Introduction

The Geirangerfjord is one of Norway's most celebrated and breathtaking fjords, a listed World Heritage site hailed as the jewel of the fjords. Along this deep, winding fjord rise almost vertical, snow-capped mountain cliffs over 1,000 meters high, and several famous waterfalls plunge from the clifftops. The deep, emerald-green fjord mirrors the snow peaks and drifting clouds — a majestic, soul-stirring beauty. On the cliffs perch abandoned mountain farms carved out by brave farmers of old, telling of the struggle between man and nature. A cruise through the Geirangerfjord, gazing up close at the plunging falls and snowy cliffs, is the finest way to appreciate this world-class natural wonder; its stirring grandeur is unforgettable for a lifetime, a pinnacle fjord experience in Norway.
