Then, stop at a moraine, the debris left by a glacial drift, before arriving at a small lake dotted with icebergs.

Discover the mighty and magical Geirangerfjord — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. An MSC Cruises excursion will see you travelling from the port of Hellesylt through the Stryn peaks, where you’ll pass waterfalls and lakes.

Choose an MSC Cruises excursion to the largest wilderness park in Southern Norway, the Jostedalsbreen National Park. This gorgeous area boasts a haven of habitats including green valleys, rugged mountains, and awe-inspiring glaciers. The small village of Olden, at the head of the Jostedalsbreen fjord, serves as an ideal starting point for adventuring around the lake. There, you’ll stroll among the beautiful landscapes of the valley leading to the breathtaking Briksdal Glacier.
