NORWAY: Oslo, Bergen, Flam, Geiranger and the Fjords

If you ever have a chance to make a cruise stop in Norway--take advantage of seeing some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Norway's biggest tourist attraction is without a doubt its nature. Especially beautiful are the mighty mountains, fjords and waterfalls in western Norway. Fjords can be found along the entire length of the Norwegian coastline, from Oslo Fjord to Varanger Fjord. And each one has good reason to be called the most beautiful.
We know that skiing originated in Norway. Words like ski and slalom are Norwegian. Ski jumping and slalom competition started in the county of Telemark. Ski enthusiasts can go skiing on the Olympic facilities in Lillehammer, where Alberto Tomba and Vegard Ulvang were cheered on by tens of thousands of spectators during the Olympic Winter Games in February 1994. The annual ski festival at Holmenkollen in Oslo attracts a great many participants and tens of thousands of spectators. But.... don't think that these vacation spots are just for winter seasons. They are most beautiful--as you shall see--in the summer months, also.
Today, cruise ships call on more than 30 different Norwegian ports annually. Norwegian cruises offer a vast selection of shore excursions where visitors can disembark to experience the rich coastal culture and heritage - from architecture, museums, and literature to festivals and concerts. From its many ports along the coast it is easy to launch into a wide range of exhilarating summer outdoor sports activities like mountain walks, camping, fishing and golf. However, the fjords are.. and probably will always be...most sought after cruise itineraries. The Norwegian coastline includes more than 67,000 enticing islands, enabling cruise ships to sail into beautiful sheltered waters.
