Frequently asked questions
Your search for ""
What is a definite departure?
A departure is shown as 'Definite Departure' once it has reached a minimum number of guests. That particular departure will definitely run, barring any extraordinary circumstances. We update these regularly, and you can book any departure. While it is highly unlikely a departure doesn't meet the minimum number of guests, you will be offered the best alternative dates or a full refund of any payment made if this is the case. If there are ever any changes to your departure, we will contact you.
How can I book flights for my tour? What about extra hotel nights?
You can add flights and extra hotel nights directly through Trafalgar, so that everything is taken care of, leaving you to relax and enjoy your tour. If you're booking online, once you've selected your travel dates and room type, you'll be offered an option to add extra hotel nights and flights. Alternatively, you can call us to book and one of our travel experts can advise on your options.
How much is the deposit for a Trafalgar tour?
On most of our departures, you can secure your trip today with a low deposit from just $200.
What are the different kinds of experiences available?
Each Trafalgar tour has a carefully-selected range of included experiences to help immerse yourself in a destination. But did you know that every tour also has a Be My Guest and MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience? Be My Guest Experiences are the original local travel experience, letting you step into the lives of hosts who will share stories about their families and communities. MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experiences are conscious travel experiences that give back to the local communities, which support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Our tours also include a selection of Optional Experiences which are available for an additional cost, allowing you to make your trip your own.
Can I join a Trafalgar tour as a solo traveller?

On the face of it, Scandinavia isn’t a very sensible place for a holiday . For one thing, it’s almost always going to be colder than the place you’re leaving behind. And when it comes to basics like food and accommodation, it’s probably more expensive too.
1. Gothenburg and the west coast, Sweden
2. skagen, denmark, 3. bergen and the fjords, norway, 4. stockholm, sweden, 5. lapland, norway & sweden, 6. copenhagen, denmark, 7. österlen, sweden.
But if you don’t mind throwing a few warm jumpers in your backpack and paying a little extra for meals out – and honestly, it’s not that bad – you’ll be rewarded handsomely. Scandinavia is home to some of Western Europe’s wildest sights, from shimmering blue lakes and clattering herds of reindeer to snow-laden forests that look like they’ve been imported straight from Narnia.
It isn’t all fjords and pine trees, though; there are fairytale castles, Viking treasures and gritty, pretty cities that nurture some of the world’s most exciting art and design scenes. Then there’s that green, egalitarian approach to life that will leave you thinking that – somehow – Scandinavia just works.
Ready to take the plunge? Here are 7 ideas for short breaks in Scandinavia.
In the space of a couple of decades, Sweden ’s second biggest city has reinvented itself as one of Europe’s coolest city break destinations . It’s still a big industrial hub with a busy port at its heart, but the focus is increasingly on tourism. Why should you go? For the super-fresh seafood, for the locally brewed beer and laidback bars, and for the car-free islands that lie just offshore, where you can swim in cool, clear waters.

Set on a narrow spit of land with breezy beaches on both sides, Skagen is Denmark ’s northernmost town – and one of its prettiest, too, with mustard-yellow houses lining the streets. Since the Nordic Impressionists arrived here more than a century ago, attracted by the big skies and soft golden light, the artists have kept on coming. Now the town is dotted with galleries, workshops and antiques shops. Cycle a few kilometres northeast of town to the sandbar called Grenen, where Denmark ends, and you can watch two separate seas sloshing together before your eyes.

![short tours scandinavia Skagen, Denmark](https://deih43ym53wif.cloudfront.net/skagen-2966360_1920_edbd4dcf2b.jpeg)
Bergen looks like it was built for a photoshoot, but its beauty pales in comparison to the epic fjords nearby. You might find that the staggering views are rewarding enough (imagine soaring mountains reflected in mirror-smooth water), but otherwise there’s a whole host of adrenaline-pumping activities to keep you occupied. Anyone for paragliding?

