A great way to see the Norwegian fjords is by cruise ship! We booked a Holland America 7-day cruise out of Rotterdam to explore the fjords. Our first stop was in Eidenfjord.
Hardangerfjorden stretches 112 miles from the island of Bomlo in the North Sea to Odda. The main fjord extends the tip of the Folgefonn peninsula where it forks into a number of tributaries, with Eidfjord being one of the three largest.
We headed out to the gorgeously scenic Voringsfossen
The waterfall plunges 476 feet!
I spy with my little eye..... a rainbow!
Make that a double rainbow! 🌈🌈
Then we hopped back on the ship to cruise all around Hardangerfjord.
Making our way under the Hardangerfjord bridge..... it doesn't look like we're going to make it 😬
Phew, we made it!
A view from the other side of Hardanger Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Norway which spans the Hardangerfjord.
Verdict: There are several fjords listed in the 1000 places book and I don't necessarily think you need to see every single one of them before you die, but visiting the Norwegian fjords is an absolute must! So make your way to Scandanavia in the summer months and put the Norwegian fjords on your bucket list!
