Lillesand, Norway - Scandinavian Port of Call

Picturesque Norwegian Seaside Village of Lillesand, Norway

The picturesque Norwegian seaside village of Lillesand, Norway was a charming port of call on our Scaninavia and Baltic voyage on the Silversea Silver Cloud.

The Silver Cloud sailed the 138 miles from Aalborg to Lillesand, Norway, arriving in the early morning. The small seaside town of Lillesand was reminiscent of a New England village, with white wooden houses and a beautiful harbor. Lillesand was definitely a summer holiday town, with lots of vacationers.

Many of the Silver Cloud passengers opted for a day bus trip to nearby Kristiansand or a Norwegian coastal boat ride.

We walked the short distance into town and enjoyed the lovely day. Everyone seemed to be browsing in the small shops, eating ice cream, or sitting on the grassy beach. Lillesand was anoher small village that passengers on large ships would miss seeing. Everyone I spoke with thought it was a delightful port of call.

Next we were off to Oslo, our second Scandinavian capital city.
