Tour Detail
DAY 01 ISTANBUL AIRPORT – HAMBURG
After meeting at 07:30 at the international terminal of Istanbul Airport, we complete our check-in procedures and then depart for Hamburg at 11:30 on Turkish Airlines flight TK1661.

DAY 03 STAVANGER
Our ship will dock at Stavanger port at 08:00 in the morning. Free time for personal activities after breakfast. Guests who wish may join the “Stavanger & Lysefjord Boat Tour” organized as an extra by our guide. Our boat tour in Stavanger will consist of two parts. In the first part, we will walk together through the richest city in Norway, the center of North Sea oil. Then we plan to take a boat tour in Lysefjord (Light Fjord), 42 km long, which will last approximately 2.5 hours. According to many, the most striking point of this fjord, one of Norway’s most beautiful and distinctive, is the monolithic granite rock called Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen), 600 m above the sea. Although the large crack visible from all three sides of the rock gives the impression that it may fall into the sea at any moment, this natural event will probably require thousands more years to occur. After the tour, we return to our ship. Our ship will depart from the port at 18:00.

At our stop in Grimsetelvi in a different area, which also offers a very enjoyable panorama, we photograph the magnificent nature and return to Flam. At the end of the tour, before departing from our last port in Norway, you will have time to shop extensively in stores where you can find tax refunds, very lightweight famous Norwegian down jackets, fish oils such as Omega-3, and many other souvenirs.
