It’s not that Kristiansund isn’t beautiful — it really is. The waterfront, the colorful houses, the calm waters… they all paint a postcard-perfect scene. But for some reason, I’ve never found the motivation to step off the gangway.
I do have countless photos, though. The funny part? Every single one looks exactly like the others — same angle, same framing, same everything. And there’s a perfectly good explanation for that: the ship always docks at the exact same spot, Storkaia Quay 7.
And here’s the truth: Kristiansund only has one berth for cruise ships. So, every visit, without fail, we get the same front-row view — no variation, no surprises.
NEXT STOP: Tomorrow, we’ll be in Åndalsnes, another beautiful port. The day after that, Olden — of course, a scenic one. Then comes Skjolden, as always, a stunning spot. Let’s see if I’ll have the motivation to share a blog update for those visits. All I know is, I’ll probably be taking photos from the exact same angles there too. 🙂

Kristiansund, Norway
Some crew head out to explore, chase new coffee spots, or snap fresh photos from land. Me? I’m happy to admire the scenery from my familiar vantage point on deck. I guess this is my little tradition now — same ship, same quay, same picture… just another day in port.
