Härnösand & the High Coast welcome you

A warm welcome. Authentic experiences. One local partner taking care of everything.

The High Coast is renowned for its warm hospitality – and our cruise guests are no exception. What makes our destination special is the close cooperation between local businesses and public organisations, working together with Höga Kusten Turism (High Coast Tourism), the tourism industry’s own organisation in the region.

Together, we make sure every guest feels welcome from the moment they step ashore in Härnösand. Independent travellers are given the information and inspiration they need to explore the city and its surroundings, while guests joining an organised shore excursion are welcomed and guided directly to their coaches.

Our shore excursions are tailor-made for each port call, drawing on more than ten years of experience in understanding what cruise guests value and enjoy. We focus on genuine local experiences, personal encounters and the stories that make our region unique. And throughout the journey, the spectacular scenery of the UNESCO World Heritage High Coast becomes part of the experience – often beginning with the views from the coach window.

Booking with us is easy – one contact, and we take care of the rest.

We coordinate the entire shore experience for your guests, including coaches, professional guides, meals, entrance fees and local activities. Everything is arranged through one local partner and brought together on one invoice, with pricing agreed in advance in dialogue with you.

Our local network allows us to create experiences that are both professional and personal – connecting your guests with the people, places, flavours, nature and stories of the High Coast.

Welcome to Härnösand and the High Coast.

hamnen

 

Härnösand harbor

The harbor is located in the centre of Härnösand, just a ten-minute walk from the city centre (800m), with easy access to the E4 motorway. The conditions in Härnösand harbor are the best imaginable, even for larger and deeper vessels, as the entrance is short, wide, deep and safe. Thanks to favorable currents and a short and straight fairway, the port is ice-free for a long time, even during the winter months.
