Creator's Tips & Advice

In Ålesund, you can pay the train driver directly for land train tickets if the ticket office appears closed.
If you have walking difficulties, be advised that the walk to the glacier viewing area involves a hill.
Check if you can do excursions independently to save money, though the cruise line excursion was worth it for the experience.

Later, in Olden, we take a cruise-line excursion to experience one of Norway's most spectacular landscapes. We'll show you exactly what was included, what we thought of the experience, and whether it was worth the £250 price tag.
