Geirangerfjord Cruise Port

Report a mistake , geirangerfjord  cruise  port  .

In the webcam there is the port of Geiranger, one of the most visited cruise ports in Northern Europe, located at the foot of a small village in the south of Norway, in the province (fylke) of Møre og Romsdal.

In the live camera you can often see a liner standing in the roadstead with the pontoon pier SeaWalk Pier . If there are many ships in the bay, then passengers from the rest ones are transported to the tourist office and souvenir shop on tender boats. As a rule, a large vessel is placed next to the pontoon in the web camera. How many liners ply on a particular day, there is always the opportunity to observe in this online camera.

The village with the port in the live camera is located at the end of the most beautiful fjord in Norway, Geirangerfjorden, which was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005. There are amazingly beautiful landscapes and incomparable nature. Numerous waterfalls (Seven Sisters, Bridal Veil, Bridegroom, Storsæterfossen, Fossevandring and others) cascading down from the rocks have legends which you can listen during tours on an inflatable boat.

Geiranger Church is the main church of the village and the surrounding area.

Mostly, tourists arrive in Geiranger in the summer, when cruise ships moor in the port in the online camera. Bus and other excursions are organized for travelers. The tourist office is very conveniently located, right next to the terminal where tenders (motorboats) of cruise ships stop. At the height of the season, a huge number of tourists crowd around the tourist office.

The population of the village where the live broadcast comes from is about 300 people, but in the summer it increases many times due to visitors.

Geiranger, where the webcam is located, is famous for its picturesque views. It is included in the list of the best tourist locations according to the Lonely Planet portal.

To appreciate the beauty of the fjord in the vicinity of Geiranger in this online camera , there is three viewing platforms: Flydalsjuvet, on the Eagle Road (Ørnevegen) and on Mount Dalsnibba . A beautiful view of the bay in the web camera opens from the Vesterasfjellet site, even higher – Løsta.

In the village, shown online, there are many souvenir shops, cafes where you can drink a cup of coffee, enjoying the amazing view of the fjord and mountains immersed in the clouds. It is possible to sail on a reconstructed Viking boat under the Norwegian flag.

Traveling around Geiranger in a live broadcast, you will not be bored. Here you can: go boating and kayaking, go fishing and catch mackerel, cod, pollock and catfish (although fishing is possible throughout the year, we advise you to familiarize yourself with the rules of fishing and, if necessary, purchase a license), go hiking with amazing view whose final destinations tend to be former mountain farms, including abandoned ones.

The port's schedule lists all ships (in links) with cruises going to or leaving from Geiranger, Norway. To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Geiranger is a small port village and a cruise tourist destination in Sunnmore ((Norway's west coast). It is located in Stranda, at the head of Geirangerfjorden - a branch of the big Storfjorden. The nearest city is  Alesund (approx 110 km / 65 mi). The distance between Geiranger and the other tender port Hellesylt (Sunnylvsfjord) is approx 22 km (14 mi).

Geiranger has been named Scandinavia's best travel destination by Lonely Planet. Since 2005, the scenic area of Geirangerfjord has been listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. The waterfall Seven Sisters (height 250 m / 820 ft) is west of Geiranger. The Norwegian County Road 63 passes through this small village (population under 500).

The fjord Geiranger is under constant threat from Akerneset mountain that could erode into it. The collapse could generate a tsunami which could destroy this picturesque village.

Geiranger is a day in transit from Alesund , Flam or Bergen . The cruising season is early Spring through late Autumn. In 2015, the port was visited by cruise ships 179 times, with maiden calls from NCL Norwegian and Disney .

Most cruise ships to Geiranger are docked in the bay and their passengers are transported to the pier via the ship's tender boats. To handle the increasing cruise shipping traffic, the port installed an innovative floating pier in addition to the deepwater quay.

Since 2014, the new SeaWalk Pier (on the photo above) provides easier passenger disembarkation / embarkation without the need of tendering. It allows passengers to walk directly into the village. However, as the new pier allows docking of only 1 vessel, the other cruise ship's passengers will have to be tendered ashore. Aslo, as the SeaWalk Pier requires pre-renting by the cruise ship company, not all companies use its service.

