Ports

Bodø is a town in Norway, located north of the Arctic Circle. Bodø is home to the world’s strongest maelstrom. The city is perfect for outdoor activities like walking, kayaking, diving and fishing, but also for climbing and hiking in the mountain range. Besides of impressing nature, you find there lively urban scene with shopping centres and diverse choice of cultural activities.

Shetland is a Scottish archipelago, with traces of human activity dating back to 4.000 b.c. With so much (pre)history it’s no wonder that there are many archeological sites. Visit the Broch of Mousa, Scalloway Castle & Museum or walk in the Vikings’ footsteps and learn about this fascinating culture. If you’re a nature-loving Windseeker, Shetland has a lot to offer you, including hiking trips and wildlife watching. And you will, of course, meet a lot of famous Shetland Ponies!

Haugesund is a town and municipality in Rogaland county, Norway with a history of herring fishing. The town is surrounded by several parks and recreational areas, perfect for getting a taste of Norway’s nature. Visit the Nordvegen History Centre and Viking Settlement open-air museum and learn about the fascinating history of Vikings. Go to the Karmsund Folkemuseum and take a walk along the Haraldsgata street for a real feel of this small town’s life.
