Molde Shore Excursions
Excursions in Molde
Molde is known as the City of Roses, but its real draw for cruise visitors is the Atlantic Road — a ribbon of bridges leaping across the open ocean between islets. The Varden viewpoint above town offers a panorama of 222 mountain peaks on a clear day, making it one of Norway's great free excursions.
Fjord Sightseeing Cruise
A fjord cruise from Molde takes you through the Romsdalsfjord, past lush green islands and beneath some of western Norway's most impressive mountain walls. The Romsdal Alps form a dramatic backdrop, and the boat often stops at small communities that are otherwise inaccessible by road.
💡 Insider tip
Bring binoculars for spotting seabirds and the occasional seal on rocky islets. The Romsdal Alps are best viewed from the starboard side heading out of the fjord.
