Absorb the vibrant atmosphere of Norway's energy capital while observing landmarks such as the Norwegian Petroleum Museum and the Norwegian Canning Museum, showcasing the foundations of Stavanger's growth and prosperity.
Lysefjord Waters
Feel the exhilaration as you leave Stavanger behind and surge into the open waters of Lysefjord. Skim across the pristine surface at 35 knots, passing scenic islets, reefs, and traditional seaside cabins. Observe the modern aquaculture of Norway's sustainable salmon farms that dot the coastline. As you navigate through these pristine waters, breathe in the crisp ocean air and prepare to be captivated by the stunning natural beauty that awaits.
Lysefjord
Journey into the majestic Lysefjord, a 42-kilometer-long natural masterpiece carved by glaciers during the Ice Age. Be awestruck by the towering mountains adorned with emerald forests and cascading waterfalls that plunge into the crystal-clear waters. Keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife that calls this fjord home, including seals, porpoises, and majestic sea eagles. The fjord’s name, meaning “light fjord”, is a testament to the light-colored granite rocks that shape its magnificent presence.
Vagabond Cave (Fantahålå)
Discover the notorious Vagabond Cave, or 'Fantahålå', a hidden recess high in the fjord's mountainside. Hear the legendary tale of this intriguing landmark, which served as a hideout for vagabonds in the 19th century. Learn how these wanderers cleverly defended their sanctuary against the local sheriff. This dramatic natural feature is steeped in local folklore, revealing a glimpse into the rugged history of the region.
Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen)
Behold the iconic Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) from a breathtaking vantage point below. Marvel at the sheer scale of this towering cliff face, rising 604 meters above the fjord's clear waters. Admire the unique angular layers of rock formed during the Ice Age. Discover the history of this natural wonder, from its first treacherous ascent to its cinematic appearance in Mission Impossible: Fallout. Reflect on the daring climbers and Nepalese Sherpas who have made this iconic landmark accessible to all.
Hengjanefossen (Whisky Falls)
Experience the raw power of nature at Hengjanefossen, also known as 'Whisky Falls'. Feel the mist as you approach the base of this unique 75-meter-tall waterfall, comprised of interwoven streams and cascades. Learn about the waterfall's playful nickname, harking back to a bygone era and a clandestine moonshine distillery run by a German fellow. This is an opportunity to witness and even taste (if you dare!) the pristine runoff of this mesmerizing natural attraction.
