Norwegian Cruising Guide

Volume 2 – Bergen to Bodø

8th Edition – Updated 2023 – Republished 2026

The essential sailing guide and pilot book for cruising the Norwegian coast.

Volume 2 of the Norwegian Cruising Guide covers Norway from Bergen to Bodø, providing detailed harbour information, anchorages, charts and practical navigation guidance for recreational sailors and yacht cruisers.

This comprehensive cruising guide is part of a four-volume series covering the entire Norwegian coastline, Svalbard and Jan Mayen.

The series contains:

• Detailed descriptions of harbours and anchorages along the southern and western Norwegian coast

• Local navigation advice for fjords, skerries, tidal waters and exposed passages

• Over 1 500 maps, sketch charts and photographs across the series

• More than 1 000 harbours and anchorages described in detail

• Waypoint files for use with chart plotters and marine navigation software

• Continuously updated content maintained since 1978

• Written by experienced Norwegian sailors with over 50 years of coastal cruising knowledge

This is a practical pilot guide for sailors — not a coffee-table photo book. It is designed to support real-world passage planning, harbour selection, and safe coastal navigation in Norway’s challenging and beautiful waters.

Ideal for:

• Sailing yachts cruising Norway

• Bluewater sailors planning a North Sea or Scandinavian voyage

• Skippers preparing for extended coastal cruising

• Sailors continuing north toward Lofoten, Tromsø or Svalbard
