I hear you! With over 2,300 photos I’m trying to sort them into albums on my phone, then I’ll decide if I want hard copy albums or not. I don't have grandkids so it’s scary how large a collection I might have had!

The anticipation is killing me! But it’s fun reading up on fjords.

I’m excited for you! I wish we were going sooner than next May.

For some reason I thought it was a difficult language to learn. Doing some googling, I’m learning it’s not as hard as I thought. There is hope for me!

I look forward to seeing it!

From what I understand, that’s all I’ll be able to easily learn!

I looked for Catalan on my Duolingo app without success. Maybe I’ll give up the remedial Spanish and start learning Norwegian for the next cruise!

Please do! I’m excited about this trip already and it’s over a year away. We have a trans Atlantic cruise in 6 months starting in Barcelona so I’m brushing up on my high school Spanish. Then I have to delve into Norwegian, improve my Swedish (learned from grandma), and try to pick up a few phrases in Danish. I’m anxious to hear about your entire trip so please don’t hold back thinking you’re boring me. Safe travels! edit: just found your YT channel. I’ll be exploring it today.

I was looking at the wrong, longer cruise. We hit the same ports in Norway, then Gothenburg in Sweden, then Aalborg and Copenhagen in Denmark. We embark from Southampton and head straight to Bergen. No other UK ports which is fine with me. For now. We’ll hit those some other time!

Bergen, Nordfjordeid, Stavanger, and Oslo. We visit Denmark and the UK too.

We just booked a cruise this morning! We chose it because it goes to Geiranger and Flam. There weren’t many room choices available - I think others are scrambling to see those fjords too.

More research I have to do. Bringing Norwegian fjords cruises back to the top of my list of things to do.

The pressure for a second cruise in 2024 is back on! Thank you. I really don’t want to miss those 2 fjords. My cruise research has taken the front seat again!

Thank you everyone! I’ve learned a lot from your replies, not just what ships to look into. I’ve learned June is a better time to go than spring, how to navigate this site (where to look for cruise info), seen two amazing videos, and learned not *all* fjords are closing to ships in 2026. Y’all are wonderful sources of information!

Sounds like a great time!
