City break in Stavanger
Look forward to an atmospheric city break in Stavanger, where white wooden houses, fjord views and vibrant city life set the scene for relaxing days. The city offers art, gastronomy and a lively waterfront, and your journey begins comfortably with a relaxing crossing from Hirtshals.
Experience Stavanger
Departure from Hirtshals
Your journey begins in the evening as you board Fjord Line’s cruise ferry in Hirtshals. Set the holiday mood with good food and a relaxed atmosphere on board: enjoy dinner, browse the tax-free shop and settle into the Seaview Bar. If the weather allows, the Sundeck Bar on deck 10 offers fresh sea air and great views as the ship heads for Norway. Bright, comfortable cabins with private bathroom and toilet ensure a pleasant night at sea, so you wake up refreshed on arrival the next morning.
Arrival in Stavanger
The ship docks at Risavika Harbour in the morning, and after a short drive you arrive in the centre of Stavanger. The city offers a charming blend of history and modern city life, where the well-preserved white wooden houses of Old Stavanger create a truly special atmosphere. It’s the perfect place for a leisurely stroll through narrow streets while soaking up the ambience.
A visit to Fargegaten, also known as Øvre Holmegate, is almost a must. This colourful street is famous for its distinctive façades, small independent shops, cafés and bars, and is one of Stavanger’s most photographed areas. Along the harbour area at Vågen, you’ll also find a good selection of restaurants and shops.
For culture and insight into the region’s history, you can visit the Norwegian Petroleum Museum or the beautiful Stavanger Cathedral, located in the heart of the city. End the day with dinner at one of the city’s many restaurants – ideally focusing on local ingredients and freshly caught seafood.
Preikestolen and nature experiences
After breakfast, a day filled with opportunities for spectacular nature experiences awaits. You can choose to join a fjord cruise on the Lysefjord, sailing through narrow fjords with steep mountain sides and waterfalls, and enjoying an impressive view of Preikestolen from the water.
For those seeking a more active adventure, there is also the option to hike up to Preikestolen. The trail offers varied terrain and is rewarded with a breathtaking view over the Lysefjord from the top – an experience considered one of Norway’s most iconic.
If you prefer a more relaxed pace, the day can instead be spent in Stavanger with shopping, café visits or a leisurely walk around Mosvatnet, located close to the city centre and perfect for unwinding and reflection.
In the evening, gather for a good meal in the city and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere after a day full of experiences.
Farewell to Stavanger
Spend your final morning in Stavanger at your own pace. Perhaps a last stroll through the city centre, a café visit by the harbour or a bit of shopping in the city’s stores will tempt you.
In the evening, you board the ship and set course for Denmark. On board, you can enjoy a good dinner in one of the restaurants, relax in the lounges or take a seat on deck and watch the coastline fade into the horizon – a pleasant end to a journey filled with city life, culture and memorable nature experiences.
Arrival in Hirtshals
You arrive in Hirtshals with relaxed shoulders and new impressions from fjords, coastline and cultural experiences. A city break offering both relaxation and memorable moments – perhaps inspiring a return visit another time.
