Which side of cruise ship is best for Norwegian fjords?


Which side of cruise ship is best for Norwegian fjords? It really doesn't matter! When you enter a fjord, the only way out is to go back again. The Norwegian Fjords are beautiful, but you'll see the scenery no matter which side of the ship you're on, the only difference is in whether you see it in the morning when you arrive, or in the evening when you're sailing out.


Which side of the ship is better port or starboard?

Eastbound cruises get the most sun on the port side; westbound on the starboard side. Watching a sunset over the ocean or seeing the sun slip behind distant islands can also be a reason for a side preference. To catch sunsets, you'll want to be on the port side on northbound cruises and starboard on southbound cruises.

Is it better to be in the front or back of a cruise ship?

The back of the ship tends to be considered the next best cabin position after midships. Whilst the front of the ship gets the most movement the back also does get some. Whilst it's nowhere near as bad as the front of the ship, you may still notice some movement in rough seas.


Which deck is best on a cruise ship?

Midship staterooms on the lowest passenger deck are the most excellent spot to be on a cruise ship in this instance because you don't feel the vessel sway as much.
