About Stavanger
Overlooking the Atlantic, Stavanger thrived as a fishing port in the 19th century. While many Norwegian towns declined with the fall of the fishing industry, Stavanger successfully reinvented itself—first through shipbuilding, and later as a hub for the oil industry. These shifts have shaped a city of contrasts: sleek modern buildings on one side and a charming old town with cobbled lanes and white wooden houses on the other. The historic centre was the birthplace of renowned 19th-century novelist Alexander Kielland. Stavanger Cathedral, built in 1125, stands as Norway’s only medieval cathedral to have survived largely unchanged. From here, visitors can enjoy a scenic excursion to the stunning Lysefjord, famed for its deep blue waters and dramatic cliffs, or to Hafrsfjord, where Viking King Harald is said to have won the battle that led to Norway’s unification. Independent explorers may also enjoy the fascinating Norwegian Petroleum Museum, offering insight into the nation’s offshore energy story.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the ‘Worry-Free Shore Excursion’ on some of the excursions?
Viator’s Worry-Free Shore Excursion policy means that if your tour runs late and you miss your ship, they’ll arrange transport to the next port at no additional cost to you. This offer applies only to shore excursions specifically marked with the ‘Worry-Free’ badge on Viator. When you use FindMyExcursions, we help match you with these eligible tours where available, so you can book with confidence knowing you're covered if unexpected delays occur.

What are the risks of booking with third-party providers?
When you book excursions independently (i.e., outside of the cruise line), you’re responsible for managing your time ashore. If you miss the ship’s departure, the cruise will not wait, and you’ll have to make your own way to the next port.
That’s why FindMyExcursions only features tours that fit within your port timings, with enough buffer to get you back in good time. Many also offer port pick-up/drop-off for added convenience and peace of mind. You get all the flexibility of third-party booking, with smart, cruise-specific filtering built in.
Will I get a refund if the ship doesn’t dock or our itinerary changes?
If your ship is unable to dock or your itinerary changes at short notice, most tour providers on Viator offer a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours in advance. However, cancellations within 24 hours usually aren't refundable. We recommend checking each tour’s cancellation policy before booking, as they can vary. Also, having comprehensive cruise travel insurance is key. Some policies may cover missed ports or excursions, but this usually depends on the circumstances and how much notice the cruise line provided. We’re not qualified to offer legal or financial advice so always check the fine print of your policy or speak to your insurer for specifics.
