Welcome to our first port of call! After setting sail from Rotterdam for our 14-night Fjord cruise with Holland America, a rainy Norwegian day greeted us in beautiful Ålesund. But a little rain wasn't going to stop us from exploring! To stay dry and make the most of our day, we caught the Hop-On Hop-Off bus right at the cruise terminal. We rode it up to the famous Aksla Viewpoint, and after capturing some moody, misty panoramic photos of the town, we braved the steps to walk down into the heart of the city. We enjoyed a wonderful walk along the scenic canal and waterfront, taking in the unique Art Nouveau architecture on foot before hopping back on the bus for one final scenic loop around town. If you are planning a cruise to Norway and wondering how to handle a rainy day in port, this video shows just how easy it is to do it yourself!
