The Lofoten Islands cruise in Norway

Check-in on the yacht in Svolvær marina

Svolvær is an ancient and the most populated city of the Lofoten Islands, as well as a local administrative center. It is a beautiful city, especially when you look at it from the heights of the mountains surrounding it from all sides. The city consists of many small islands interconnected by elegant bridges, viaducts, and houses painted in bright colors. Gradually, the local fishing industry is losing ground to tourism, because it is from here that numerous tourist routes to the Lofoten Islands start.