Sprawling across low islands that are stitched together by passenger boats and bridges, with views of soaring spires around almost every corner, Stockholm sure is a looker. But beyond the medieval lanes of the old centre, the self-proclaimed Capital of Scandinavia is a slick, forward-thinking city, home to some of the world’s coolest tech and fashion brands. It’s pricey and pretentious, sure, but there’s a reason young Swedes flock here from all four corners of the country.
![short tours scandinavia stockholm-sweden-shutterstock_95253637](https://deih43ym53wif.cloudfront.net/stockholm-sweden-shutterstock_95253637_037dc2775e.jpeg)

Wood-fired saunas, shivering forests, reindeer meat and steaming cups of lingonberry juice: Lapland manages to roll Scandinavia’s most exotic bits into a single epic landscape. Challenging weather conditions and the area’s vast size can make exploring a slow process, but with a long weekend you’ll be able to get a decent flavour for life in the north. Watch the northern lights, try ice fishing or snuggle down for a night at the Icehotel. Come back in summer when the sun reappears, nourishing the valleys with meltwater, and the possibilities for hiking are endless.
![short tours scandinavia Lapland](https://deih43ym53wif.cloudfront.net/lapland-2984828_1920_48ce42ef95.jpeg)
When it comes to art, design, fashion and food, no other Scandinavian city can compete with Copenhagen . Yes, Noma is here, but most visitors experience a more laidback version of the city, where bottles of Carlsberg are still swigged at canal-side bars, and where pushbikes – not limos – remain the favoured mode of transport. Give the famous Little Mermaid statue a miss, and instead make time for the galleries, food carts and design shops. A weekend here is barely enough to scratch the surface.
Home to rolling fields of poppies and cornflowers, rather than the usual dense pine forests, Österlen is the gorgeous chunk of land in the far southeast of Sweden. It’s one of the best parts of the country to explore by car, with farm shops and orchards sprouting up at the side of the road, and powder-fine beaches hugging the pristine coast. Head to Stenshuvud Nationalpark on a warm summer’s day, squint just a little, and you might think you’ve landed on some languid Thai island.

We offer Free Time Add-Ons, which are additional experiences that are not included in the overall price. These add ons are highlighted on the specific trip page. Your Trip Manager will highlight these to you and organise their booking on trip. Exceptions may apply where pre booking is required but this will be made known to you in your pre departure information.
A number of meal times are left open for you to explore a region and its foodie offerings in greater detail, so budgeting for your taste in non-catered meals is important.
Travel insurance and visas are also not included in the cost of your trip, and should be booked separately.

- FEATURED TOURS
Welcome to Scandinavia
Experience a Nordic world of fjords, castles, glaciers and the seafaring legacy of the Vikings in this land of endless day and perpetual night.
Grieg's troldhaugen in bergen, visit edvard grieg's home & museum at troldhaugen.
One of the leading pianists and composers of the Romantic era, Bergen's favorite son, Edvard Grieg, brought the musical traditions of his native Norway to international prominence through his work during the second half of the 19th century. Recognized as Norway's national composer, Grieg is a beloved and revered figure throughout his native country – and his home town of Bergen – to this day. You'll enjoy a guided visit to the Edvard Grieg Museum Troldhaugen, a complex in Bergen comprising Grieg's former villa (Troldhaugen), where he resided with his wife Nina from 1885 until his death in 1907; the couple's gravesite; the hut where Grieg composed his music; a museum dedicated to his life and work, completed in 1995; and the Troldsalen concert hall.
Denmark's Frederiksborg Palace
Early-entry private visit to frederiksborg palace, a danish renaissance masterpiece.
Dating to the early 1600s as a royal residence for the King of Denmark and Norway, Frederiksborg Castle – built atop three islands in a lake near Copenhagen – has been through many trials, tribulations and changes over the centuries. Following a disastrous fire in the mid-19th century, this Danish Renaissance masterpiece was reconstructed and restored according to its original plans and drawings. Today, it's the Danish Museum of National History… and you're invited to discover its grandeur on an early-opening private visit.
Grand Hotel Oslo
For nearly 150 years, a grand experience at an oslo icon.
Everyone deserves to feel grand… like the guest experience you'll have at Grand Hotel Olso, based on true Nordic luxury delivered by a well-trained and enthusiastic international team. Norway's most prestigious luxury hotel first opened its doors in 1874, and has been host to the people of Norway, international guests, world leaders, celebrities and the Nobel Peace Prize laureates ever since.
The amazing wildlife of the Arctic
Discover the wildlife capital of the arctic....
On your unforgettable cruise along the coast of Spitsbergen in the Arctic Ocean and the Greenland Sea, you'll encounter islands of glaciers, fjords, and natural "ice sculpture," revered for their silent majesty. Your daily itinerary is flexible – go where the weather and movement of wildlife tell you to go, seeking tiny Svalbard reindeer, polar bears, walruses, whales, Arctic foxes, red-throated divers, pink-footed geese, and more. A wildlife filmmaker and expedition naturalists accompany you throughout your voyage in the "land of the Midnight Sun," where daylight never ends. Enjoy a camaraderie that only Arctic explorers can share... you'll be the closest you can get to the North Pole!
Tauck Exclusive – Private evening at the Vasa Museum, Stockholm
Exclusive reception and dinner at the vasa museum.
The Vasamuseet (Vasa Museum) is home to the world's only remaining intact 17th-century warship, the Vasa. When this ornate wooden warship was completed in 1628, it was the largest, most powerful battleship in the world; on her maiden voyage in 1628 she capsized and sank to the bottom of Stockholm's harbor until discovered in 1956 and raised in 1961… 333 years later! The Vasa will also be your dining companion during Tauck's exclusive, private reception and dinner at the museum.

