Visit Haugesund Cruise

PORT OF HAUGESUND

Homeland of the Viking Kings, Norway´s birthplace

The Homeland of the Viking Kings is located between Stavanger and Bergen in the heart of Norway's south-western cruise region, and nestling among countless small islands and the mighty, almost endless, fjords such as Åkrafjord, Hardangerfjord and Lysefjord. Haugesund is a vibrant and historic town dating back to Viking times. This is where, a thousand years ago, King Harald Fairhair united Norway into a single kingdom, and it was from this area that the Viking Kings ruled Norway for more than 500 years. The region has laid claim to the title of Norway's Birthplace – the Homeland of the Viking Kings.

 

 

The region offers a wealth of natural wonders just waiting for you to explore – including the impressive North Sea coastline. The fjords on the other hand are enclosed and intimate, offering picturesque and tranquil landscapes. Our Viking history, fjords, islands, mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, rivers and the town itself all combine to make this region an exciting cruise destination.

Welcome to Haugesund – An unspoiled gem in the heart of Norway´s south-western cruise region.
