Geirangerfjord, Norway

Enquire about cruises in this region

The Geirangerfjord is located in the western part of Norway in the region called Sunnmøre in the municipality of Stranda. It is one of the region's smallest fjords, but also one of its most breathtaking. A convoluted branch of the Storfjord, it cuts well inland with a tiny village at either end of the fjord. In 2005, the Geirangerfjord was listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site.

Impressive waterfalls cast cascades of thundering water from almost vertical mountainsides among them the famous falls, De syv søstrene (the Seven Sisters), Friaren (the Suitor) and Brudesløret (the Bridal Veil).