FAQs About Our Scandinavia Tours
After landing at Keflavík Airport, you will travel to your hotel in Reykjavík. Located in the heart of Iceland’s capital city, Hotel Borg offers the best in both style and comfort. Following check-in, connect with your Tour Director before a visit to the Sky Lagoon. Relax in the warm waters of the geothermal lagoon and soak off your jet lag as your gaze upon incredible views of the North Atlantic. End your day with a gourmet kickoff dinner where you will get to know your fellow travelers and taste delicious Icelandic dishes. Your group tour of Iceland has officially started!
After breakfast, join a driving tour of Iceland’s capital. Notable sights include the famous Hallgrímskirkja Church, Harpa Concert Hall and the unique Sun Voyager sculpture. Following your tour, you will have free time to experience the city on your own. End your day with a delectable dinner and a drive to view the Northern Lights, if the skies are clear that night. If they are not, don’t worry. We will have many other opportunities!
Day 3 is dedicated to Iceland’s Golden Circle, which is made up of three must-see sights: Gullfoss waterfall, Geysir geothermal area and Thingvellir National Park. Nearby, at Fridheimar, you will enjoy a beautiful show with Icelanic horses and some organic, tomato-based delicacies as well. Following your guided tour of the Golden Circle, we will drive to Landeyjahöfn harbor and board a ferry to the Westman Islands. The short 45-minute boat ride will give you a new perspective of Iceland’s south coast. When the ferry docks on the main island, Heimaey, you might even spot a brave sheep grazing on the rocky cliffs surrounding you! Enjoy a delectable dinner at Hotel Vestmannaeyjar, your cozy accommodation for the evening.
Our private tours allow travelers to explore Scandinavian destinations with programs offering a great balance between pre-arranged activities and free time to explore. When implementing one of our private programs for you, we handle all the logistics involved, including: hotels, airport transfers, transportation from city to city and all guided activities and excursions. You will not be with a Tour Director throughout the program, but you will enjoy a number of sightseeing experiences led by experienced local guides. We can work with your desired dates, provided that availability exists at the many services involved in your program. This option is ideal for travelers who enjoy traveling independently and with a higher degree of flexibility to explore each location on their own.
Technically, Scandinavia refers primarily to Norway, Denmark and Sweden. When thinking of Nordic Countries, add to the list Finland and Iceland as well. Discover Scandinavia Tours can take you to any location in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland. Currently we also offer extensions in Estonia, which is of particularly convenient access when visiting Finland, given that Tallinn – Estonia’s beautiful capital – can be reached by a short ferry ride from Helsinki.
Simple: just call us at 800-936-2814 and talk to one of our Scandinavia specialists. Alternatively, you can email us at [email protected]
If you are interested in a group tour, you can book any departure as long as there are seats available (but remember: we have a maximum of 12 seats per departure, so booking early is recommendable). If you want a private tour, you can book as far as 2 years in advance. For last-minute travelers, please keep in mind that we need a minimum of 30 days to implement a private program.
With our group tours of Scandinavia you can choose from a number of fixed departures throughout the year. If you need more flexible dates, our private tours allow us to work with any dates you have in mind, provided that we find adequate availability at all hotels and other services included in your particular program.
Yes, we do. For details regarding commissions, please visit our TRAVEL AGENT portal.
You will find our cancellation policy, along with all our terms and conditions, RIGHT HERE.
In short, you can typically view the Northern Lights between September and March. But if you really want a memorable Northern Lights vacation, we created an entire blog post dedicated to this question, which you can read RIGHT HERE.
You most certainly can! Just email us ( [email protected] ) or call us ( 800-936-2814 ) and we will start your dream Scandinavian vacation with a free consultation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT NORDIC CRUISES
Just in case you want to learn more about cruise packages or Nordic Visitor destinations, we’ve collected the most requested queries and answered them here. If you want details on our company and booking processes, then check out our general FAQs or booking information page .
1. WHY IS NORTHERN EUROPE POPULAR?
Northern Europe is a popular holiday destination for so many reasons! It is a region brimming with gorgeous scenery and vibrant cultures, with the opportunity to enjoy a wide range of tours and activities.
From the fjords of Norway to the ice fields of Greenland, and from the world-class museums of Scandinavia to the Celtic heritage of Scotland, there is simply so much to uncover in Northern Europe. Best of all, you can visit the region year-round, with each season offering its own appeal.
Northern Europe is so diverse yet it is very easy to travel around, so you can see more than one country in the same trip. Flight times between destinations are short, although you can also journey by road, rail or cruise for scenic views along the way.
What’s more, the Nordic countries – that’s Iceland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland – regularly rank in the top 10 safest places in the world to visit. This is partly because they generally have low crime rates, good standards of healthcare, and excellent road safety, among other reasons.
Another plus is that most people in the Nordics speak English, which means you can easily interact with the locals if you are an English speaker yourself. In Scotland and Ireland, English is the main language.
2. WHY IS NORTHERN EUROPE GREAT TO VISIT ON A CRUISE?
You can easily travel around Northern Europe by cruise as there are fast, reliable and efficient links within the region. For example, Scandinavian cruise tours are very popular as they offer you the chance to visit a number of destinations across the Baltic and North Seas.
Cruising in Norway is a great option as you can visit various fjords and explore the country’s coastal landscapes. It’s also a fantastic way to discover the Arctic region, travelling aboard the reputable Hurtigruten cruise vessel.
