WELCOME TO DESTINATION GEIRANGERFJORD –
TROLLSTIGEN AND GEIRANGERFJORD CRUISE PORT
We wish you a warm welcome to the destination. This folder presents the opportunities in the region and some
useful information.
Geirangerfjord Cruise port consists of the following ports: Geiranger – Hellesylt – Stranda.
Geirangerfjord – rated as the best cared for Unesco World Heritage Site by National Geographic Traveler november
2006. Quote: “To float into the Geirangerfjord is an astonishingly complete natural experience—steep, lush and
rocky canyon walls, endless waterfalls, a snow-capped backdrop and inconceivably deep, emerald green water. The
scenery is the main attraction of the area, and can best be seen on an excursion.
NEWS !
In order for the destination to be a good host and deliver good services, new cruise quay’s at Stranda and
Hellesylt are planned and will be operative from the season 2010. This will be a new feature for the cruise
industry in a world known area and will be a supplement to the already existing land based activities in
Geiranger and Hellesylt. In the future we will focus on the flexible use of the facilities in our area. There will
be three places for disembarkment
instead of two, and special care will be taken to preserve the environment around the Geirangerfjord.
We look foreward to continue the exellent collaboration with the cruise industry.
