Cruise Deals Around The Norwegian Fjords
Looking for new and unique cruise deals? Considered Norway and it’s fjords? The word ‘fjord’ is defined as a long narrow inlet with steep cliffs or sides. The two fjords, Naeoyfjord and Geirangefjord, have recently made it onto the UNESCO World Heritage List but come and see the appeal for yourself!
The fjords are never forgotten once seen. Snow-clad mountains, large clear lakes, beautiful pine forests and breathtaking waterfalls. All this in a setting of clean air and light evenings, make the Norwegian fjords a popular tourist destination.It’s time to look for a cheap cruise now!
So many interesting things to see.. tiny,working farms and unspoilt villages. Tromso with its magnificent Arctic cathedral is one of the places worth seeing. Quaint wooden buildings and a thriving fish market in Bergen. In Stavanger, the Vikingskiphus (Viking Boat Museum) is well worth a visit.
No time for being bored either!There are various activities laid on in the towns and villages en-route by the cruise operators. These include downhill bike racing, dog-sledding, snow mobile rides, walking on a glacier, a fjord safari and for the most adventurous white-water rafting! There are also opportunities for ice fishing where you cut a hole in the ice, drop in a fishing line and keep your fingers crossed!
The region’s scenery is as diverse as its architecture.There are numerous attractions including the Art Noveau buildings in Alesund and Bryggen, the region’s indigenous stave buildings, the impressive National Opera House in Oslo and the photogenic Hanseatic wharf at Bergen! However, nothing comes close to the incredible architecture that can be seen at the Igloo Hotel (also known as the Norway Ice Hotel) in Alta!! Everything, but everything, inside this hotel is made out of ice – even down to the glasses that you drink from!
The best cruise deals to search for are those leaving in July and August.The coastal regions of Norway have relatively mild winters and cooler summer months so be sure to pack warm clothes!