In Greenland, cruising is the best way to reach remote corners of the country as they cannot be accessed by road. For a real adventure, spend a few days aboard a cruise to marvel at the Ilulissat Icefjord, whale watch in Sisimiut, and see mountains towering above the sea at Maniitsoq.
3. WHAT ARE THE TOP SIGHTS IN NORTHERN EUROPE?
Some of the top sights in Northern Europe include glaciers, volcanoes and waterfalls in Iceland, and fjords, mountains and valleys in Norway. Sweden flaunts lushly forested islands and countryside, while Scotland and Ireland are blessed with dramatic national parks and coastlines.
Find out the best places to visit in Northern Europe with our insider guides:
- The best places to visit in Scandinavia
- The best things to see and do in Norway
- The best places to visit in Iceland
- The best places to visit in Scotland
- The best places to visit in Ireland
4. WHAT IS THE BEST NORDIC CRUISE?
There are so many Nordic cruises to choose from, so finding the best one depends on what you want to do and how much time you have.
On Scandinavian cruise tours , you can visit Sweden, Denmark and Norway on the same trip. You could spend a week visiting the three Scandinavian countries, or stay for longer to explore the region at leisure and even incorporate other destinations into your tour.
A Baltic cruise is a great option if you want to experience a mix of Northern European cities and cultures.
Take your pick from various Baltic Sea cruise ports to stop off at. You might like to begin in Helsinki, Finland. You can then hop over to Tallinn, Estonia before sailing to Stockholm, Sweden. You may also wish to consider St Petersburg, Russia, as a port of call.
Alternatively, you could focus on exploring Norway by cruise . The west coast is 2,000 kilometres (1,240 miles) long, so there is plenty to discover! A Havila or Hurtigruten cruise will take you to glittering fjords and picturesque shorelines, ranging from 2 to 7 days at sea with shore excursions along the way.
How about an adventure to the far north? If you love immersing yourself in wild, remote landscapes, then opt for a Greenland cruise . Greenland is one of the last unexplored frontiers in the world, with its icy tundras, vast glaciers and Arctic wildlife.
Your voyage could whisk you to the hard-to-reach corners of Greenland. Cruise along glacier lagoons to see icebergs calving into the water, spot whales in the sea, and admire mountainous scenery from the water.
5. WHAT IS A SELF-GUIDED TOUR?
On a self-guided tour, you travel independently without a guide or a group. You’re certainly not alone, though, as your dedicated Nordic Visitor travel consultant has arranged everything before your arrival. They provide you with a personalised itinerary complete with tickets, bookings and recommendations.
We have a 24/7 emergency helpline as well, so should anything unexpected arise, we’re only a phone call away.
6. WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO CRUISE NORWAY’S FJORDS?
Each travel season offers different reasons to visit the Norwegian fjords, so there is no “bad time” to go! However we can give you a good idea of what it will be like in Norway at different times of the year, so that you can decide when is best for your trip.
Visit Norway’s fjords in the spring and summer (May to August) for long daylight hours and warmer weather. This is the ideal time to see the fjords surrounded with greenery and to join bird watching or kayaking excursions. You could also experience the midnight sun at the height of summer.
Alternatively, chasing the northern lights in Norway might be on your wish list. Many travellers head to Northern Norway hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive “dancing” aurora borealis.
In which case, we recommend visiting in the autumn and winter, between September and March. You’ll need the right conditions to catch sight of them, such as solar activity, dark skies, and low light pollution. Learn more about the best time and place to see the northern lights in Norway on our blog.
Whether you see the northern lights or not, cruising the Norwegian fjords in winter is ideal if you want to avoid the crowds. The shoulder season (autumn and early spring) is also a good time to go as top attractions are quieter, with fewer visitors compared to the summer.
Whichever time of year you prefer to travel, we have reliable departure dates and there are cruise tours available year-round. You can find out more about the best time to visit Norway on our blog.
7. DO I NEED A VISA FOR A BALTIC CRUISE?
Whether you need a visa or not will depend on where you are travelling from. For example, you do not need a visa for a Baltic cruise if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom or USA. For all other nationalities, we recommend getting in touch with your local consulate to check.
It’s also worth mentioning that you can visit St Petersburg without a visa for up to 72 hours if you book a package cruise tour. Usually British and American citizens require a visa for Russia, but booking a Baltic cruise is one of the few exceptions.
8. CAN I CHOOSE THE ARRIVAL DATE?
In most cases, yes, you can view and select Nordic Visitor arrival dates online. You can always add extra days to your itinerary before or after the cruise.
9. CAN I EXTEND MY TOUR BY A DAY OR TWO?
Yes, you can extend all Nordic Visitor packages with extra days. Every tour can be customised by adding days to the beginning or end of your trip. You can also add extra days within your itinerary if you are travelling on a self-drive or private tour .
For cruises there are fixed departure dates as the vessel must adhere to an itinerary. But of course you can add days before or after your cruise experience. The same applies to small group tours .
10. WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY FLIGHT TICKETS?
We recommend you look over flights for timings and prices, but hold off purchasing until your package has been secured. Once your dedicated travel consultant has introduced themselves and sent over the confirmation email, you will have all of the information you need to pick and purchase flights.
11. WHAT SHOULD I PACK FOR MY TRIP?
You should always bring sensible layers to add or remove when travelling in Northern Europe. The weather can be unpredictable, so don’t forget to pack:
- A warm jumper or fleece
- A waterproof jacket
- Gloves, scarves and hats
- Comfortable walking shoes or boots
- Warm socks (especially for winter travel)
- Sunscreen (for summer trips)
An umbrella will also come in handy, and cruise passengers may wish to bring binoculars to get a closer look at the fjords and local wildlife.
For a detailed list of what to bring and how to prepare for your trip, read our travel guides for Iceland , Norway , Scotland and Ireland .

