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 company had someone at the port with a sign to escort us to the bus, which was located at the port. Our tour guide, Joseph, gave many interesting facts and was always willing to take our picture at the stops. However, he said um, um continually and it became very distracting. It’s a long day on a bus however, the scenery is gorgeous with multiple stops. There was adequate time at each stop to take in the amazing views and get pictures. It was about 2-2 1/2 hours before we had a bathroom break. There was a bathroom on the bus but only for emergencies. Lunch was provided with the tour we chose but be aware it’s a late lunch, around 3:30.
Amazing day seeing sights...

5.00My favorite tour of my cruise. The views were spectacular – mountains, waterfalls, fjords, ravines and lakes. Some walking to view points but not much at all. Lunch was included – a buffet with salmon, pork, boiled potatoes and dessert. Very tasty. The guide Lulu was very informative and entertaining. The driver Alex did amazing on the troll road especially with the less experienced drivers! Highly recommend.

5.00We chose this on our cruise as our stop. We had a great time. I was well aware we would be on a large bus with a lot of people. Our bus driver was very skilled in navigating the zig zag road. It was a rainy day but we had a nice time.
