Creator's Key Takeaways

When I started cruising, so many people told me that it it was just down to personal preference as to whether or not I would want an inside cabin, in other words, a room with no window or a balcony cabin.

Norway in general is known for being a relatively expensive place to visit, and I have found that to be the case on all of my cruises that have gone there.

The weather in Norway can be incredibly changeable no matter what season you visit in. And it can also be very unpredictable.

I always say to people that even if you do feel a little bit off when you're going to Norway, chances are once your ship actually gets into the fjords, you're going to be absolutely fine.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Carefully consider your cabin type, as Norway cruises often have multiple sea days.
βœ“Set a budget before your cruise and research excursion costs in advance.
βœ“Select dining times that don't clash with sailaways from port.
βœ“Pack for changeable weather, including waterproof jackets and extra layers.
βœ“Choose appropriate footwear, such as walking boots for fjord hikes.
βœ“Take precautions against seasickness, such as sea bands or medication.

Choosing the right cabin type β€” Consider sea days and public spaces with views; inside cabins can be sufficient on ships designed for Norway.
Managing budget for excursions β€” Research costs beforehand and use websites like Vator to save money.
Packing for unpredictable weather β€” Bring waterproof layers and extra bags, as luggage policies are flexible from the UK.
Seeing the northern lights β€” Book a winter cruise for better chances, as summer has too much daylight.
