Itinerary Help

[Camber99]

Looking for some help deciding on choosing an itinerary for a 2024 Norwegian/Iceland cruise. There are two itineraries that we are interested in on Atlas World Cruises. The first itinerary covers both Geiranger and Flam, which would be great, but the date of the second itinerary works better for us. Also, would love feedback on Atlas from anyone who has sailed with them. Thanks!

They both look like great trips.  I like that they emphasize Norway (which is a better cruising destination) but give you a taste of Iceland (for perhaps a future land based Iceland trip.)

 

I would vote for the first.   2 long Fjords plus more daylight.   The sail into the Fjords is beautiful, but sunrise time can be important.   As an example, if you dock in Flam at 7 am, you could be entering the Fjord at 4 am or so.   I would get up at sunrise (maybe 5 am in July ?) to enjoy the scenery.   More daylight in the evening doesn't hurt either.  

 

Have fun....
