A cruise is one of the best ways to see the Norweigan Fjords, both on board the ship and on land during port days. Our P&O Iona cruise docked at Stavanger, Olden (separate vlog on the channel), Alesund, & Haugesund.
Stavanger - first port
We saw so many rib boats going out here and it seems like one of the best places to do it. Back on land, you can visit the three swords monument which is only a short bus ride away. The town itself is beautiful with lots of colourful buildings, small side streets, and a plethora of shops, bars and eateries.
Alesund - third port
The best way to see Alesund is from the top of Mount Aksla which you can either walk or drive up (the train tour takes you up there). From here you get a stunning view overlooking the town the the fjords and if the sun is out everything glitters.
Haugesund - fourth port
A short walk over the bridge takes you to a bustling town full of shops and cafes. If you want to see how Vikings lived in Norway, head to the Viking Experience. If you fancy stretching your legs, the coastal path is a lovely trail with great views that takes you all the way to the Rising Sculpture Park.
Each port had its own feel and experience so make sure you get off the ship to get a taste of Norway in these towns.
