Rdwhite1999 Posted August 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 14, 2014 We will be arriving in Stavenger on the Legend of the Seas in early September and have looked at doing an excursion to cruise the Lysefjord and to view Pulpit Rock. Does the cruise ship pass by this on the way into port or is this something you can only see doing an excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrdsrdsr Posted August 14, 2014 #2 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The direct route into Stavanger doesn't go through Lysfjord, which is a dead end. If the ship went into it as a diversion (some ships do) it would almost certainly tell you in the cruise brochure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsrdsrdsr Posted August 15, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Bear in mind that screwcork's link is for walking to the rock, not sailing, and will take several hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkNC Posted August 15, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It depends on the itinerary. We sailed to Pulpit rock after leaving Stravenger so check your schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare scubacruiserx2 Posted August 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2014 We will be arriving in Stavenger on the Legend of the Seas in early September and have looked at doing an excursion to cruise the Lysefjord and to view Pulpit Rock. Does the cruise ship pass by this on the way into port or is this something you can only see doing an excursion? We think that it would be best viewed by a smaller boat like we did last September. There is on leaving at 2 pm on the day that you are in port and you can book it directly and save some money. Here's a map that shows the route to Pulpit Rock. This is the port and the blue boat in the center left is where you will board. Some of the scenery in the fjord Hengjanefossen falls 400 meters The smaller boats can get much closer to the waterfall than the cruise ship. Here's a video clip of how close the boat will come to the lower part of the falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iluvcruising2 Posted August 17, 2014 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I highly doubt that a relatively big ship like the Legend will travel up the Lysefjorden. Stavanger was one of our stops in our Iceland and Norway cruise. We took a smaller ferry from the port. Very easy and convenient.
