Norway Cruise in September

Posted by bostonphil7 (TX) on 06/01/26 02:51 AM

I have booked a cruise for September 2027 from Reykjavik to Southampton which incudes three ports in Norway.

We will be porting in Alesund, Maloy and Flam.

Wondering what the weather might be like. I have done some research and read that it will rain about 75% of the time and the temperature should be in the 40's and 50's.

For those who have been in any of these three ports in September, what was your experience when it came to the weather?

I lived in San Francisco many years back and it sounds like San Francisco weather, on a bad day.

We were supposed to port in Bergen but Bergen no longer allows large ships to port so Maloy has been substituted.

There is quite a bit of difference between temperatures in early September and late September when average temps drop several degrees. For example, the average daytime high in Alesund is 60 degrees on September 1, 56 degrees on September 15, and 54 degrees on September 30. The average rainfall during September is about 6 inches in Alesund.

While in Alesund three years ago at the very end of August the temps were in the 70’s, so averages for an entire month are not going to be predictive of what you will experience—especially in Norway where the weather can widely vary from hour to hour.
You might want to take a look at www.TimeandDate.com for detailed weather histories on your three ports.

It was a mix of San Francisco and Dublin but colder. Definitely windy.
I was there in mid-September 2024 in Bergen. Rainy on off most days and cold. Definitely mid 40s to mid 50s. I did a day trip and cruise in Flam. It was sunny and I would had been able to be without a coat except it was windy on ferry deck as we cruised. But warmer on the sun.

Thank you Kenko and Joy

I will be in Norway right around mid September, thinking about the 13th, 14th and 15th off the top of my head.

Maybe I will be lucky or maybe I'll be unlucky. But it sounds like it may not be too bad.
