Fjord Days · BERGEN FJORD TOURS
Bergen is the easiest fjord city in Norway: the boats leave from a quay you can walk to. The 15 below cover the Mostraumen half-day, the long Nærøyfjord run with the Flåm Railway, and the RIB trips, with prices and how long you are gone.
Board Rødne Fjord Cruise at Bergen’s Fish Market for a 3.5-hour round trip through Osterfjord. You’ll pass Bryggen, approach a waterfall, and feel the current at Mostraumen. English and Norwegian audio commentary, indoor seating, a sun deck, toilets, and a kiosk are available onboard.
“It was a great experience , the crew was great and it was one of greatest moment in my life”
Cruise from central Bergen through Cityfjord, Salhusfjord, and the 27-kilometer Osterfjord to the narrow Mostraumen Channel. English commentary, indoor seating, outdoor decks, toilets, and snacks for purchase make this a practical 3.5 to 4-hour fjord trip in any season.
“Your app was co fusing and I ended up buying two sets of tickets and you would not refund one set, so I am stuck with a coupon I have to figure out how to make use of.”
Set out from Bergen’s Zachariasbryggen for a 3.5-hour cruise toward Modalen. An English-speaking guide, possibly Laura, Frode, or Raul, explains Bergen, Viking country, and the fjords while you watch for waterfalls and narrow Mostraumen. Waffles and hot drinks are sold onboard.
“Excellent fjord cruise tour. We were lucky and had beautiful sunshine so the views were really breathtaking! Comfortable seats and good service at the bar for hot chocolate and waffles. It did get a little crowded on the top deck when people were outside taking photos but this fjord cruise was really a highlight of our holiday. Would definitely recommend.”
Spend about 10.5 hours moving by coach, electric ferry, and train from Bergen through Norway’s fjord country. Visit Njardarheimr Viking village, cruise the Nærøyfjord aboard Future of the Fjords, and ride the Flåm Railway with guides such as Michael, Linda, Maria, or Tracy.
“This was a wonderful, well-organized day. I am so impressed with how well it was planned and how our guide, Michael, and driver, Linda, cheerfully and skillfully let us through it. Michael is an awesome guide - funny, warm, informative, and attentive to the scheduling. The morning drive passed by stunning scenery. The Viking Village was amazing - it truly put you in the footsteps of 1,300 years ago. The fjord tour was terrific - the boat was great with plenty of room for all despite being quite full and the views were breathtaking. The trainride from Flam was again beautiful and had a funny surprise! Pay attention to Michael’s…”

“It is very rainy in Bergen and the surrounding areas but don't let this stop you. The rain comes and goes. During our trip the weather ranged from just cloudy, to heavy rain to sunshine. The boat we traveled on had plenty of room inside and there were huge windows on either side ant at the front of the boat. There was also plenty of room outside when we wanted to be outside. There were times when it seemed like you could just reach out a tough the cliffs plunging into the sea, This 4 hour trip was well worth doing. I'd”

“The scenery was beautiful and the boat trip was on relatively open water giving a different view of the area compared to Bergen and the fjords. Rosendal was a pretty little town with a nice walking trail.”

“Without a doubt, Bergen’s landscape is absolutely stunning. This trip really gives you a great sense of what Bergen and its surroundings look like. There was quite a bit of driving involved, but the coach was very comfortable and the scenic views made it worthwhile. We had a few short rest stops of about 5–15 minutes, and a longer break at an apple farm—which, by the way, served the most amazing apple pie! The highlight of the trip is the waterfall—absolutely breathtaking and well worth the journey. Saving the best for last, our tour guide Maria was a true star. Despite the long journey, she kept us engaged with fascinating…”
