dock Posted September 4 #1 Share Posted September 4 Hi all, we’ve booked our first NCL on Prima from Reykjavik to Iceland. 14- 24 August 2025. Ive now noticed the cruise from Southampton to Reykjavik( 03-14 August) includes overnight in Reykjavik and the Norway component has Bergen instead of Maloy. Any opinions as to whether we should consider a change. I’m looking to firm up air so before I do so , I was hoping for some input. Thank you.

hallasm Posted September 4 #2 Share Posted September 4 I'm not quite sure I know what you're asking for. Regarding Norway, Måløy is a very small town with very limited options, while Bergen is one of the best ports to visit in Norway. For Iceland there is a separate Forum https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2705-iceland-and-greenland/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ontheweb Posted September 4 #3 Share Posted September 4 We did that cruise in 2023. We enjoyed Bergen very much. There was an overnight in Reykjavik at the end of the cruise. I do not see where this is a problem. In fact we were docked, while another cruise lines ship that I presume did not have an overnight needed to tender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock Posted September 4 Author #4 Share Posted September 4 Apologies, if not clear. @hallasmI’m wondering if Bergen is a better option than Maloy? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted September 5 #5 Share Posted September 5 Bergen is beautiful. Many options for things to do. I’d go with Bergen. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odie1024 Posted October 13 #8 Share Posted October 13 @dock we are on the cruise that leaves the UK on the 3rd and picked it because of Bergen. We are actually extending our vacation and joining a Scandinavia trip with Gate 1 after the NCL cruise ends so we can see more of Norway and also Sweden and Denmark since Iceland is not that far from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. Yes. It's a large historical city with a lot of things to do, and Måløy is not really developed for tourism. Then again, I'm from Bergen, so I'm not 100% neutral here. It's not that Måløy is a bad place. If you were on a roadtrip it would be worth a stop. But it just doesn't have all the things that the city ports have, and you don't get to go deep into the fjord either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem was we did not have enough time to see everything we wanted to see. Actually, it would have been a better use of the time in Bergen with the same amount of time if the ship had docked and left later as some things were not yet open when we first disembarked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dock Posted Tuesday at 12:06 PM Author #11 Share Posted Tuesday at 12:06 PM Does anyone recall when all excursion's were released. We still don’t have any for Gerainger and its less than a year to departure, Off course with all NCL itinerary changes I’ve checked port schedule and it’s still listed but I’m getting a bit stressed lol.
