• TAX FREE NORWAY: in this sailing region, taxes are refunded in cash directly on board in the last port of Norway along the route. Local service employees come on board and remain on duty at the reception desk until the ship departs from Norway. If you did not manage to receive tax free on board, then checks in a special envelope can be sent by mail, indicating the bank card number to which the tax refund should be transferred.
• If you expect to pay in cash at ports of call, we recommend that you change your currency in Russia IN ADVANCE - have Danish kroner and, especially, Norwegian kroner with you. On site, the exchange rate is very uncomfortable: euros, of course, are accepted for payment, but only paper banknotes, change is given only in local currency, and at a rate, to put it mildly, that is beneficial only to them and, moreover, quite. Almost everywhere in Scandinavia they accept bank cards- this will be the most profitable method of payment, eliminating the need to receive unnecessary change in local currency.
• Free Wi-Fi is available at the Flåm fjord pier.
• You can often find photos in descriptions of excursions in Olden showing the glacier at the feet of tourists. Gentlemen, these photos have not been relevant for 10 years! The glacier has long since risen. You can walk along it only in your dreams, but in reality you can only observe it from a distance and take pictures against its background. Despite this fact, the excursion to the glacier is very popular and does not leave anyone indifferent.
• In Olden, in the area of ​​​​the Briksdal glacier, it blows very often strong wind, we recommend taking a scarf and hat with you at any time of the year.
• In Olden you can climb to the glacier not only on foot (about 1 hour), but also in special troll cars (for an additional fee)
• In May, an excursion to Dalsniba from the port of Geiranger is impossible (the road there is closed, the path is blocked by a barrier), there is snow in the mountains at this time. All excursions purchased on board from the cruise line indicate that the Dalsnibba Viewpoint may be replaced by another. There is no point in overpaying; you can purchase an excursion to the Fludalsjuve site, which is in no way inferior in beauty. Keep in mind that Dalsniba is closed only until the beginning of June, then it opens because... it's private and profitable business
• In Geiranger you should definitely try the local chocolate self made, made in the shape of a fjord, among the flavors are completely unexpected blue cheese, brandy, blueberry, etc.
• In Geiranger wifi spot at Cafe Ole Olebuda
• People on cruises in Northern Europe and the Norwegian fjords are looking for the beauty of endless mountain landscapes; don’t be lazy to wake up early and go up to the upper deck or go out to the balcony. Before mooring at the port, the liner usually travels along the fjord or even deep into the fjord for about 3-4 hours, all the most beautiful photos can be done at this time. The most picturesque approaches along narrow and rocky fjords: Geiranger and Flåm.
• Most Norwegian ports located in the fjord region are small villages with virtually no shops. It is better to buy souvenirs and essential goods in the morning, because most shops are open until 16:00. On weekends, everything in small Norwegian ports is closed, including banks, pharmacies, etc.
• Bergen stands out among Norwegian ports. It is a big city with excellent infrastructure and big amount shops and souvenir shops.
• Fishing in Norway is very developed, but it is rare in any port that you can find seafood on the market on a weekday, or a fish restaurant that would be open during the day. Most restaurants open after 16:00 (the ship stays usually until 17-18:00). Bergen has an excellent fish market, where you can taste not only the usual salmon, caviar or oysters, but also whale meat, as well as traditional Bergen fish soup.
• If you find a sunny day in Bergen, then you are truly lucky. Due to certain climatic conditions It rains almost constantly here. There is even a joke in Bergen about this: “A visitor asks a boy: Does it always rain here? The boy answers: I don’t know, I’m only 8 years old.” Therefore, you must take a raincoat or umbrella when leaving the ship.
• On excursions in the Fjords from the cruise company, it is prohibited to separate from the group. If you come with a group to a glacier or to a panoramic site, you must return to the port with the group. Cruise line bears full responsibility for the passenger in the group.
• We recommend renting a car in Norway only to brave drivers; the famous troll tongue roads and winding mountain loops are only possible for very experienced drivers. Tour bus drivers are almost without exception local residents who know every turn and bend of the road by heart.
• Knitted items (sweaters, hats, mittens, etc.) should not be bought in souvenir shops; the quality of such items will sadden you after the first wash. If you are looking to buy a knitted item in Norway, choose a good specialized store. The most famous Norwegian brand: Dale of Norway.
• To feel comfortable on the fjords, bring a windproof jacket, comfortable flat shoes, a fleece jacket and thermal underwear. We recommend dressing according to the cabbage principle - several layers of thin clothes that can be removed in case of warm sunny weather.
• Notice how the landscape on the fjords changes from port to port: high or steep cliffs, varied terrain, valleys, numerous small and large, deep and quiet waterfalls - depending on the season, each region of the fjords looks different.
• If you are traveling along Flåm railway on your own, if several trains depart from Flåm station and back on the day of your stay (check the train schedule before your trip), do not rush to get on the first train in the morning; usually all tickets are purchased in advance by the cruise company and most likely your family will have to travel in different cars.
• May route along the fjords – amazing sight! There is still snow in the mountains, the waterfalls are already gaining strength and power, and the fields are already covered with a bright yellow carpet of dandelions. The most right time catch the brutal landscape of the fjords and feel the power of Norway’s nature.
