Sailing in the Geiranger Fjord in Norway

Navigando nel fiordo di Geiranger in Norvegia

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.

Costa Diadema in the Geirangerfjord

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.

Departure from Geiranger from the Costa Firenze.
Surely one of the most unforgettable stretches of sea in the world is when the ship leaves from the small town of Geiranger and, traveling along the famous Geirangerfiord, passes between the two famous waterfalls (the Seven Sisters and the Pretender).
In this photo, taken from the stern of the former Costa Firenze, all the colors of Northern Europe.

Some waterfalls admired in the Geirangerfjord

Alcune cascate ammirate navigando attraverso il Geirangerfjord

Some waterfalls seen while sailing through the Geirangerfjord.
Last year I sailed, a couple of months, taking cruises in the Norwegian fjords. Perhaps the most famous is Geiranger and its waterfalls.
The Geirangerfjord is a fjord located in the western region of Norway, famous for its breathtaking beauty and spectacular natural landscape. It was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2005, recognizing its ecological and landscape importance.

Here are some of the distinctive features of the Geirangerfjord:
1. Incredible Landscape: The Geirangerfjord is surrounded by steep mountains, cliffs and towering peaks that rise vertically from the waters of the fjord. This landscape creates an extraordinary visual spectacle, with spectacular waterfalls, green valleys and small villages dotting the coastline.
2. Seven Sisters and Bride's Veil: The Seven Sisters and Bride's Veil are some of the most famous waterfalls in the Geirangerfjord. The Seven Sisters are seven separate waterfalls that cascade down the mountains and the Bride's Veil is a thin waterfall that looks like a veil hanging along a rock face.
3. Fjord Cruises: One of the best ways to explore the Geirangerfjord is through boat cruises that offer a unique perspective of its spectacular rock formations and waterfalls. During the cruise, visitors can enjoy panoramic views and discover the rich flora and fauna of the region.
4. Dalsnibba: The Dalsnibba viewpoint offers a breathtaking view of the Geirangerfjord and the surrounding mountains. Situated at an altitude of around 1,500 metres, this viewpoint allows visitors to admire the full beauty of the fjord.
5. Outdoor activities: The region around the Geirangerfjord offers numerous opportunities for outdoor activities, such as hiking, mountain walking and kayaking. Nature lovers can explore the trails that lead to spectacular panoramic views and enjoy an immersive experience of Norwegian nature.
6. UNESCO World Heritage: In 2005, the Geirangerfjord was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list, recognising its ecological importance and unique value as one of the most spectacular fjords in the world.

In short, the Geirangerfjord is a Norwegian treasure, a gem of natural beauty that attracts visitors from all over the world for its majesty and magical atmosphere.

Seven brides for one suitor. From the walls of the Geirangerfjord, one of the most spectacular fjords in Norway, many waterfalls descend that bring water from the glaciers. The most spectacular is certainly the Seven Sisters Waterfall, divided, just as the name suggests, into seven water slides on the rock.
