Cruise passenger tips

Port calls here are often on smaller or expedition-style ships.
RIB tours require minimum age and fitness, check operator rules.
The setting itself is the attraction, even short walks from the pier are scenic.

Tiny port at Sognefjord's inner end. RIB tours and unusual experiences dominate over classic coach touring.