To finance the floating pier project, the port introduced a mandatory docking fee. The decision was explained In an official statement, saying that ship docking is environmentally friendly because when docked the vessels have a lesser environmental impact in terms of discharges or bad emissions in comparison to vessels anchored in the fjord.

Cruisetours allow from Geiranger to be visited (via bus) the Dalsnibba Mountain, Trollstigen and also Alesund. From Vigra-Alesund Airport can be accessed domestic ports ( Bergen , Oslo , Stavanger , Trondheim , Kristiansund , Floro ) as well as Stockholm Sweden , Amsterdam Holland , Gdansk Poland , Kaunas Lithuania.

Geirangerfjord Cruise Port Guide | 7 Best Things To Do In Geiranger

Welcome to Geirangerfjord cruise port, a crown jewel of Norwegian fjords nestled in the Sunnmøre region in the western part of Norway. The spectacular Geiranger Fjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was named by Lonely Planet as the best travel destination in Scandinavia.

Located in the Stranda Municipality, Geirangerfjord is a branch of the Storfjorden (Great Fjord). Sailing into the fjord is an unforgettable sight that you cannot compare with any other! I visited this stunning place years ago and I still remember how amazing it was when we sailed in.

In this Geirangerfjord travel guide, I give you an overview of Geiranger cruise port along with 7 best things to do on a cruise to this breathtaking cruise destination.

Geirangerfjord Cruise Port

1. geiranger cruise terminal.

The port of Geirangerfjord is located in the small village of Geiranger, tucked between towering mountains and breathtaking scenery. A small Geiranger Cruise Terminal can accommodate one cruise ship at a time, however, the majority of large cruise ships tender and transfer cruise passengers to the pier via tender boats.

This cruise terminal is adjacent to Geiranger Ferry Terminal, from where you can embark on fjord cruises that depart approximately every hour. Geiranger Tourist Information is available on-site, providing visitors with useful information on things to do in the area, taxis, e-bike rentals, fjord cruise timetables, etc.

Right next to the pier is a large parking for tour buses ready to take you on shore excursions to stunning viewpoints, waterfalls, and other points of interest.

Geiranger Hop on Hop off sightseeing bus departs every hour from the Geiranger cruise ship terminal to the iconic Flydalsjuvet Viewpoint. The circuit takes about 50 minutes and includes four stops.

Within a short walk from the pier, you’ll also find a restaurant, a cafe, a hotel, a small museum, and a grocery store.

Public buses are available, but this option is not recommended to cruise passengers as they do not run frequently.

2. Hellesylt Cruise Terminal

Cruise ships may also dock in Hellesylt cruise port , another small port located in Geirangerfjord, around 20 km/12 miles west of Geiranger village (the journey between the two cruise ports takes 1 hour 30 minutes because one part of it includes a ferry ride).

Hellesylt features facilities such as a tourist information kiosk, a few souvenir shops, cafes, restaurants, and hotels/campsites. Public transportation, a church and a hospital are close to the pier.

Cruise ships may dock or tender. It often happens that only cruise passengers who booked shore excursions are allowed to get off the ship, only to join tour buses waiting to transfer them to the nearby attractions.

Other passengers continue to Geiranger port where the ship can stay longer. You will get this information from your cruise line beforehand.

7 Best Things To Do In Geirangerfjord Cruise Port

1. geirangerfjord sightseeing cruise.

While the Geirangerfjord is undoubtedly stunning from the land, experiencing it from the water offers a unique perspective that simply can’t be matched! Your cruise ship may be offering one, but there are also local tour operators offering fjord cruises.

These cruises usually depart from Geiranger dock and include a couple of hours sailing along the magnificent fjord, allowing you to admire the attractions and wildlife up close.

You will have the opportunity to admire the spectacular Seven Sisters Waterfall , the 410-meter (1,350 ft)-high waterfall that consists of seven separate streams that look absolutely breathtaking from the water!

