Creator's Key Takeaways

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

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

We really enjoyed the excursions that we picked and loved Olden.

It really is the most beautiful stop of the week and one you want to make the most of.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Go early in the day to avoid long queues at the Loen Skylift.
✓Book directly with Olden Adventures for a better deal than through the cruise line.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Fitting multiple excursions into one port day — Book the Skylift excursion for the morning and the glacier excursion for the afternoon, and get off the ship early.
Weather affecting the experience — Bring layers as it can be chilly and windy, especially at the Skylift, and be prepared for rain on the glacier walk.
