I did a cruise to Norway in August and the scenery and ports were spectacular (the cruise line itself - Costa - not so much). The cruise left from Copenhagen (also a wonderful city) and went to Geiranger, Bergen and Kristiansand, Norway then over to Aarhus, Demark and onto Rostock, Germany. I took the cruise in order to see lots of places in a short amount of time, and not really for the "cruising" experience. All of the ports visited were interesting and there was lots to see and do. I did find things in Norway to be rather expensive ($20 for a small beer....yikes), but I really did not care because I could go back on the ship to eat.