A guide to stavanger, norway for cruise ship visitors.

Three large swords stand in Stavanger as a memory to the Battle of Hafrsfjord in year 872, when King ... [+] Harald Fairhair gathered all of Norway under one crown.
With more than half a million passenger visits recorded on more than 200 cruise ships in 2023, Stavanger is one of the most popular cruise ports in Norway.
Its location on the southwest coast means the city is often included at the beginning or end of a fjords itinerary. On such trips, a port call in Stavanger is a chance to enjoy a Scandinavian city break and to discover the area’s cultural heritage in the city’s many museums.
If your cruise continues on up the coast or doesn't include much time exploring the fjords, Stavanger provides an ideal opportunity to visit the Lysefjord, one of Norway’s most famous fjords, on a day trip.
Gateway To The Lysefjord
For many cruise visitors, Stavanger is synonymous with the Lysefjord, one of Norway’s most famous and stunning fjords. The fjord, with its steep cliffs and clear waters, is a must-see for nature lovers, but is usually only accessible to relatively small cruise ships.
However, Stavanger is the ideal base for excursions to the Lysefjord by passenger ferries or even a more thrilling experience on a RIB boat.
Sightseeing tours and RIB boat trips visit waterfalls on the Lysefjord.
On such sightseeing tours, guests should be able to make out the Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) clifftop that towers almost 2,000 feet above the fjord. Closer to ground level, waterfalls, a family of goats, and diverse birdlife are among the highlights.

