See Baltic, Scandinavia and Norways breathtaking scenery and natural wonders
If you take a cruise with a stop in Norway, you will have the opportunity to visit the lovely port town of Risor. As they make their way through Norway and the Norwagian Fjords, a number of cruise lines make a stop at Risor as part of their itineraries. Cruises to Risor take passengers into a bustling small town that is home to a plethora of cultural sites and has a warm and inviting vibe.
Risor is a city and municipality in Aust-Agder county, Norway, and is a well-preserved beachfront town between Kristiansand and Oslo. Srlandet is the traditional region of the city, with a long history of sailing ships and lumber exports in the late 18th century. Art and craftsmanship are now well-known in Risor. This coastal hamlet is a heritage-protected wooden town with cultural festivals, a huge archipelago, and a long tradition of constructing wooden boats.
Risor is a popular tourist destination. Zodiac ferries sail across the Strangholmen skerry, and kayaking near one of the “potholes” or small lagoons may be an unforgettable experience. On Strangholmen, a peaceful outdoor seafood meal with a Norwegian folk music performance awaits. The settlement is known as “Den hvite by ved Skagerak” because of the white wooden house in the center. “Det Lille Hotell” is a nice place to stay in Risor. They provide beautiful apartments with fully furnished kitchens for self-catering at a very reasonable price.
