Rare EllieinNJ Posted May 4, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Going on Carnival Pride to Norway June 2023. Was comparing their 2022 cruise and see that they are going to Haugesund instead of Stavenger. Port seems much smaller with less things to do. Anyone familiar with Haugesund?

JohnAllen75 Posted May 7, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Haugesund is not a good substitution for Stavanger. Much smaller as you say, and really not much to see. Im not sure of the "must does" in Haugesund, what tours are Carnival providing? I guess the port of Stavanger is full that day. Haugesund are a very popular port for the Cruise Companies, i guess its because of the easy access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The newest P&O ship, Iona, is calling there regularly and she can be fed there (LNG), so I expect Carnival Corp will have a good deal on regular calls. Probably more chance that people will take ship's excursions from there as well. Does not help you, but probably explains the reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehowlingroad Posted May 16, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 16, 2022 We will be docking in Haugesund in July 2022. Our roll call forum has found 3 tour companies after much griping about the lack of things to do in the city (and that we're docking on a Sunday), and we're booked with Go Viking Adventures for their regional highlights bus tour. I hope this helps! CityTrain Sightseeing Go Viking Adventures Guide Companiet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About that… our port stop got canceled due to bad weather so I don’t know how the bus tour was! But Go Viking Adventures was so responsive with issuing refunds as soon as they were notified by passengers and the port authorities that we would not be docking. They said my refund would be issued within 5-10 business days but I had mine 17 mins after our email exchange.

Photo Andy Posted August 13, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 13, 2022 We went to Haugesund Thursday 12 My 2022. We visited Aakrafjord to see the Lang Fossen waterfall (610m high). Sailing on P and O Iona with a bow cabin (photo attached), and photo of Lang Fossen waterfall on an open boat with a rain storm (yes I know good clothes negate bad weather - Gore-Tex head to toes). Of interest the image looked black and white in the camera but post production brought out the colours. Would recommend this visit if you are a photographer or just interested in seeing raw nature. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
