After five years of cruising Norway and visiting 17 different Norwegian cruise ports, we've discovered that not all Norwegian ports are created equal. Some offer breathtaking fjord scenery, spectacular waterfalls and peaceful countryside walks, while others are larger towns and cities filled with history, architecture, shops and cafes. In this video, I'm ranking the 17 Norwegian cruise ports I've visited, from my least favourite to my favourite, to help you decide which Norwegian cruise itinerary might suit you best. I've split the ports into two groups: small and scenic Norwegian ports, followed by the larger towns and cities. These are my personal rankings based on our own experiences, and although I've enjoyed every port, some definitely suit our style of travel better than others. Which Norwegian cruise ports are worth visiting, and which ones would I happily return to? We'll explore ports including Flåm, Olden, Hellesylt, Skjolden, Åndalsnes, Måløy, Nordfjordeid, Ålesund, Stavanger, Trondheim, Kristiansand, Tromsø, Haugesund, Narvik, Hammerfest and more. Along the way, I'll share what we enjoyed about each destination, the walks we've discovered, the excursions we've taken and some of the things you can do independently without necessarily spending a fortune on a cruise ship excursion. If you're planning a Norwegian fjords cruise, choosing the right itinerary can make a huge difference to your holiday. Some ports are perfect for spectacular scenery and peaceful walks, while others are better suited to exploring museums, historic streets, waterfronts and city centres. We'll also look at why you shouldn't automatically assume that the most famous Norwegian cruise ports will be your favourites. After visiting 17 ports over five years, we've learned that the best itinerary depends on the kind of places you enjoy exploring. Planning a Norwegian cruise?
