Stavanger in one day from your ship

Ships dock at Strandkaien or Skagenkaien, right on the harbour — you're in the city centre the moment you step off the gangway.

How long are you in port?

Plan to be back on the pier 60 minutes before all-aboard. Tenders add 20–30 min each way.

On your own

    Book a tour

    Independent tours are cheaper than the ship's excursions but you're responsible for getting back — pick one that ends 90 min before all-aboard.

    Skip these

    • Preikestolen in under 9 hours in port — the hike alone is 7 hours, and any delay risks missing all-aboard.
    • Renting a car just for the museums — everything worth seeing on foot is within 10 minutes of the quay.
