5 out of 5
This was our first embarkation/disembarkation port. But did spend time in Rotterdam to do activities and sight seeing.

Eidfjord, Norway

5 out of 5
Very beautiful port, easy walking city. We did the waterfall bus excursion followed by a fjord cruise as part of the same excursion.

Cruise Hardangerfjord

5 out of 5
Lovely scenery.

Bergen, Norway

5 out of 5
Enjoyed this beautiful city. Did a fjord cruise to go further up to see waterfalls and small villages up close. Walked extensively around Bergen to see the beautiful buildings and Bryggen. Did hop on, hop off bus tour and it helped with history.

Flaam, Norway

1 out of 5
One of our favorites. Did a small trolley tour to see Flam and get a good perspective. Port is convenient and all cafes shops very close to boat. Excursion took us to Tvinde waterfalls and went to a historic hotel for a coffee break. Loved this port!

Cruise Sognefjord

5 out of 5
Again beautiful scenery after leaving port.

Stavanger, Norway

2 out of 5
Started with hop on hop off bus tour to see Stavanger. Walked around city as well. Took fjord excursion to Lysefjord and it was amazing, even with the rain. Rødne excursions did a nice job as boat was comfortable and staff efficient.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Went smoothly. No issues with self disembarkation.
