🚢There are two cruise companies: Hurtigruten & Havila, they take turns sailing every day, the day I booked was Havila✅ 1️⃣ Hurtigruten: Booking in Norwegian on the official website is at least 2-3 times cheaper than booking in English 2️⃣ Havila: There is no difference in price between English and Norwegian bookings. The interior environment is newer than Hurtigruten. You can order meals together with the room booking. Breakfast, lunch and dinner cost nok520/person, but we didn't order three meals because we were on the boat for a short time. 🕰️Schedule: 🔁Svolvær to Tromsø The boat departs at 22:15 and arrives at 14:15 the next day 🔁Tromsø to Svolvær✅Our itinerary is this 23:30 Cruise ship docks and prepares to board (passport check-in) 01:30 departure; arrive at Svolvær at 18:30 🧳Luggage Storage: 1️⃣Tromsø Havn Prostneset (boarding location) There are lockers at the pier visitor center for a fee 2️⃣radical storage app There are several 7-11 stores in the center of Tromsø that offer storage. 3️⃣Hotel✅ The hotel we stayed in the day before was very close to the pier. After checking out, we left our luggage at the hotel front desk and picked it up at night. It was free. 💞Since there were only interior cabins (no windows & bunk beds) left when I booked, I could only book first and try my luck when I got on board to see if I could upgrade to a sea view room. As a result, I asked the lady when I checked in and it was successfully upgraded (+nok1200) I'm happy🥳 (Pictures 3-5) 💞Because we didn’t arrive in Svolvaer until 6:30pm the next day, the lady helped us to delay the check-out until 3pm, which was really great. Don’t be shy to ask more questions! No, it doesn't matter. 🛜There is free wifi in the room, turn on the TV to check the password 🎆Turn on the aurora notification on the landline phone (Figure 6). If there is an aurora, there will be a broadcast. However, because I went to bed at around 2 a.m. that night, I remember there was a broadcast in the middle of the night, but I was too sleepy to hear clearly what it said, so I didn't get up to watch it, and I don't know if there was an aurora that night. 💞There are cafes, souvenir shops, restaurants, and viewing areas on the 6th floor. The cafe provides bread, light meals, coffee, and drinks. They also sell goat milk ice cream, which feels very special. I bought it to try. It was so sexy that it sent me to heaven [cover my face R] 💞The bar on the 7th floor deck is open in the afternoon and sells freshly made brown cheese pancakes (42kr) (Picture 7) The hot and fragrant pancakes are spread with cream and two slices of brown cheese, super delicious! Later, when I wanted to order another one at around 5 o'clock, it was closed. So I bought a pancake from the cafe on the sixth floor, but it was not freshly made. It was cold and there was no brown cheese, but it was sold at the same price. 💞The view from the 9th floor deck is superb and spectacular. There are also sofas inside where you can sit by the window and enjoy the view. #Norway Travel #Norway Travel #Norway Scenery #Polar Cruise #Tromso #Lofoten Islands #Arctic Tour #Cruise Tour #Havila

Nevertheless, in spring, the island still burst into a celebration of colours with daisies in various shades of whites, lavenders, and purples. In local markets, potted flowers of kalanchoes are being sold. Whilst in corners, windowsills, fence posts, cafe tables, and roadsides, all are adorned with vases of daisies, forget-me-nots, chrysanthemums, hydrangeas.

#1月好去地方2025 The Lofoten Yumin Apartment where I stayed in Svolvær was right next to the pier, close to the bus stop and with beautiful views. If you stay here, you can sign up for a fishing trip in advance or rent a bicycle for a fee 🚴♀️ to ride to the beach to watch the sunset. The second floor of the guesthouse is an observation deck; if you don’t want to go anywhere and just want to relax, it’s also a blessing to see the tourists fishing in and out of the observation deck pier or going out to fish! 💞Recommendation reason: Jingmei has complete facilities

#JanuaryGoodDestinations2025 Svolvær is actually the largest "city" in the Lofoten Islands. It has a spectacular geographical location between the mountains and the sea and a rich city life. It is one of the attractions that tourists traveling to Norway will definitely arrange. This time we were arranged to stay at the Lofoten Fishermen's Apartments in Svolvær (Norwegian: Svolvær); the apartment is next to the main road and has a large free parking lot. The apartment is clean and has a beautiful view. You can see the sea view while sitting on the bed 🛏️. There are picnic tables and chairs outside the apartment 🪑. You can drink tea 🫖 and chat at sunrise and sunset 🌄, watching the ever-changing sea of ​​clouds. It's really a blessing 😊. The bright red stilt apartment buildings face the sea, and the reflections of the buildings on the sea are very beautiful. The spacious public space has sauna (Finnish sauna) facilities😯!
