Cruise Destination Olden - Nordfjord
Olden is a small pleasant village at the inner end of Nordfjord. The scenery at the head of the fjord is astonishingly beautiful and varied, the peaceful valleys and well-kept farms contrasting strongly to the gleaming glaciers, foaming waterfalls, and towering mountains. Olden is the gateway to the glaciers, situated at the edge of the Jostedal Glacier, the biggest glacier on the European mainland. A tour to its most well known glacier arm, Briksdal, is highly recommended. The Olden/Stryn community is active and lively with a blooming trade and business, long known for tourism and various industries, and now also famous for modern design.
Olden is the main cruise destination in Nordfjord, but cruise vessels are also most welcome in all Nordfjord ports; Måløy, Selje, Nordfjordeid and Sandane, all with a range of interesting attractions and excursions.
