HAREID PORT
Cruise
Welcome to Hareid, the «Explorer`s Port». Hareids history is closely linked to pioneering activities, both locally and in the surrounding areas. There are strong references to the Viking age and in more recent time also vast references to exploration and business activities in artic waters. In fact, the town Ny-Ålesund on Svalbard was formerly called Brandal City, named after the small village Brandal in the muicipality of Hareid.
Today Hareid is a modern and active small-town where you will find whatever you may expect to find in a small town on the western coast of Norway. All the city functions are concentrated downtown, where you will find restaurants, grocery stores, pharmacy and small stores for clothes, sports equipment, bakery, and souvenirs. All easily accessible from the harbour.
There are also all sorts of excursion possibilities, both locally and in the near surroundings of the city-center.
Cruise quays
Cruise quays in Hareid are located in the village center. Whoever comes here will find all central city features easily accessible from the cruise docks. Hareid is a central traffic hub with bus and taxi central close to the ferry and express boat terminals. There is access to two airports which are respectively approx. 30 and 45 minutes away. The view of the fjord and the mountains is magnificent and the Hareid panorama can take your breath away regardless of the season. Hareid has a lot to offer. Welcome to Hareid Explorer`s Port!
Currently we have one quay that can accommodate medium-sized cruise ships. And in addition we have a tender quay if one should prefer to anchor in the bay close to the village.
