We sailed our first Norwegian Fjords Cruise 2026 | Our Honest Full Review | The Good, Bad and Ugly

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creators provide a comprehensive review of their experience sailing through the Norwegian fjords on the Celebrity Apex. They describe the trip as a nature-focused adventure characterized by epic landscapes, waterfalls, and peaceful environments enhanced by the prevalence of quiet electric vehicles. The creators highlight that the passenger demographic is diverse and that English is widely spoken. They recommend booking shore excursions directly at the pier rather than through the cruise line to save money and avoid large crowds. They also advise travelers to use credit cards instead of Euros, noting that Norway uses the Kroner and that American Express is rarely accepted. Potential travelers should prepare for unpredictable weather and the constant daylight during the summer months. The review concludes with a warning regarding environmental regulations in Norway, noting that certain major cruise ships may be restricted from visiting specific UNESCO Heritage sites like Geirangerfjord and Flom after 2025 to protect the ecosystem. Despite these challenges, the creators express a strong desire to revisit the region.
