EXCURSION HIGHLIGHTS

• Take a short bus ride through Svolvaer and Kabelvag
• Hike over the Rorvik Pass
• Enjoy impressive views of Lofoten

The Lofoten Islands are known for excellent fishing, extreme and wild nature and small fishing villages. During the guided trip from Svolvaer to Stamsund, you get to see sheltered bays, white sandy beaches and large, green farmland. The scenery, the special light and the fishing have attracted artists from both Norway and abroad for centuries.

In Henningsvaer we visit a gallery where the most prominent Lofoten artists are represented with paintings from the islands and the Lofoten fishing industry. There is also a multimedia show depicting the archipelago's unique beauty and wildness throughout the four seasons. We also visit the KaviarFactory, an international venue for contemporary art. The building, dating from the 1950s, is a well-known local landmark. From Henningsvaer we go by bus to Stamsund where the ship awaits.
