Popular Destinations on Our Cruise Private Shore Excursions
If you’re visiting Lofoten on a cruise, this private shore excursion is the perfect way to explore the islands. You can choose one of our panoramic tour routes: South of Lofoten (recommended for first time visitors), Central Lofoten or North Lofoten.
It’s also possible to customize the tour based on your personal interests, as long as the plan fits within the time available and allows enough time to return safely to the port before your ship departs.
For first-time visitors, we highly recommend the South of Lofoten tour since it offers the most complete experience, combining dramatic scenery, charming fishing villages, and most of the iconic sights in the islands.
