Norwegian Fjords
We used Holland America to cruise the Fjords, the only rough weather we ran into was at the North Cape, rain and strong wind. The ship handled the storm well and we did not notice anyone with motion sickness. You can purchase over the counter medicine for motion sickness. As info, we were on another cruise where the weather was so bad the crew members were even sick and the ships doctor was making the rounds giving them shots and meds. We had a shot and given meds and we were fine within minutes after given the shot.

My husband and I also did the fjords on Holland America. I don't remember any issues with rough seas. And a fair amount of sailing is up and down the fjords which are typically very calm.
