5 Reasons to Consider Cruising Norway

11/4/2017

Norway Cruise Britannia
Norway is simply stunning.  No pictures can capture the beauty that is the majestic snow capped glacial mountains, the crystal clear waters of the Fjords and the picturesque colourful wooden villages that scatter amongst the journey.

A great way to experience Norway is from a cruise ship and here are a few reasons why.

  1. 1. Unpack Once

There is a lot to see in Norway, you want to take in as many of the towns/villages as you can. 

​However packing and unpacking, moving from one lodging to the next, can be tiresome.  Once on a cruise ship, unpack once and your accommodation moves with you.

2. Visit More Than One City

On the P&O Britannia 7 night itinerary, we visited four cities in Norway.  Stavanger, Olden, Flam and Bergen. Although only for one day each, the cruise gives a nice sampler of what Norway has to offer.


3. Enjoy the Scenery At Night

Norway enjoys long days with very little darkness in July.  During the day you can explore the cities, at night watch the scenery pass you by.  Pre-dinner drinks at the front of the ship in the comfortable bar with 180 degree views of where you are heading, dinner by the restaurant window as you watch Norway pass you by, post-dinner walk on the outside deck, there is an endless supply of beautiful scenery as you cruise through the inlets of the Norwegian Fjords.

4. Great for Families

Cruising Norway is a great option for families as it provides a balanced holiday for all.  On the P&O Britannia kids are well looked after with an awesome kids club and amazing staff. 

The kids can make friends and play whilst the adults enjoy on-board activities and the scenery. Lets be honest, a seven and 10 year old are going to be more interested in learning how to spin DJ decks than marvel at snow capped mountains!

5. Shore Activities

We picked some great shore activities for our day stops in Norway. 

Kayaking the Fjords in Olden, taking a cable car up 2000ft in Bergen, visiting the street of colours in Stavanger and experiencing the world famous Flam Railway.

There is a lot you can cram into your 7-8 hour port stop and we made sure we certainly did!
