Nowhere else in the world will you find such a unique combination of deep , precipitous mountainsides and busy, thriving local communities. Over thousands of years, the interplay between ice, rushing waterfalls and mountains has created a stunning fjord landscape. We are aware of the importance of meeting the expectations of the rapidly growing cruise industry, and both ports offer a well of adventure activities and exciting, scenic excursions.

Starting point for overland excursions and to Stranda, one of Scandinavia’s most renown freeride ski destinations, with a breathtaking sight of the fjord scenery, combined with mighty alpine mountains.
