Cruising Lysefjord / Pulpit Rock, Norway
Remarkable landscapes of Lysefjord. Today, we'll sail down 25-mile-long Lysefjord.

From the fjord we can take a peek from below at the world-famous Pulpit Rock - Preikestolen - and look out for the equally renowned Kjeragbolten, a giant boulder that seems precariously wedged into a mountain crevasse. If you're feeling adventurous, join the Expedition Team for small expedition boat cruising or kayaking and see the immense fjord from a new perspective. ... Read More
