May 31 at 12:18 comment added Giacomo Catenazzi Try to contact the cruise line (guess what: there are many cruisers like you). I would consider Norway as main country (depending on the ship, it may be considered local transportation but for the southern legs, and if I guess, you are (potentially) off-shore more in Norway than in Germany (half a day on some costal cities/town and Northcape)
May 31 at 4:57 comment added Mark Johnson You might consider writing in the Main purpose(s) of the journey: other (please specify): field: Cruise tour that starts and ends in Germany (togeather with checking Tourism). This will make it clear why you chose Germany for the application.
May 31 at 4:42 comment added Priyanka The Consulates are only available through email, and have sent us some irrelevant, copy-pasted responses - repeatedly. VFS is kind of clueless. Having said that, the German Consulate website FAQs says that we should apply, pay the fee - and if they're not the competent authority to issue the Visa, they'll promptly send the application back, and refund the Visa fee. (We still might lose the VFS fee - but that's a chance we'll take at the moment.)

May 30 at 12:18 comment added Traveller What advice did the cruise line give when you asked them? I’d guess this situation occurs (very) frequently.

May 30 at 9:17 comment added Henrik supports the community The actual rule says you must apply to the country that is the main destination, and only lists duration as a fallback to determine that. Since the cruise mainly (only) visits places in Norway I would say that is the main destination.

May 30 at 7:59 comment added Traveller Does this answer your question? At which embassy should I apply for a Schengen visa when staying a few days in several countries?
