Alesund is a pretty port, largely destroyed by a fire in 1904 and rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style. Our call here was a brief one but gave us time to explore the architecture and the setting. The viewpoint over the town takes 418 steps but gives a great view. We could contrast our great ship with its giant relative, one of the Costas.
