Super Busy Day in Lofoten 罗弗敦群岛
July 11, 2026
We docked at Stokmarknes at 8:00 a.m. for a two-hour visit, giving us just enough time to explore the Hurtigruten Museum. Stokmarknes is the birthplace of Hurtigruten, and the museum's centerpiece is MS Finnmarken (1956), permanently preserved inside a striking glass building like a ship in a bottle. The museum also features a restored lounge from DS Finnmarken (1912), allowing visitors to compare two generations of Hurtigruten travel. Walking through the historic ship gave us a real appreciation for how ship design, passenger comfort, and onboard standards have evolved over the decades.
After leaving Stokmarknes, we sailed through some of northern Norway's most spectacular scenery, including the famous Trollfjord. Although the fjord is only about 2 kilometers long, its entrance is just 100 meters wide. Our ship made a special detour into the fjord before performing a graceful turnaround. At times, we passed so close to the towering cliffs that it felt as though we could reach out and touch the rock. Cruising through Trollfjord was truly one of the highlights of the voyage. The delicious fish soup was served on the deck.
Our second stop was Svolvær, the largest town in the Lofoten Islands. I joined a RIB sea eagle safari. Riding in the front of the high-speed RIB was exhilarating—and quite bumpy at times. The boat stopped among several small islands, where we watched majestic white-tailed sea eagles soaring overhead before swooping down to snatch fish that our guide tossed into the water, while countless seagulls competed for the same meal. The combination of dramatic scenery, high-speed boating, and close encounters with wildlife made for a fantastic excursion.
That evening, the ship hosted a watch party for the Norway–England football match. I stayed until the final whistle at 1:30 a.m. the next day. Although I was disappointed to see Norway lose, it was still a fun evening. Watching the match with fellow passengers made for a lively and memorable end to an action-packed day.

上午8点，我们抵达斯托克马克内斯（Stokmarknes），只停靠两小时，刚好足够时间参观赫蒂鲁滕博物馆（Hurtigruten Museum）。斯托克马克内斯是我们这次乘坐的赫蒂鲁滕邮轮公司的发源地，博物馆就建在码头旁边，里面最引人注目的展品，是1956年建造的MS Finnmarken号。它被永久保存于一座巨大的玻璃建筑内，宛如一艘装在玻璃瓶中的船。馆内还陈列着1912年DS Finnmarken号复原的沙龙，让游客能够比较相隔四十多年的两代赫蒂鲁滕客轮。漫步于这艘历史悠久的邮轮之中，让我们真切感受到船舶设计、旅客舒适度以及船上设施在几十年间的不断演变。
离开斯托克马克内斯后，邮轮驶入挪威北部最壮丽的峡湾风光，其中最著名的便是巨魔峡湾（Trollfjord）。这条峡湾全长仅约2公里，入口最窄处只有100米宽。邮轮特意绕道驶入峡湾深处，再优雅地调头驶出。有几次船身几乎贴着峭壁缓缓前行，近得仿佛伸手就能触摸到岩壁。在船顶层，厨房还提供热腾腾的魚汤，很好喝，每人要二杯。能够乘船深入巨魔峡湾，无疑是这趟航程最精彩、最令人难忘的体验之一。
下午，我们抵达罗弗敦群岛最大的城镇——斯沃尔韦尔（Svolvær）。佩民照旧下船自由行，我则参加了高速橡皮艇（RIB）海鹰观赏之旅。坐在高速飞驰的橡皮艇前排，既刺激又十分颠簸。快艇驶入几座小岛之间停下，我们静静等待白尾海雕出现。不久，导游将鱼抛入海中，只见一只只白尾海雕从高空盘旋而下，以惊人的速度俯冲入水，精准地抓起鱼儿，而成群的海鸥也纷纷加入抢食，场面十分壮观。壮丽的海岸风光、高速驰骋的快艇，以及近距离观赏野生动物的机会，共同组成了一次精彩难忘的旅程。回到码头，佩民已在那里等我，送上一杯热拿铁，然后又一起去看了二处她已看过觉得还不错的景点。当地著名的羊角石（Svolværgeita）。远远望去，可以看到攀岩者在两座羊角之间穿梭攀爬，令人惊叹
晚上，邮轮举办了挪威对英格兰世界杯四分之一决赛的观赛活动。我一直看到第二天凌晨1点30分比赛结束。虽然挪威队最终以一球之差惜败，无缘四强，但能与船上的游客一起观赛、一起欢呼喝彩，共同感受比赛跌宕起伏的气氛，依然让我度过了一个愉快的夜晚。