Other scenic locations include the Brudesløret (Bridal Veil) and Friaren waterfalls , and Devil’s Crevice, a narrow and dramatic geological formation showcasing the forces of nature with its deep and steep fissure carved into the rugged landscape.

From the port, it’s often just a short walk to the designated pier where the sightseeing cruises depart. You can opt for a catamaran sightseeing cruise, a fjord safari on a high-speed RIB vessel, or a relaxing kayaking adventure.

If you prefer to explore independently, it’s possible to rent kayaks from local operators and embark on a self-guided paddling adventure. While this option requires a bit more planning and coordination, it offers the flexibility to customize your itinerary and explore at your own pace.

For those staying here for more days (or if you are staying overnight at port), full-day cruises to the famous Alesund located around 108 km/67 miles to the northwest are also available.

Explore Geiranger fjord cruises

2. The Seven Sisters Waterfall

The Seven Sisters Waterfall is a breathtaking natural spectacle nestled within a short driving distance from the port. The 410-meter (1,350 ft)-high waterfall consists of seven distinct cascades flowing down the steep mountainside, with an average free fall of around 250 meters (820 ft).

Legend has it that the “Seven Sisters” remained unmarried, while the waterfall on the opposite side of the fjord earned the name “The Suitor” due to numerous unsuccessful attempts to court the sisters.

From the port in Geiranger, it’s possible to reach the Seven Sisters Waterfall on a fjord cruise, but also by a combination of driving and hiking. Both cruise lines and independent tour operators offer organized excursions to the viewpoints from where you can admire the Seven Sisters Waterfall.

Built in the traditional Norwegian stave church style, the church originally dates from the 15th century and is surrounded by a small cemetery.

As you enter the Geiranger Church, you’ll be impressed by its rustic charm and stunning hilltop location overlooking breathtaking mountains and waterfalls. Keep in mind that the church may be closed sometimes, but both the exterior view of the church and its location make it worth coming!

7. Hiking Adventure

If you prefer a more adventurous and adrenaline-pumped holiday, a hiking trip will provide you with an ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in the pristine wilderness that surrounds the fjord.

Many guided hiking tours are available, led by knowledgeable local guides who can provide insight into the area’s flora, wildlife, and cultural history.

These tours typically depart from designated meeting points near the port and transport participants to the starting point of the hike. Alternatively, for those who prefer to explore independently, there are numerous hiking trails accessible from the village of Geiranger.

Cruise Port Guide Geiranger – Norway: tender port

When you visit Geiranger you are always tendering as there is no pier big enough for your ship. Since 2013 there is however the possibility of your ship to rent a floating pier, but as this will cost the ship a small fortune most ships will choose to tender. All tenders will arrive right in town in front of the souvenir shops and the tourist information centre.

The centre of town, if you can even call it a centre, is right there. You’ll find that the town exist out of supermarket, a couple of souvenir shops, a hotel, a camping, a chocolate shop and that is about it. Therefore staying in town is not really what we could recommend anybody.

Transportation

It is a small town so facilities are probably not what you are used to back home. Check out what options you have underneath:

Public bus system

There is a bus stop, but don’t count on any public transportation to be there and to be back on time as there might be a bus coming by once or twice a day.

Geiranger Taxis

There are taxis available through the tourist information point that you’ll find on the dock. Please know they are limited and so reservations or booking pre hand are advised. Also know it is about +/- 700 NOK (100 USD) per hour and therefore a lot more expensive than a bus tour.

Hop on hop off bus

There is a hop on hop off bus available in Geiranger. Forget about the usual concept of Hop on hop off busses though. If you buy a ticket it is valid for 1 ride. The bus takes you to the most visited and famous viewpoints where you’ll get about 15 minutes of free time. Order the tickets online or on the dock. The bus is not wheelchair accessible.

