This excursion without lunch lasts 6.5 hours, while the version with lunch lasts 7.5 hours. If your ship is in port for at least 8 hours, you can join the tour without lunch and return in time for your ship’s departure. For ships in port for 9 hours or more, you may choose either the lunch-included or lunch-excluded tour. We routinely begin this excursion 30 minutes after a ship arrives in port.
Trollstigen is closed for the 2024 season. The risk of falling rocks poses too great a danger to keep the road open until adequate safety measures are implemented. Trollstigen plateau is still accessible. Due to the route change, we will not be able to visit Trollveggen on this tour.

4.00The tour was good but needs improvement starting with the lunch stop that probably should’ve been 30 to 45 minutes at most. I do feel that the tour had cut it very close to missing the all aboard time. And there was some delays with traffic on the Troll road so it made me a little bit nervous to making it back. I understand it’s beyond your control but I do feel that lunch stop should’ve been shortened or skipped and spend some more time at the visitor center or to be able to take more time back to the ship just Incase there is an increase in traffic back. Other than that we loved the tour just maybe some tweaking with time management.
