Considering A Late Deal On A Cruise To Norway

Before booking just wondering what sea conditions to expect also daylight hours and temperatures in ports of call. Would be travelling late October. Thanks

The sea conditions will be OK. Especially if you're going with a big liner. The bigger the boat the less it will be affected. It will be similar to UK but a hr different. Maybe a tad more windy.

Norway's a very big (or, more accurately, very long) country, with big differences in weather between the south and the north.

In Kristiansand, at the southern end of Norway, sunrise will be around 7.40am and sunset around 4.40pm at the end of October. Temperatures are expected to peak at around 12C during the day and drop to around 8C overnight.

In Tromso, in the north of Norway, sunrise will be at around 7.55am, with sunset at around 3.00pm. Temperatures are expected to peak at around 4C during the day, falling to around -3C overnight.
