Stavanger Port Shuttles

A pillar of Norway’s oil industry, the seaside city of Stavanger offers a small town with big-city perks. Cruise goers gliding past colorful boat houses on their way to the Stavanger Region Port will find themselves at the heart of downtown, surrounded by various historic museums, landmarks and urban parks. Public transportation options near the dock include the Stavanger Ferry Terminal about half a mile away as well as an extensive bus network accessible through the nearby Rudlå Station. Reserve a private vehicle to bypass all the noise, considering one of many rides that include small sedans and spacious chartered buses, each perfect for getting a personal outlook of the stoic Nordic coastlines. For those interested in absolute convenience, go with a vast array of meet-and-greet services that provide drop offs through helpful tips of local personal drivers as well as the luxury arrivals of chauffeured limousines.

Plan the day with ease by starting explorations with what’s close to the cruise port, popular landmarks including the Stavanger Maritime Museum’s showcase of old boat houses and ship artifacts. Go on a stroll through the historic Gamle Stavanger neighborhood afterward, home to winding cobblestoned streets and old cottage houses of shrouded by flowers, an especially beautiful building worth visiting being the famed Workers Cottage and its antique interior. Continue toward dramatic cannons pointed toward the sea at the Shore Horse Statue for one last look at the old Nordic way of life, then turning heads toward modernity at the city’s core, bustling downtown landmarks including the semi-futuristic look of the region’s oil industry through the Norwegian Petroleum Museum as well as old homes turned to trendy cafes in the light-strewn streets of Fargegaten. End the evening with dinner along the city’s central Vågen, whether it be the traditional Norwegian eats at Egon or lavish waterside Italian at the calming Villa 22 Trattoria & Bar.
