What To Expect
Lysefjord
I am sure one of the reasons you have booked your cruise was to experience all the Norwegian fjords has to offer. Let Stavanger be one of the highlights of your cruise. The fjords were created by glaciers. In the Earth's last ice age, glaciers covered just about everything. The Lysefjord and the Pulpit Rock (Preikestolen) are some of the most impressive sights you will enjoy on the tour. The tour really shows off the natural nature at its best. You will meet your professional guide with an easy 5 minute walk from the cruise pier, the boat offers a sundeck as well as a kiosk. One of the first memorable sights will be the mysterious Vagabond's Cave, a gorgeous cove where dramatic cliffs surround an aqua-marine pool. As legend has it, the cave was named after a group of vagabonds who hid in the shelter for months trying to escape police.
Preikestolen
We then head to the famous Pulpit Rock this is a natural rock formation consisting of a steep cliff, rising 1981 feet above Lysefjorden, opposite the Kjerag plateau, with an almost flat top of approximately 80 meters. Also on this exhilarating tour of memorable Lysefjord with its towering waterfalls, idyllic islands, and breathtaking scenery, you'll visit goats at summer pasture and taste clear mountain water from the Hengjane falls. Book early as this tour books up quickly each time a cruise ship is in port. This popular tour guarantees to get you back to the ship in time and we know it will leave great memories of your day.

4.00Fun trip for all ages! Be sure to arrive early. We were there at 25 minutes before our departure and the top deck was almost completely full. So if you want to sit up there in the open air, arrive early! As it turned out, I prefer the indoor area with comfortable chairs and big windows. You can easily walk around, or go outside if you choose. They offer some simple snacks and drinks on the ship. It seems that you can bring food aboard if you wish. Our Viking cruise ship arrived at the dock in town at about five minutes before 10 (the tour time we had selected), although we raced to the boat, it pulled out just as we got there. Fortunately, the staff said we could go on the next trip in two hours. So if you’re arriving by cruise ship, you might not want to book the 10 am trip! Our trip was in August, and although it was breezy, it was not cold.

Do not book with My Holidays Online

1.00My rating is based on My Holidays Online and their misrepresentations, and would give it a lower rating than one star if given that option. My recommendation is Do not book with this company…” My Holidays Online” They not even based in Norway, they are a UK company and have appear to have no presence in Norway. They are a reseller, charging a very large premium and do not deliver what they describe. I contacted Viator showing the lesser cost options available for this tour and was rejected. I sent messages to them thru Viator several days and times prior to the day of the tour looking for more complete info. I received no replies. I spoke with several others with the same booking and their experience was the same. My observations… 1. “You will meet your professional guide with an easy 5 minute walk from the cruise port”. There was nobody from the company at the port to meet or direct us. We eventually figured out that the tour was the RODNE FJORD CRUISE… Fjord cruise Lyseford & Preikestolen. 2. It was not an easy walk if following their “directions”. Map provided was not of the port and wharf area, so was useless. 3. The description indicates there would be a guide …” hear tales of local history and legends from your guide”. Not true, no guide, just the boat captain and crew selling drinks and snacks. 4. “ taste clear mountain waters from the Hengjane falls”. Not true. This is a boat ride and you will simply ride past the falls. This was a nice boat ride, my complaints are with My Holidays Online.
This really scenic....

4.00This really scenic. Beautiful. My only complaints are that their sound system isn’t very good. We could barely hear her when we were on the outside. When we were inside we couldn’t hear at all. Also, it said it would be 3 1/2 - 4 hours and we were back after 2 1/2 hours. It was so beautiful I still recommend it. They took us really close to each waterfall.