Does tim walz’s family back trump viral pro-trump photo features distant relatives, mother says., billionaire daughters pegula and navarro are into u.s. open semifinals: ‘no, i don’t have a butler’.
While these excursions are usually offered by the cruise line, it’s simple to book independently. The departure point is a short walk from the cruise terminal and you’ll save plenty of money.
The popular 3.5-hour sightseeing cruise from Rodne costs 795 Norwegian kroner (approx $75) when booked in advance. For a more thrilling ride, the 1 hour and 45 minute tour from Stavanger RIB costs 1,390 Norwegian kroner (approximately $130) and comes with all necessary equipment.
Stay In Stavanger
If your cruise itinerary will include sailings along famous Norwegian fjords such as the Sognefjord or Nordfjord, you may prefer to use the port call in Stavanger to see the city.
Unlike many city ports these days, most cruise ships dock in central Stavanger, meaning most major attractions are within walking distance.
The picturesque old town is just steps away from the cruise terminal in Stavanger, Norway.
Where to start? Step off the ship and immediately onto the historic cobbled streets of Gamle Stavanger, the picturesque old town renowned for its charming white, wooden houses.
Wandering through the cobblestone lanes, where vibrant flowers spill from hanging baskets and brighten the streets, is especially delightful on a sunny day. Just be aware before taking photos and peeking into windows that this is an active residential neighborhood.
These charming white facades create a timeless atmosphere, but the city also boasts a vibrant street art scene that adds a burst of color and creativity.
The street art movement, driven by the Nuart festival, features a wide range of works, from large, striking murals to more subtle pieces that interact with the city's environment.
You're never far from murals or other street art in the center of Stavanger.
For more color, head to Øvre Holmegate for a coffee or simply a walk. In contrast to the white buildings that dominate much of the city, this street bursts with vibrant hues. Enjoy a light lunch in its lively sidewalk cafes during the afternoon before heading back to the ship.
Stavanger’s Museums
Norway’s oil and gas hub hosts the family-friendly Norwegian Petroleum Museum , which explores the history, economic impact, and technological progress of the oil industry, as well as its controversies, like disasters and climate change.
The museum features interactive exhibits for kids, including a rescue slide, life raft, and a mini oil platform. The adjacent playground is made from repurposed oil industry components.
Other notable museums include the Stavanger Maritime Museum, highlighting the region's seafaring history, and the Stavanger Art Museum, showcasing Norwegian and international art. The Museum of Archaeology features Viking artifacts and exhibits on Norway's ancient history.
Sightseeing Bus
If you want to get a flavor of the city without walking too much, consider booking a ticket for a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing bus, always available when cruise ships are in dock.
City sightseeing buses line up next to the cruise terminal in Stavanger.
These sightseeing buses run to a fixed timetable. They can be used as transport between the main sights, or as a straightforward sightseeing tour. It’s a value way to see the sights slightly farther afield, including the sverd i fjell monument of swords, which commemorates the 9th-century Battle of Hafrsfjord.
One important point to note is that Stavanger plays host to two competing sightseeing bus companies: ‘City Sightseeing’ and ‘Hop On’. This can be confusing when you step off the ship, so be sure to know which one visits the places you want to see, as the route maps do differ slightly.
To beat the queues, book online in advance. You’ll save money and you’ll be able to approach the bus directly, skipping the ticketing queues.
