Sailing in the Geiranger Fjord in Norway. My job has taken me sailing in the Norwegian fjords aboard the Costa Crociere ships for two consecutive summers. What a spectacle it is to cross the mountains on a ship! These three shots are from two years ago while I was aboard the former Costa Firenze.

The Geirangerfjord (Geirangerfjorden) is a fjord in the Norwegian region of Sunnmøre in the south of the county of Møre og Romsdal. It is a branch of the much larger Storfjorden and within it is the famous village of Geiranger. The fjord is one of the most visited natural sites in Norway and since 2005 it is included, together with the Nærøyfjord, in the List of World Heritage Sites drawn up by UNESCO. The presence of these two fjords in the list is however threatened by a plan to build some power lines through the fjord. Continue and learn more on Wikipedia

The Costa Diadema in the Geiranger fjord. Until a few months ago I was on board the Costa Diadema (of Costa Crociere) doing fjord cruises. Among the most beautiful cruises there could be (not in the heat). In these two images the ship was "parked" in front of the town of Geiranger which is located right at the end of the fjord of the same name, the one famous for the Seven Sisters and Pretender waterfalls.

Red houses in Flam Bay in Norway. One of the small villages that you often come across on a cruise in Norway is Flam, which is at the end of the fjord called Aurlandsfjord. There is not much to see, here nature is the master. These four houses, perhaps once belonging to local fishermen, frame the very touristy port that welcomes the gigantic cruise ships.

Flåm is a Norwegian village of about 500 inhabitants, at the end of the Aurlandsfjord, a branch of the Sognefjord. The village is located in the municipality of Aurland, in the county of Vestland, Norway. It is touched by the European route E16. The valley of Flåm was formed by the thick layer of ice that remained in this area for millions of years: the erosion of the glacier made the land sink, creating the deep and wide valleys that attract a large number of tourists every year.

Alcune cascate che si ammirano nel Geirangerfjord in Norvegia. Erano diversi anni che non percorrevo i fiordi a bordo di una nave e devo dire che è sempre una esperienza magica. La scorsa stagione estiva infatti ero a bordo della Costa Firenze (di Costa Crociere) e per un mesetto sono riuscito a godermi il passaggio in uno dei fiordi più affascinanti: il Geirangerfjord. Queste sono solo alcune delle mastodontiche cascate che dall’alto del fiordo cadono nel freddo mare norvegese.

Scorcio di Kotor. La cittadina montenegrina di Kotor (in teoria Cattaro in italiano) e’ una meta turistica amata dai croceristi perche’ per arrivarvi si attraversa uno splendido fiordo (credo il piu’ grande del Mediterraneo). Una città e uno stato, il Montenegro, ancora da scoprire per molti viaggiatori. Una cittadina tutta da scoprire e, se ci fate caso, sembra di essere in Europa continentale (in Svizzera o in Austria) piuttosto che in ex Jugoslavia. Nella foto un piccolo porticciolo con chiesa.
La città si specchia nelle Bocche di Cattaro, un’articolata serie di profondi bacini perfettamente riparati dal mare aperto, che costituiscono il più grande porto naturale del mar Adriatico e ricordano vagamente, per la loro forma frastagliata, i fiordi norvegesi. Le Bocche di Cattaro, assieme a Cattaro stessa, garantiscono alla regione un afflusso turistico in costante aumento. Continue on Wikipedia.
