Creator's Key Takeaways

All our Norwegian fjord ports were amazing, full of remarkable views and scenery, but one of them completely stood out from the rest.

The port of Olden stood out from the rest and it was our favorite port of the cruise.

We highly recommend doing the hike rather than the troll car because you'll be able to enjoy the scenery all the more at a slower pace.

So, it is possible to do both the Luen Skylift and Brixto Glacier in one port day, but you'll need to keep a very close eye on your timing.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Bring layers and waterproof gear for variable weather.
βœ“Book the glacier hike over the 'troll car' for a better experience.
βœ“Start excursions early to avoid crowds and ensure you don't miss the ship.
βœ“Bring trekking poles for steep hikes.
βœ“Choose one major activity (Glacier or Skylift) for a more relaxed pace.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing the ship β€” Always leave buffer time; set alarms for 30 mins before all-aboard time.
Weather ruining the trip β€” Waterproof layers are essential; views are stunning even in rain/clouds.
Physical difficulty of hikes β€” Choose hikes based on fitness level; Himakono is easier than Trolltunga.
