Queen Anne: 12-Night from Southampton - October 13, 2026

You'll have 10 hours hours to explore Alesund, Norway, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM - a solid full day ashore. That's enough for 2-3 attractions and a sit-down lunch without rushing. Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. Pack comfortable walking shoes for cobblestones and viewpoints.

Your cruise ends in Tromso, Norway, where the Queen Anne is scheduled to dock at 10:00 AM. With over 2,000 passengers, disembarkation groups are called over a one to two hour window - once your group is called, you'll be off in about 15 minutes. Self-assist lets you walk off first. Book your flight at least five hours after the ship's scheduled arrival. Dress in layers to handle changing Arctic conditions, bring waterproof and warm clothing, carry binoculars for wildlife and northern lights viewing, and book excursions in advance to secure spots.

Your cruise departs from Tromso, Norway on the Queen Anne, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait.

Tromso boasts lively festivals, fascinating history, and local Sami heritage.

The Queen Anne will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Stavanger, Norway. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Take a guided or self-guided hike to the world-famous Preikestolen cliff for breathtaking panoramic views over Lysefjord.
