Different people have different interests. So whatever we will say is our favorite, it might not be yours. research all the places, write down what you like to do/see and then decide.
And will you stay a few days in the cities before or after your cruise?
We started to do research... but all ports seems magnificient!! I guess I'm looking for personal experience or professional tips from people that have been to these places. We enjoy visiting places, so regardless which itinerary we will choose, we will enjoy... i'm trying to get as much enjoyment as possible!!!
We would not likely stay before or after... get in the day before, and leave the day after.Maybe we would extend the trip if we choose the Kiel departure, visit Hamburg... we have been to Amsterdam in the past.
Thanks

Option 1 gets you to Tromsø and Nordkapp up above the Arctic Circle for Midnight Sun action, which is a really unique experience (unless you live there).
Option 2 gets you to Flåm, which provides a good fjord cruise and opportunity to ride the Flåmsbana train, and Bergen, which is a really great city to visit, but it's got so many things to do that one day in port really isn't enough.

So...what you are telling me is that both are great option and cant go wrong! That doesnt help me choose 🙂

Hello everyone,
My wife and I (39 and 35) are planning a 10-day ish cruise in the Norwegian Fjords in May. We found 2 itineraries that are of interest on 9 days, the other 10 days, both a in the same price range and dates.... late may/early june. The ports of call are quite different and we would like which of the 2 offer the best place to visit. Please feel free to provide advice on why we should pick one over the other!!!
We are in pretty good shape and like to walk, hike, or bike. We enjoy physical activities. I am leaning toward itinerary 1 as it goes up to the polar circle (Honningsvag) and I guess going there is a "one time thing" that I would never do again. However, looking at the port of calls, itinerary 2 seems to have more popular/known stops... but I'm no where near knowledgable about Norway!. Here they are...
Itinerary 1 MSC
Depart Kiel
alesund
Honningsvag
Tromso
Modle
Nordfjordeid
Itinerary 2 Costa
Depart Amsterdam
Nordfjordeid
Flam
Andalsnes
Bremerhaven
Thank you for the advice

Thank you very much for sharing... watching this video want to make me go even more!!!
MSC also has another cruise that has the same itinerery as option 1 but includes Flam (an extra day).... I would stretch our budget... but ... it may well be worth it!!!
Thanks again!
