NORDWEST

Explore North Albania
with NordWest

Nord West Cruise is a professional and fully licensed tour operator specializing in premium passenger boat cruises and combined travel experiences across Komani Lake — one of the most scenic and unspoiled destinations in Albania and the Balkan region.
Our mission is to provide safe, comfortable, and well-organized journeys through the dramatic landscapes of northern Albania, combining scenic navigation, professional service, and reliable logistics.
With a strong focus on quality, safety, and passenger experience, Nord West Cruise has become a trusted choice for travelers looking for a Komani Lake cruise, a Koman–Fierze boat transfer, a Shala River boat tour, or a complete Shkoder–Valbone travel package with a single booking.

Premium Komani Lake Boat Experiences

Our routes pass through the impressive canyons, steep mountain slopes, and emerald waters of Komani Lake — often compared to Scandinavian fjords for their natural beauty.
Each journey is designed to be more than transportation; it is a scenic cruise offering panoramic views, photo opportunities, and a calm connection with Albania’s wild nature.
Whether you choose a Koman–Fierze boat transfer, a Koman–Shala River cruise, or a full-day journey from Shkoder to Valbone, every route is carefully planned to ensure smooth travel, punctual departures, and passenger comfort.

Passenger-Only Boat & Professional Crew

Nord West Cruise operates a passenger-only vessel with a capacity of approximately 100 passengers, dedicated exclusively to this route — no cargo and no heavy loads.
The boat is designed for stability, space, and comfort on Komani Lake and is maintained according to strict technical and safety standards.
For your safety and peace of mind:
• Life jackets available for every passenger
• Licensed and experienced captains and crew
• Regular technical inspections and safety checks
• Clear safety briefings before each departure
Safety is not optional — it is our highest priority.
