Olden, Norway

Additional Information:

Class: Fjord Village
Activities: If evaluating cruise destinations is like exploring a majestic castle, Olden is the grand staircase to the highest tower. You don't linger on the staircase itself (the small village, scoring a 2 for "City"), but it is the essential, breathtaking pathway you must take to reach the absolute pinnacle views (the Briksdal Glacier and the top of the Loen Skylift). It is a purely nature-driven, high-adventure stop. Spectacular outdoor excursions, most notably hiking or taking "Troll Cars" up to the Briksdal Glacier, riding the incredibly steep Loen Skylift to the top of Mount Hoven, or kayaking the serene, glacier-fed Oldevatnet lake.
