Cruise passenger tips
- Book popular Stegastein departures early on busy ship days.
- The Flåm Railway is spectacular but time consuming, confirm return times before booking.
- Walk from the pier to excursion meeting points; no taxi needed in the village centre.
- Allow 45 minutes before all aboard for gangway queues on peak days.
Compact port with tours close to the pier. Stegastein and short fjord cruises suit most call lengths.
