After disembarking
Cruise ships dock at Geiranger cruise terminals. Explore on foot directly from the pier.
- 2 cruise terminals
The assigned dock is one of Geiranger SeaWalk, Geiranger Tender Jetty and varies by sailing.
- Prepare for Temperature Differences at the 1,500-Meter-High Viewpoint
Even when the port village has mild summer weather, snow may remain at the summit of Dalsnibba Skywalk, 1,500 m above sea level, and temperatures can fall close to freezing. Bring a windproof jacket and warm layers.
- Arrange Viewpoint Bus and Transport in Advance
You can get around Geiranger village on foot, but major mountain viewpoints such as Dalsnibba, Flydalsjuvet, and those along the Eagle Road are reached via steep roads. It is safer to secure a panorama bus or hop-on hop-off bus tour in advance.

About Geiranger
The Geirangerfjord, which made the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, is Norway's most spectacular and perhaps best-known fjord. The 16-km-long (10-mile-long), 960-foot-deep Geirangerfjord's most stunning attractions are its roaring waterfalls—the Seven Sisters, the Bridal Veil, and the Suitor. Perched on mountain ledges along the fjord, deserted farms at Skageflå and Knivsflå are being restored and maintained by local enthusiasts.The village of Geiranger, at the end of the fjord, is home to fewer than 300 year-round residents, but in spring and summer its population swells to 5,000 due to visitors traveling from Hellesylt to the east. In winter, snow on the mountain roads often makes the village isolated.
