YouTube Video Description

Towering cliffs overlooking small villages that cling impossibly to the shoreline as waterfalls seem to drop from the clouds… with its fascinating history and unparalleled natural beauty today's episode of PCW is all about the spectacular fjords of Norway - https://bit.ly/41W3kAx MORE INFORMATION: https://bit.ly/3JsifuS Norway’s majestic natural drama leaves most visitors in awe. Vast craggy cliff faces loom over Fjords and modest fishing villages. The rugged country inland is dotted only by the occasional farm and 13th-Century church. Much of Norway lies inside the Arctic Circle so it’s the place to come to experience the midnight sun, polar nights and the aurora borealis. Unlike in Alaska, you're less likely to see glaciers and interesting wildlife and more likely to turn your gaze to dramatic waterfalls tumbling down verdant cliffs and mountainsides. Outdoors enthusiasts can get closer with kayaking or hiking trips. Smaller villages along the fjords function more as transit hubs for excursions out to scenic vistas, while Norway's cities give the opportunity to explore excellent museums on the country's maritime history and local culture, as well as shop for its well-regarded woollen products. Adventurous types might want to follow the coastline all the way north, into the Arctic, to spy on polar bears and abandoned mines and to seek out the midnight sun. With a wide variety of itinerary lengths and ship types, from mainstream to luxury and expedition, cruise travellers have a lot of choices to tailor their Norway cruises to their interests. And with hotel and food prices in Norway being sky high, a cruise can also be the most affordable way to see this northern land.
