04. DAY HELLESYLT - GEIRANGER
Our ship will arrive at Hellesylt port at 08:30 in the morning. After breakfast, we depart with our private vehicle waiting at the port for the “Hellesylt & Geiranger Tour.” Two fascinating villages at the fork at the end of Storfjord. Former northern postal ports, and nowadays, due to the difficulty of land transportation, they are among Norway’s favorite cruise ports in the north, with an average of 180 ship visits per year. We begin our tour by greeting Hellesylt Waterfall... First known as the northern postal route, now a tourism center. We first head to a viewpoint where we will see the Hellesylt fjord, and after photographing the fjord, we continue on our way. Our first stop is the ham stone and the stone bridge dating back to the 1800s. Then we go to Hornindal Lake, the deepest lake in Europe, and take a break there. After setting off again, our next stop is Stryn, one of the most lively towns in the region. In Stryn, where the royal family especially comes for fishing, after seeing the stone bridge, you will have free time for shopping and coffee/lunch. After a break at the foot of Djupvatnet Lake, you will be enchanted by the view from the 1,476-meter-high Dalsnibba Mountain terrace, weather permitting. Then we stop at the Flydal viewing platform and photograph Geiranger Fjord. After our tour, we return to our ship. Our ship will depart from the port at 18:30. Dinner and overnight on board.
05. DAY ÅLESUND
Our ship will arrive at Ålesund port at 07:00 in the morning. After breakfast, we depart with our private vehicle waiting at the port for the “Trollstigen and Ålesund Panoramic Tour.” From the meeting point, the bus will take you through the beautiful area outside Ålesund to the land of trolls. This part of Møre og Romsdal is especially known for the furniture industry. The road from Sjøholt along Storfjord will take you via Stordal to Valldal, famous for its delicious strawberries. The next stop will be Gudbrandsjuvet, a breathtakingly beautiful gorge only 5 meters wide and 20–25 meters deep. You can walk across the bridge from one side of the gorge to the other. From here, the bus will continue through Reinheimen National Park to the Trollstigen plateau. Enjoy the magnificent views of the Troll Road (Trollstigen), the King, Queen, and Bishop mountains, as well as the waterfall Stigfossen. Then we will return to Ålesund and take a panoramic city tour of Ålesund. After our tour, we return to our ship. Our ship will depart from the port at 17:00. Dinner and overnight on board.
06. DAY STAVANGER
Our ship will arrive at Stavanger port at 09:00 in the morning. After breakfast, we depart from the port with our guide for the “Stavanger & Lysefjord Boat Tour.” Our boat tour in Stavanger will consist of two parts. In the first part, we will explore on foot the richest city in Norway, the center of North Sea oil. Then, we plan to spend about 2.5 hours on a boat tour in the 42 km Lysefjord (Light Fjord). According to many, the most striking point of this fjord, one of Norway’s most beautiful and unique, is the monolithic granite rock called Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), 600 meters above sea level. Although the large crack visible from three sides gives the impression that it may fall into the sea at any moment, it will likely take thousands more years for this natural event to occur. After our tour, we return to our ship. Our ship will depart from the port at 19:00.
