Ports of Call
Cruise from Southampton
- Haugesund: Harbour town with Viking-era echoes and easy waterfront walks. Visit Haraldshaugen monument or take a short boat hop among skerries. Cafés line Smedasundet for a simple pause. A calm start before the deeper fjords.
- Olden: Quiet village framed by high slopes and green water. Briksdal Glacier and the Loen Skylift offer breathtaking views with straightforward logistics. Lake cruises on Lovatnet are gentle and close to the pier. It’s an easy day with clear options.
- Stavanger (Norway): Old clapboard streets sit beside a modern harbour. The Petroleum Museum adds context; Lysefjord boat trips bring cliff drama. Compact galleries and cafés make the centre walkable. Fjord and city sit side by side.
- Kristiansand (Norway): Southern seaside city with tidy grids and wooden houses. Stroll Posebyen and the fish market, or follow the boardwalk to Bystranda. Short trails reach small viewpoints near town. A relaxed finish to the Norway run.
