Rare dickinson Posted September 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Looking at Norway. 2024. August 3 for 7 days on Sky. All ports in Norway. Other cruise is August 24 on Sky for 8 days. 2 ports in Norway and 3 in Denmark. For those in the know, which would you pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystabel Posted September 5, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2023 With that limited amount of information, I’d do Norway and Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cr8tiv1 Posted September 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) I think you should join me for a July 2024 cruise to Iceland and Greenland. The later and farther north you go, the better are your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. I liked Denmark, not sure if there are enough things to do for 3 ports. Are these 50% off cruises if booked onboard? Edited September 5, 2023 by cr8tiv1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what you like to see- the 7 days will take you through the fjords, with glaciers, waterfalls and nature. Olden and Geiranger are quite glorious. The 8 day is more city-based with lots of arts, museums and culture. We did the fjords last June on Sky and are booked on a shorter Norway/Denmark cruise on her next year.

Not *exactly* the same as what you're asking about but I don't think you'll be disappointed in either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skynight Posted September 5, 2023 #7 Share Posted September 5, 2023 The August 3rd Norway Fjords. We sailed a longer RT Southampton to the Norwegian fjords that went all the way to North Cape. It was one of our most memorable sailings. spectacular scenery. Would suggest you also look at a similar cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare dickinson Posted September 5, 2023 Author #9 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Unfortunately at this point I can only take 7 day cruises. I’m on one now and will see when I get off if my mal de debarquenent is higher than my “new” normal and how long it lasts. Every cruise could be my last if it gets worse. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was going to be my recommendation, so I think you made the right choice. The Norwegian fjords are stunning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely would have been my recommendation, Geiranger and Olden are our 2 favourite Norway ports-of-call too, getting both on your itinerary is very good!
