Arrival, terminals and getting into town
Confirm the actual berth first—local access can change substantially between terminals.
Where your ship arrives
Confirm SeaWalk versus tender or other arrangement and the final boarding time before leaving the landing area.
Getting into town
Eidsgata and Sagastad are local; Briksdal, Loen, and overland Geiranger plans require protected coach time.
