5 Norway Cities in 5 Days - My Norwegian Cruise Experience

Рет қаралды 10,395

Күн бұрын

I visited 5 Norway cities in just 5 days on my recent Norwegian cruise adventure. My cruise visited Bergen, Alesund, Olden, Skjolden, and Haugesund. I visit sites such as the Briksdal Glacier, Trollstigen, and the Bergen Funicular in this video of my Norwegian excursions.
I set sail on a Carnival Cruise Line ship, Carnival Pride, from Dover, England for a 9-day voyage to Norway. The Carnival Pride, part of Carnival's Spirit class, debuted back in 2002 and is one of the oldest ships in the Carnival Cruise fleet. Carnival recently renovated the Carnival Pride during an extensive dry dock; many of those renovations are featured in this video.

This Carnival Pride cruise ship took me to Norway on a 9-day cruise. This was my 25th cruise overall and my 12th Carnival cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Carnival Pride cruise ship and cruising with Carnival Cruise Line.

Great video!! I want to do a similar cruise to include Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.. maybe Iceland too! I really want to go take the Bergen train line to Oslo in the winter.. The video of that line is AMAZING and I want to experience it!

I think we may have been on the same cruise. I just ran across you today as I am looking at Celebrity Apex and found your posts from the Pride. We sailed on June 30th on the Norway cruise out of Dover. I found a post in our cruise group on Facebook I believe may have been you that is what lead me to think we were on the same. Definitely a trip of a lifetime and that Birksdal Glacier was amazing. You said the same thing I said that the pictures and videos don't even begin to capture it. Only difference, we walked up and down. :-) Enjoying your videos so far.

Norway looks spectacular, I'm sure your footage is just a taste of what's there to see. I've always wanted to do a roadtrip up the coast to see the fjords and this video has put that idea closer to the forefront of my mind. But that will have to wait since I'm flying to Rome tomorrow so I can board the Celebrity Constellation ("Connie") on Thursday! Almost done packing!

Great video Zach - sorry you had the fog in Alesund. I just left there three days ago while sailing NCL Prima and we were blessed with clear skies and epic views at Trollstigen. One of the most spectacular places I've ever visited. We did have the fog in Bergen however - as you said, that's nature. 🤔

What beauty! Thanks for sharing your visit to Norway, Zach. We're going to Iceland and Norway next summer (NCL Prima) and will stop in Bergen, Alesund and Geiranger. I appreciate seeing your walk to the funicular in Bergen, as I wondered how doable that was. Excellent! Thanks again for showing us your travels and sprinkling some history here and there!

@ZachtheTravelingMan 10 ай бұрын

Have fun! It’s a wonderful place and I know you’ll love it.

@HrHaakon Ай бұрын

The route is simpler than it seems on google maps. I wouldn't worry too much about walking there. However, let me just warn you that during tourist season, the funicular line gets long fast. I would recommend going there first, so you skip most of the lines. It can get quite insane there. Especially when a boat with 3000+ people disembark, and the funicular is sized to bring much less than that at a time.

Stunning! Means a lot you went to the fisherman's memorial. Here in Seattle, we have a great many fishermen and fewer women who hail from Norway. It's my understanding though that soon, many ships won't be allowed to sail to Norway. Is that something you've heard? Thanks for the beautiful video.

@peacefulminimalist2028 10 ай бұрын

They'll be allowed to sail to Norway, but not enter the fjords unless the ship is zero emission.
