Help me choose by Norwegian fjords cruise

[Analog187]

I'm trying to book a norwegian fjords cruise for around June but I could leave the last week of May.  I don't want a very long cruise or a very expensive one.  I narrowed down my options to the following:

 

Hal 
11 days
Ulvik, Cruising Hardangerfjord, Molde, cruising Sognefjord, Flam, Alesund, Bergen, Haugesund ,Sandness, Kristiansand, Arhus

Leaning heavily towards this one

 

Cunard

7 days

Stavanger, Olden, cruising Innvikfjorden, cruising Nordfjord, Andalsnes, cruising Romsdalsfjord, Bergen 

 

Carnival

9 days

Bergen, Alesund, Molde, Olden, Skjolden and Haugesund

 

Prices and dates are close enough to not be a factor.  I guess my question is whether there's any reason to choose one of the other two cruises over the HAL cruise.  Thanks in advance.

One deep fjord cruising Sognefjord to Flåm. Bergen and Ålesund are nIce coastal cities in Norway while Aarhus is a coastal city in Denmark.

IMO Not that interesting : Ulvik, Molde, Haugesund, Sandness and Kristiansand

Two Deep fjords to Olden and Skjolden, Also Bergen and Ålesund.

Haugesund not that interesting 

 

Carnival is actual also good. HAL has one Deep fjord while Carnival has two. Both has Bergen and Ålesund.

HAL has more ports as Well as Aarhus

 

price and date  for HAL/ Carnival might be the deciding factor.

I agree with this.

 

However, for Sognefjord I think I’d prefer HAL’s call at Flåm over Carnival’s choice of Skjolden.

 

I don’t see any reasons based on the port list not to choose HAL over the others.

If you have no children going, look into Viking Cruises. Their “special area” is Scandinavia, including Iceland.

They don't have anything that matches what I'm looking for.  I'm limited to the options listed.

Thanks, I did read that Flam should be a port so between that and me not being a fan of Carnival, I was leaning towards HAL.

We decided to go with HAL especially since the flights were a lot easier for us.
