MomC Posted January 14 #1 Share Posted January 14 I am sailing the Norwegian itinerary in July. It looks wonderful! I have already visited Oslo, Kristiansand, and Bergen, but I don’t know what to book for Leknes—( the Lofoten Islands); Hardstal, Alta, Honningevag—the North Cape,and Tromso. If anyone has visited these places and can shed some light on what are must-sees, I would really appreciate it. Excursions are EXPENSIVE so I want to make sure I see the best things. Thank you so much! Mom C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully an inexpensive shuttle is available. The North Cape: you can actually take a local bus to Nordkapp or arrange a tour from local vendor for less than O's excursion Tromso- city bus to base of gondola and Arctic Cathedral. Town is compact and walkable after gondola and Cathedral YMMV, Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clo Posted January 14 #3 Share Posted January 14 Are you taking the train from Oslo to Bergen? It's supposed to be incredible. And Oslo and Bergen food is so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare gdlamberth Posted January 14 #5 Share Posted January 14 The excursions I found really interesting in also was to the hydroelectric facility supposed to be one of the biggest in Norway. Haven't actually done it just thought I'd call your attention to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomC Posted January 14 Author #6 Share Posted January 14 Thank you! I am tempted to hire a car and guide in these places and see it independently. There are three of us. Blue Puffin seems to be recommended often, but from their website, I can’t see if they are open in the summer. I need to contact them we are sailing from Oslo to Bergen, no train.
