Stavanger departure time, Iona

[thornegirl]

If anyone has been on Iona could you advise what time the departure time is.  Its only saying depart afternoon on the itinerary.  

I'm trying to book Flor & Fjaere independently as the excursion through P&O has been cancelled.  The trip would return to Stavanger at 4.30 in the afternoon.

According to the Port of Stavanger website, all Iona's calls are scheduled for  9am to 5pm.

Thanks for the information. I’ll email them to double check the times. But it may be too tight, don’t want to be late for the sailing.

I have booked the afternoon Pulpit rock excursion and it takes some time including a stop for coffee and cakes.

Look at the P&O excursions. See what time they leave and duration, then you can see what time they get back. Does yours fit that time frame.

That is probably a safer bet than the timetable on the port website.

I have been caught out by the port timetable before in that the all aboard time was 2hrs before the port ship depart time which led to our private excursion cutting it pretty close. I found the port web port times to be pretty accurate (e.g. when ships actually arrive and depart) but haven't yet figured out the logic for disembark and all onboard times - I guess it always varies because it depends on ship and port? Also, be aware of P&O excursions for start times as I have seen priority disembarkment given to ship tours in the past but that may have been when tenders were involved.

Oh yes that's a very good idea.  Thank you
