Photo of two cruise ships sailing the Norwegian coast

Cruise ships are a very common sight here in northern Norway, during the summer. Often you can see several cruise liners in the horizon.

I really liked the clouds on this photo. Can’t be too bad being a tourist on that ship with a scenery like that.

Liked the contrast between the two ships on this picture. They are both filled with tourists, but I think I would prefer to be in the small boat.
Recent years there has been an increasing number of fishing tourists coming here from Germany, Finland and Sweden. Hope they do not catch all my fish 😉

Went for a walk a up in the mountains and this is the view I got when I turned around. It was very steep so had a hard time standing and photographing.
The fjord is called “VÃ¥gsfjorden”. The mountain is called “Drangen” and is 1022 meters above the fjord.
