43m M/Y DAYDREAM is available for charter with Ocean Independence. As her Captain Damion Moses explains, the 43 metre Christensen yacht DAYDREAM has spent six seasons cruising Norway’s stunning waterways. "The yacht is the ideal charter yacht for the region, a perfect floating hotel, suitable for any kind of guest, young people, families, kids...There’s so much to do in Norway and discovering this landscape by yacht is the most efficient way to be completely embraced by nature".
Be brave, challenge your sporty side. A delicious dinner will be ready for you following the conclusions of all daytime activities!
On the final day, after breakfast, you will have the opportunity to discover the fascinating island of Mosterøy, only a 1.5 hours cruise from Jørpeland. You will be able to visit the Utstein Monastery and immerse yourself in its fascinating history, originating from Viking days. Then take a walk around the area to soak up the beautiful and peaceful surroundings. If you still feel charged, go for a bike ride or take a walk ashore from DAYDREAM's anchorage. Lunch will be served on board as the yacht heads back to Stavanger, ready for your flight back home.
The crew is often what make a big difference in any kind of charter experience. Captain Damion has spent considerable time in Norway and knows the area very well. With the help of the knowledgeable crew, he can guide you towards great anchorages and suggest the best activities according to the weather conditions. The Norwegian summer weather is often quite stable, and the temperatures are pleasant both on land and at sea. The days are long in Norway during the summer season, so a vacation in Norway is not a traditional one, as is expected in the regular Med destinations. The pleasure of this vacation will be in all the activities you and your family and friends can be involved in together. And do not forget this is the land of Trolls, get ready with your camera, you might see some magical creature suddenly appear in the scenery!
The Taste of Norway 3-day itinerary is weather dependent. All the activities are approximate and not guaranteed, but Norway is packed full of places that are worth discovering.
Whether a sunny day or in case of rain, you can embark on a journey to an enchanting island with exotic gardens, for an experience that that will delight your senses. Blossoming gardens full of exotic plants and palm trees are waiting for you at Flor & Fjære, on the island of Sør- Hidle outside of Stavanger, where Queen Sonja of Norway celebrated her 70th birthday. The gardens and restaurant opened to the public in 1995, hosting two tours per day during their season from the beginning of May until the end of September. The island is visited by over 30,000 guests each year and functions as a popular tourist site, complete with a garden tour and lunch/ dinner in the on-island restaurant.
