Here are a few travel phrases in Norwegian that you can use while on a cruise in the Caribbean or Northern Europe.

I learned a little Norwegian and Danish many years ago while I was in the navy and lately I’ve met quite a few Scandinavians on cruises in the Caribbean. Over the last 3 years I’ve been practicing Norwegian, Danish, and Swedish.

I'll be adding more phrases and expressions as time goes on. Norwegian is fairly easy to pronounce and the grammar is very close to English but there are a few nuances and I am planning on adding the phonetic pronunciation in the near future.
