The waters of the Norwegian fjords are generally not very choppy, especially compared to open sea conditions. The fjords are typically sheltered by surrounding mountains, which help calm the water and create a more tranquil and serene cruising experience.
However, the sea can be a bit rougher in some areas, particularly if you are cruising outside the fjords or on the open ocean, like when crossing the Norwegian Sea. Within the fjords themselves, the water is usually quite calm, making it ideal for scenic cruises.
If you're prone to seasickness, it’s always a good idea to check the weather forecast and consider seasickness remedies, but overall, the Norwegian Fjords are known for their peaceful, picturesque waters.

Are the Norwegian fjords choppy?

Yes - you can view the Northern Lights on one of our Norwegian cruises, however we can't guarantee it! The aurora borealis is near impossible to predict, but sightings are more likely on clear nights between October and March, and odds increase the further north you travel. Cruises to Tromsø, the capital of the Arctic, should give you a decent chance. To view our special Northern Lights voyages, visit our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/cruise-destinations/northern-lights">dedicated page</a>.

Can you see the Northern Lights in the Norwegian fjords?

To see the Norwegian fjords and experience their beauty, the ideal duration of your trip will depend on what you want to see and do. However, a 5 to 7-day cruise is typically recommended for a good overall experience of the stunning landscapes of the fjords.

How many days do you need to see the Norwegian fjords?

Cunard visits some of the most popular and beautiful spots the fjords have to offer. The Sognefjord, known as 'king of the fjords', is the longest, and well worth a visit. The city of Tromsø is beautiful and full of Norwegian culture, and is also a perfect place for bird watching, hiking and viewing the Northern Lights. To the North lies the Lofoten Islands: authentic villages lying amongst untouched scenery. Our last recommendation is Geirangerfjord: an UNESCO listed site with steep sides, cascading falls and stunning viewpoints.

What are the best places to visit in the Norwegian fjords?

The Norwegian currency is the Norwegian krone (kr).

What is the currency in the Norwegian fjords?

The warmth that the Gulf Stream brings to the fjords contrasts with the cold climate of the North, so a cruise to Norway could have any number of weather patterns. The coast can see frequent rain and decent winds, and winters range from mild to just below freezing, so when you're packing for your cruise make sure you're prepared for anything.

What is the weather like in the Norwegian fjords?

What languages are spoken in the Norwegian fjords?

The best way to prepare for the seasons and activities on the fjords is to wear layers. T-shirts and jumpers for the daytime port visits, as well as a sturdy pair of shoes for walking or hiking, are a must, and a light raincoat is a wise choice too. In all seasons, bring sunglasses and suncream, and be sure to pack warmer clothes for cool evenings on deck. In the winter months, go warmer: winter coat, hat, gloves, warm socks, and scarves. Ultimately, the weather is variable in this part of the world, so make sure you're prepared.

What should I pack for a Norwegian fjords cruise?

This depends on what you're looking for on your cruise. If you want the maximum amount of daylight and sun, the summer months (June-August) are best, but if you seek the Northern Lights, then book your holiday between October and March.

When is the best time to cruise the Norwegian fjords?

Cunard currently visits Sognefjord, Ofotfjord, Romsdalsfjord, Lustrafjorden, Innvikfjorden, Nordfjord and Aurlandsfjord, to name a few, and you can visit even more on some of our port excursions.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cunard.com/en-gb/find-a-cruise#{!tag=destinationTag}destinationIds=&amp;{!tag=embarkTag}embarkPortCode=&amp;{!tag=departTag}departDate=&amp;{!tag=durationTag}duration=&amp;sort=departDate%20asc,price_GBP_anonymous%20asc&amp;group.sort=departDate%20asc,price_GBP_anonymous%20asc&amp;start=0&amp;{!tag=portsTag}portsOfCall=AUR,GFJ,IVK,LSF,NFJ,RDF,SNF,SFD,SUN,AES,AND,BGO,BOO,FL1,GE1,HAU,HVG,GRA,NAR,NFD,OL1,OSL,SLN,TOS,TRD,OSF,STA,KRS&amp;soldOut=false">View our cruise itineraries</a>&nbsp;to find more magical places you can explore.

Which Norwegian fjords do Cunard visit?

When cruising through the Norwegian fjords, both sides of the ship offer stunning views, but the best side can depend on the specific route you're taking and the direction of travel.<ul><li>Left (Port) Side:&nbsp;If you're heading north (towards the Arctic), the port side often offers better views of the fjords as you approach, with dramatic cliffs and waterfalls.</li><li>Right (Starboard) Side:&nbsp;On the way south, the starboard side might offer more scenic views. The landscapes on the right side are often more exposed, with beautiful vistas as you approach small villages or larger fjords.</li></ul>In general, some cruise lines may adjust their itineraries to provide the best views on both sides, but it’s a good idea to ask the crew or review the cruise map to determine which side offers the best scenery for the specific route and time of day.

Which side of the ship is best for a Norwegain fjords cruise?

UK, Germany, Australia and US citizens do not need a visa to travel to Norway for holiday purposes.
