What to do in Maloy, Norway

[Waringstown8]

One of our ports for MSC cruise of the Norwegian Fjords at the beginning of May has been changed to Maloy. I've trawled the Internet but can find very little information.  Has anyone experience of this port and what to do at it and can anyone advise re possible excursions? Unfortunately even MSC don't have any excursions up yet for this port!

Måløy is a very tiny town.  I'm surprised it's a cruise destination.  There are definitely not many activities.  Here are a few links I could find.

2022 is the first year for Måløy as a cruise port.  And you are probably one of the first ships in port. 

 

I have not seen what excursions they are planning, but there are very scenic nature in the area. 

 

Things to see nearby are Selja monastery, Kraakenes lighthouse, Stad peninsula.

something tells me you'll park a WEE bit from town . . . as this is the only 1000 ft berth I can see .....

 

with Google Earth 'street mode' you can walk some of the streets . . .

Many thank for all the replies, it looks quite scenic. Hopefully MSC will come up with some interesting excursions!

 Iinternet  searched "port of Maloy" andamonmgst other results,  up popped a description from the Hurtigruten UK website.(Norway ports)

 

Wary of copyright,and CC rules which mean copy/paste cannot be used,  I suggest you do the same and read what it says.

 

Briefly, one of the biggest facilities in Norway  for processing and exporting  fish, also has lighthouses and a famous Rock shaped like a  mushroom.

Does anyone already have some experiences with the excursions in Maloy, including the pricing of the excursions. I've found a list of possible excursions, but I can't find any information regarding the pricing of those excursions.  

We are thinking to take a cruise (first time) for our honeymoon in September 2023 to the fjords of Norway and the itinerary that we have in mind has port days in Maloy, Nordfjordeid en Flam. For Nordfjordeid and Flam there is enough information online. But I can't find information about pricing of the excursions around Maloy. And we would like to make a budget for the total costs of the cruise (as we also have to pay for the wedding itself as well). 

Any information would be welcome. Thanks.

From the MSC excursions page for Malory for Sep this year:

 

Hike Mount Veten (£42 pp) 3.5 hours - strenuous hike

 

Rib adventure and amazing views from the sea (£127 pp) 2 hours

 

Deer farm natural wonders (£107 pp) 2 hours - see the deer, feed them etc

 

Explore the west cape (£76 pp) 4.5 hours - scenic drive seeing natural sites

 

This is all I can see, there may be more that are booked up. It gives you an idea of the costs hopefully.

We were there in June of this year and there is absolutely nothing to do in the port.  According to many websites it rains 300 days a year and it was rainy and foggy on the day we were there.  The ship will have some excursions, but they are mediocre at best and if the weather is bad they can be dangerous.  We will never go to Maloy again.  It was the last port on a 14 day cruise and the memory of this port is not good.

Oh no that’s disappointing. But thank you for the honesty.
