Where is the Geiranger cruise port?

Geiranger has no conventional quay for large cruise ships. Stranda Port Authority runs three anchorage positions and the SeaWalk, a 236 m floating pier for one ship at a time that lets passengers walk straight ashore in the village centre; other ships tender to the tender piers next to the cruise terminal, about 100 m from the centre.

Tender traffic stops for 30–45 minutes while a ship is moved onto the SeaWalk. The nearest airport, Alesund, is about 2.5 hours away by road.
