The best way to experience Norway is on a Fjord Cruise. Fjords are long and narrow inlets with steep sides created in a valley carved by Glacial activity. Western Norway abounds with Fjords and is a very popular destination among Cruise Ships. Celebrity Cruises runs several cruise liners and MV Century being one of them which does the Norwegian Fjords route. The cruise originates from Amsterdam harbor and takes you through 4 ports. The first halt is at Olden, the gateway to some of the oldest and largest glaciers in Europe. Flam is the next destination where the sheer mountain walls climb twice as high as the 1500 feet width of the fjords, creating an almost permanent shade. The third port is situated at the mouth of the Storfjord. Alesund is one of the most important fishing harbors in Norway. Bergen is the last port of call. Surrounded by 7 mountains and several fjords, it is Norway’s second largest city.
