About Åndalsnes
Åndalsnes, known as the “mountain capital” in the heart of Romsdalen, is a true nature destination. The town sits where the Romsdalsfjord meets the Rauma River, surrounded by some of Norway’s most spectacular mountain formations.
With the Romsdal Gondola, a new attraction that carries visitors from the fjord to the top of Nesaksla, Åndalsnes is an ideal starting point for both relaxing and adrenaline-filled adventures, such as the Trollstigen mountain road and the Romsdalsstigen via ferrata.
Despite its small size, Åndalsnes is a hub for active holidays and outdoor experiences, making it an exciting destination for passengers seeking an authentic experience beyond Norway’s larger cities.

This provides cruise lines with a direct motivation to adopt cleaner technology.
