Cruise passenger tips
- Atlantic Ocean Road tours are road based, weather can affect visibility.
- Molde panorama from the town viewpoint is a compact alternative on shorter calls.
- Confirm excursion duration includes return buffer to the pier.
Atlantic Ocean Road excursions need half a day. Town viewpoints suit shorter calls.
