NORWAY

In my view, Norway is one of the best countries to visit on a cruise. Not only do you get to experience the fjords up close and personal but this also insulates you from the country’s notoriously high travel costs.

One of my favourite cruises was along the Norwegian Fjords, visiting wonderful destinations like Stavanger, Bergen and Ålesund. The scenery has to be seen to be believed.
