When to go on a
Fjords of Norway cruise

Points to consider:

Mid-May to mid-September
The prime Fjords of Norway cruise season.

Mid-June through August
The warmest period.

Early May and late September
Temperatures are typically chilly. This could make it uncomfortable to sightsee from your cruise ship's open deck. And even a light misty rain would make matters worse.

May
Blooming wildflowers and blossoming fruit trees attractively adorn the landscape.

Solstice
The weeks immediately before and after the summer solstice (June 21) have exceptionally long daylight hours for sightseeing.
