Creator's Key Takeaways

This area is the quintessential fjords and was our favorite day and part of the cruise.

We'd really recommend just going direct with Olden Adventures for a better deal.

The skyift was brilliant and we would highly recommend this one to get some spectacular views of the whole area.

One thing we really loved about Olden is that when the ship departs, a lot of the locals come out to wave off the ship and wave flags and play music.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Go early in the day for the Loen Skylift to avoid long queues.
βœ“Book directly with Olden Adventures for better deals instead of through the cruise line.
