Gudvangen — cruise port guide
Use this Gudvangen cruise port guide to put the destination in context before choosing a luxury voyage. The original destination notes below can help you compare time ashore with the pace of a longer itinerary.
Plan your time ashore
For a visit to Gudvangen, check the current arrival and departure times, the actual berth or tender arrangements, and the distance between the port and the places you hope to see. Leave a comfortable margin for returning to the ship.
Solo travelers may prefer an organized excursion, independent exploring or a quieter day on board. Ask about excursion availability, walking distances, accessibility needs and local transport before making plans. Entry requirements and local conditions need current confirmation.

Awaiting Your Return From Shore |
Exploring Norway’s fjord region is a memorable experience for even the most seasoned traveler. Cutting deep into the mountainous land, craggy rock walls and overhanging cliffs characterize the scenic wonder of the fjords. Gudvangen lies at the head of the Naerøfjord, an offspring of the Sognefjord and Aurlandsfjord. Waterfalls line the steep mountainsides and goat farms lie scattered about the green valleys. At one time, this tiny spot was bustling with some 500 old-fashioned, one-horsepower "jaunting cars" which were used to carry people around the area, especially into the higher reaches. Surrounded by peaks as high as 5,000 feet, and reached by a roadway with 13 hairpin turns, Gudvangen is an important ferry point and a popular stopover for motorists. The usually mild climate encourages visitors to linger. While here, most travelers include a trip to the Stalheimfossen waterfall. The gushing waters plunge down more than 400 feet in one thundering spectacle. Jordalsnuten is another favorite site, known locally as "Norway’s Sugar Loaf." |
