AlpineBliss Posted August 13, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) I’m trying to plan my port days in advance as much as possible. Could someone out there that has done this cruise let me know what time you have to be back on board at each of the four ports of call? I’m especially hoping to do Briksdal Glacier and the Loen sky lift in Olden, but not sure if it’s possible to do both? Departing Saturday August 19 and it’s my first cruise.

If you book your trips through P&O, for any port cancelled you will get a refund for any missed shore excursions. Have a wonderful time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisHilton Posted August 18, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 18, 2023 (edited) On board right now, I'll check horizon but haugesund was 4.30 for us. I think the day before was too. BIG queues for the skylift. Queue for bus queue for lift up, huge queue to come down. Negligible queues whilst up there though. --edit-- pretty sure Stavanger was 5pm too. Guess it's quite weather dependent so bear that in mind if planning last minute trips. Not suggesting you take advantage but I think they allow for about half an hour for tardiness.
