Saga Ruby sailed in to Skjolden in thick morning mist, and for a long time we could only hear her. Still happy passengers met happy locals waving flags at the tender pier in Skjolden. The marching band from Luster was playing and after them some other locals took over playing folk music from the area. The mist finally lifted around eleven and showed a clear blue sky and the sun was shining.

Tuesday July 31 Fred Olsen's Braemar visited Skjolden. The weather was quite nice and all passengers seemed to enjoy the spectacular scenery and the small, idyllic village of Skjolden.

Saga Rose dropped anchor in Skjolden at 7 am Friday 15, and was too a part of the grand opening of the new Norwegian cruise destination Skjolden - Sognefjord. The sun was shining, and the locals greeted our new guests with flags, music and more.

MS Bremen was the very first cruise ship to call our new Norwegian cruise port, Skjolden. We were very pleased to welcome all the friendly and happy cruise tourists and crew members. 

MS Bremen and Saga Rose were the first two cruise vessels to call the new Norwegian cruise port, Skjolden - Sognefjord. They were heartily welcomed by the local community, including a marching band, the fire brigade spraying water, waving flags, local musicians playing the accordion etc.
