Rare Analog187 Posted February 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I'm trying to book a norwegian fjords cruise for around June but I could leave the last week of May. I don't want a very long cruise or a very expensive one. I narrowed down my options to the following: Hal 11 days Ulvik, Cruising Hardangerfjord, Molde, cruising Sognefjord, Flam, Alesund, Bergen, Haugesund ,Sandness, Kristiansand, Arhus Leaning heavily towards this one Cunard 7 days Stavanger, Olden, cruising Innvikfjorden, cruising Nordfjord, Andalsnes, cruising Romsdalsfjord, Bergen Carnival 9 days Bergen, Alesund, Molde, Olden, Skjolden and Haugesund Prices and dates are close enough to not be a factor. I guess my question is whether there's any reason to choose one of the other two cruises over the HAL cruise. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen and Ålesund are nIce coastal cities in Norway while Aarhus is a coastal city in Denmark. IMO Not that interesting : Ulvik, Molde, Haugesund, Sandness and Kristiansand 7 hours ago, Analog187 said: Cunard 7 days Stavanger, Olden, cruising Innvikfjorden, cruising Nordfjord, Andalsnes, cruising Romsdalsfjord, Bergen One deep fjord to Olden.

Haugesund not that interesting Carnival is actual also good. HAL has one Deep fjord while Carnival has two. Both has Bergen and Ålesund. HAL has more ports as Well as Aarhus price and date for HAL/ Carnival might be the deciding factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for Sognefjord I think I’d prefer HAL’s call at Flåm over Carnival’s choice of Skjolden. I don’t see any reasons based on the port list not to choose HAL over the others.

janetcbl Posted February 5, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If you have no children going, look into Viking Cruises. Their “special area” is Scandinavia, including Iceland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I did read that Flam should be a port so between that and me not being a fan of Carnival, I was leaning towards HAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Analog187 Posted February 5, 2023 Author #7 Share Posted February 5, 2023 We decided to go with HAL especially since the flights were a lot easier for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
