From the Haugesund cruise pier, ride a modern coach across Karmøy with a local guide. See Visnes and its Statue of Liberty link, breathe in the sea air at Åkrasanden, wander Skudeneshavn’s white wooden streets, and stop at St. Olav’s Church. Guides such as Darlene add local stories, music, and occasional Norwegian food samples.

“Darlene was a kick. She took out an accordion to play familiar tunes. Some passengers sang together. That was special. Also she bought everyone a Norwegian ‘delicacy’ - sort of fish cake. The famous pancake in town is worth trying.”
