Hello, my family has decided we would like to do a weeklong northern European cruise after a week in France for our next vacation. I own the Rick Steves cruise ports book, but he doesn’t cover either of these ports in his book, so I was curious if anyone has been to either of them and if so, any recommended things to do? Thanks!

I was in Kristiansand last August and walked the promenade and really enjoyed it. I also liked the main town center area - I stayed right across from the old church and enjoyed the fountains, watching people, and walking the pedestrian only streets (where there is also shopping). Also, a colleague took me to the Fiskebrygga - which is a renovated old fish market area. There are restaurants there and sometimes musicians playing where you can sit outside. I think that is maybe close to where the cruise ships drop off people! It is a very pleasant town to visit, in my opinion.