There are plenty of bus tours offered on the dock. The most impressive bus tour that is available in our opinion is the one that goes to Mt. Dalsnibba and to the Eagle’s bend. Know that often you can buy your tickets on the dock, but why not pre buy them online? Make sure to buy tickets for a time not to early in the morning as some cruise lines are not the easiest when it comes to letting off independent travellers. Order your tickets online through:  http://www.geirangerfjord.no/english

Make online arrangements

Other things you can arrange through the tourist information at the desk or on the link above is: taxi service, car rental, fjord safari, fjord sightseeing, kayak tours, fishing tours, bike rental, rib cruise etc.

FAQ about Geiranger

– How long is the tender ride? Depending on your position in the fjord between 2 and 10 minutes.

– Weather wise: should I take a tour in the morning or the afternoon? You never know in Geiranger. There can be 4 seasons in a day here. When you have a good sunny day the photo’s are better in the morning, when you have a bad day chances are it will clear up in the afternoon. You really cant tell, although if I would book for myself I would book the afternoon.

– How deep is the fjord? Rule of thumb is that the fjords are just as deep as the mountains are high.

– What does Geiranger mean? It means spear-shaped fjord in old Norwegian.

The approach to Geiranger is stunning. Geirangerfjord is renowned as the most beautiful in Norway. You will tendered to a pier downtown.

Geiranger and Hellesylt are tandem ports: At either one of the ports you will stop only for a few hours to tender passengers who book the overland tour to the other port, where your ship will stay longer. On occasion cruise ships also allow passengers to get off, just to stroll around for an hour or so.

The new SeaWalk pier which is now in operation, provides easy shore access and reduce time-consuming tender operations, allowing cruise passengers to walk directly from the ship to Geiranger town center. Normally when using tenderboats this used to be a three hour affair. Now in less than an hour all passengers can be ashore. The pier can handle only one ship, so tenders may be used. Renting the Seawalk pier is expensive for the cruise lines, so not all lines will use this service.

Sightseeing:

Geiranger is the highlight among Norway's fjord district's pearls of natural beauty. Majestic, snow-covered mountain peaks, beautiful and wild waterfalls, lush, green vegetation and the deep blue waters of the fjord - yes, it really is like something taken from a fairy tale.

Geiranger itself is not much of a village - a camping site, a few hotels, some attractive souvenir shops and some nice walks along the coast line.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

Hop on/off buses are available when cruise ships are in port. You will be able to enjoy a 80 minute tour, with Pre-recorded commentary in 8 different languages, so you can learn about Geiranger while enjoying all the different sights. You will also have 15 minutes photo stops at both viewpoints.

Geiranger and some of these other fjord port villages are very small, small. Unlike Bergen, Oslo, Copenhagen, etc., they don't have the wider range of transportation options, nor a handy variety of attractions right there. Mt. Dalsnibba (nearly a mile up) is a big, big distance from sea level and this tendering location. In this area, getting "up country" can be important to see a wider range of scenic beauty. Ship tours are not perfect, but they can get you "around" and solve many of your logistical needs. Things are not cheap in Norway, also, whether for private tours and/or by a ship excursion.

To do Mt.Dalsnibba on your own, you'd either need to book a private excursion (there are some listed at the tourist office ) or rent a car. The road will probably be open by early July, as it can be snowing well into June. It is also recommended to wait until the very day you're in Geiranger because if it's raining you won't see much anyway.

The public bus route runs 3 times per day from Geiranger to Dalsnibba in the period 21.06.-31.08. This is a beautiful bus tour with photo stops. The round trip Geiranger-Dalsnibba takes about 2 hours.

Walking instructions

If you want to see Geiranger from the finest view-points, you can drive up to Ørnesvingen, Flydalsjuvet or Dalsnibba (toll road). Or you can walk up to Vesteråsfjellet or Skageflå.

The Tourist Office offers a wide variety of tours and rentals.

As the weather in Norway can be very unpredictable, make sure to check the cancellation policies in case of inclement weather. It is no fun doing an excursion in the clouds.

Taxis are few and very expensive (about 100 Euro an hour).

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .
