Torghatten on the island of Torget is a fascinating natural wonder on the Norwegian Helgeland coast and is world-famous for its legendary mountain with its distinctive rock hole. The untouched landscape and the fresh sea breeze create a mystical atmosphere that delights hikers and nature lovers alike.

Brønnøysund is situated on the picturesque coastal road Fv17, also known as the Helgeland Norwegian Scenic Route.

Pre-Cruise Hotel
For a relaxed embarkation, especially after long journeys from the DACH region, an overnight stay in Brønnøysund on the previous day is highly recommended. The town offers charming hotels such as the Thon Hotel Brønnøysund or the Corner Hotell, which often provide a good starting point for exploration and free parking. This way, you start your cruise adventure along the Norwegian coast well-rested.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that your travel documents usually include a fixed time slot for check-in, which is mandatory for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for your journey to the port and consider that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the voyage: for shore excursions, you should be back on board no later than one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the current announcements and notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
