Big Ship Cruising in Norway: What to Expect on MSC Cruises in the Norwegian Fjords

Cruising in the Norwegian fjords has never been more popular. But Norway is divided about the economic benefits versus the environmental and social impact of cruise ships.
So, I decided to check out big ship cruising in Norway to see for myself what it’s all about from the perspective of the passengers.
This is the story of my trip on MSC Euribia in the Norwegian Fjords, including visits to the cruise ports of Ålesund, Nordfjordeid, and Flåm.

I like MSC's smaller ship the most.

Enjoy your summer, David! Thank you for uploading videos. I like your podcasts a lot

[@lifeinnorway1]

Thanks so much! There’ll be videos published throughout the summer, although the podcast is taking a break 😁 Thanks as always for watching 🙌

Love it David, it looks like you had a great time, your videos are getting better and better mate 👍 I look forward to seeing your next installments 😊

[@lifeinnorway1]

Thank you so much! Longer videos from Flåm and Nordfjordeid to come, amongst others 😁 I hope you’re both well, and thanks for watching as always 🙌

Thanks, very helpful

No worries, I hope it helps in planning your own trip. Thanks for watching! 🙌

Thanks, David. We did go on the Hurtigruten from Bødo to Svolvær and that was sufficient for us. We really don't agree that so many of the bigger cruise ships are allowed down the fjords, but how else will so many get to see them when alternate means of travel may not have the capacity?

Great video, I am a tour operator and we have never done a cruise before and thought you gave a really good persepctive. I am leaning towards smaller ships now, thanks for the great upload! What month did you prefer to go on these cruises? thanks!

[@artistinlederhosen]

in contemplating a norwegian cruise, coming from the u.s., i have found your videos to be a great source of information. and i like your calm demeanor. one thing i learned from watching this video is that i am very much leaning towards havila. i am definitely not the floating holiday camp sort of person. at. all. yikes!

[@lifeinnorway1]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comments! I loved both the MSC and Havila trips, and yes they are very much for different kinds of people I'd say. Have a great trip!

One of the pizzas you showed had a grey base?.....do you know what it was made of??

[@lifeinnorway1]

It’s called a charcoal base pizza, how it’s made I’m not sure exactly but it is fantastic 😋

[@NLMusique]

Great video, but I have one or two questions. We are thinking of booking this for end of September. Have you been to the port of Hellesylt? If you have, what sightseeing excursion would you recommend? The other 2 ports it will stop at are Alesund and flám. Thank you

[@cherifurr3935]

Why does Norway allow these huge ships???

[@Ado_Bielo]

I think their policy for cruise ships is changing very soon by limiting the number of ships and possibly allowing zero emission vessels only. We went to Flåm by train in the wintertime and took the smaller ferry to the fjord, then a snowshoe tour the following day. It was quiet, quaint, no crowds & very beautiful (& cold).. 😊
