Sussexboy Posted March 29, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 29, 2023 It’s a while since I was last in Stavanger, but from what I remember the museum is a short walk from where you berth. It was a good place to visit, but I think I may have been influenced by the raven haired Viking maiden that took us round it! The farm and the swords were definitely further away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Bill Y Posted March 29, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Can't you go on the wait list now? There used to be an orange box to click for that. If they get enough interest they will put on an extra coach and guide, obviously that does not work if if the limit is venue/train capacity. While I can't remember doing it on P&O but we have been successful on HAL and Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fionboard Posted March 29, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Lots to see within walking distance of ship. If you have been there before, I can recommend the Stavanger countryside trip. Very interesting, covers everything and good value. Fjord boat trip not worth it if you are cruising in the fjords anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionboard Posted March 29, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2023 The canning museum is actually very good. Interesting but maybe not to kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've also enjoyed wandering around Old Stavanger, there's usually a nice market in the centre of town and some nice walks further in. None of that is "viking" of course but we've been a few times and always found something to do with the kids that they seem to have enjoyed.
