My answer to your question in another topic. GetYourGuide is an online marketplace where you can book tours around the world. GetYourGuide acts as an intermediary, working with local tour operators and quality can therefore vary depending on the local guide/operator. Find local operators and book directly with them.

Which ports of excursions?

You should also look at the total travel time - there can be a long wait at stopovers.

Great itinerary. Yes, the Norwegian fjords are breathtaking - Geiranger and Bergen are my favorite ports in Norway.

Then you missed this passage

Hi Johanna. Very interesting - yes, an almost identical picture. Same day, almost the same time, and maybe even from the same location - the bridge wing on Anthem on June 25, 2024.

Yes, it's the same fjord and the same landscape when you sail out in the evening - often it's the first hour after leaving the port that's the most interesting. But admittedly - there aren't very many people on deck early in the morning. However, I think the landscape is most beautiful at sunrise - it can also be breathtaking at sunset - but then you've mostly come out of the fjord. Enjoy Norway - which fjords?

@Traveling4Annie I don’t know where you’re from or how you plan to enter the Schengen Area on July 26, but I assume you are flying to Europe. Be prepared that your problems may begin even before you leave your home country, as the airline has carrier liability and will check your return ticket and intended length of stay at boarding when traveling to the Schengen Area. Airlines and ferry companies are required under EU regulations to verify travel documentation (passport, visa, return ticket, etc.) because they can be financially penalized if they transport a passenger who is denied entry into the Schengen Area. They might check whether your passport is valid for at least 3 months beyond your planned departure from the Schengen Area. They may ask you to show a return or onward ticket proving that you will leave the Schengen Area within 90 days. They may also ask about the duration and purpose of your stay.

Madeira is the last Schengen port. On a transatlantic cruise from Genoa (Italy), with a stop in Madeira (Portugal), the Schengen EES (Entry/Exit System) will typically be activated at the last Schengen port where the ship leaves the Schengen area. In this case, it is Madeira (Portugal). Days after Madeira do not count towards the 90 days you are allowed to stay in Schengen.

ITA Airways allows one piece of hand luggage, weighing no more than 8 kg (17.6 lbs), and with maximum dimensions of 55cm x 35cm x 25cm (including handles and wheels). In addition to the main hand luggage, passengers can also bring one personal item like a handbag, laptop bag, or backpack (under seat).

You’re welcome- I just wonder why Princess has included a picture of Northern Lights for a solstice cruise - anyway, I hope for clear skies so you can enjoy midnight Sun. Remember to be at upper deck 1 to 2 hours prior to arrival into Olden and Skjolden and enjoy the deep fjord sailings.

I would also say that Princess has the best itinerary. Includes two deep fjords to Skjolden and Olden as well as the coastal city of Stavanger. Honningsvåg (North Cape), Tromsø and Trondheim are included in both cruises. HAL has very small ports of call such as Måløy and Eidfjord. Leknes is also a small port on the Lofoten islands.

There is also a problem if the water level in the river is too high - then the ships cannot pass under the bridges - an equally big problem as low water leves.

This is a Lysefjord tour I did with Rødne last year from Stavanger
