shcopeland Posted August 24 #1 Share Posted August 24 Itinerary A Bergen Olden Andalsnes Tromso Honnigsvag Alta Molde Trondheim Edinburgh *difference on A - no Skjolden/Sogneford, Alesund, Haugesund Itinerary B Edinburgh Skjolden/Sognefjord Olden Trondheim Honnigsvag Tromso Alesund Haugesund *difference on B- no Bergen, Andalsnes, Alta, Molde Thanks for any advice. I believe that we would get one extra fjord on choice B with Skjolden/Sognefjord, but no sure if the trade off is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted August 24 #2 Share Posted August 24 Not a big difference - except the fjord sailing to Skjolden or Bergen. - which dates? Midnight sun might make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shcopeland Posted August 24 Author #3 Share Posted August 24 (edited) June 17th for first one June 13th for second one Been in Iceland for the summer solstice so that is not as big as a deal. Edited August 24 by shcopeland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted August 24 #4 Share Posted August 24 (edited) The timing makes no difference. Iceland does not have the midnight sun at midsummer - However, the northernmost tip of Iceland is close by. Both of the mentioned itineraries come inside the Arctic Circle where there is a midnight sun. Both itineraries include Olden, which is a port in one of the iconic deep fjords - the fjord to Skjolden is not ‘that iconic’. Bergen has much more to offer. I would choose an itinerary that includes Bergen. Edited August 24 by hallasm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edinburgher Posted August 24 #6 Share Posted August 24 (edited) seeking advice on which itinerary would be the better choice on Princess Land of Midnight Sun cruise Not that I am biased in any way, but I would go with itinerary A as it includes Edinburgh!!😁 Edited August 24 by edinburgher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As does 'B' 😉 As one is more early to arrive in advance of sailing and leave quickly after the cruise ends, 'B' would likely give the OP more time to see a little more of Edinburgh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good spot and thank you for that correction. I had been in a hurry and was about to log out when I spotted the thread and only quickly skimmed through it, not noticing Edinburgh is also on itinerary B, possibly because it was the first name. sccopeland, as fruitmachine has rightly noted, itinerary B would give you the opportunity to spend as many days in Scotland and/or only Edinburgh as you are able to spend before embarkation in Edinburgh. this would be a bonus as most cruise passengers only have a few hours to spend in the city and miss a number of worthwhile sights due to time constraints. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
