“We had already hiked to Pulpit Rock the previous day. But taking the cruise was well worth it with much different views, and much less strenuous! While the option to sit inside was there, most moved freely on deck for photo ops. Beautiful scenery! Cruise was A+++ and a must.”
Half-day Bergen fjord cruise to Modalen via Bryggen and Mostraumen tidal stream, with an English guide and homemade waffles onboard.
“We had a wonderful time on our cruise yesterday. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and we enjoyed every minute. The cabin inside was a great place to warm up after the wind and rain on the deck became too much, but we still spent most of our time on deck. Wear plenty of layers and head/face covering if wind and rain is forecast to fully enjoy the views up top!”
A 4-hour fjord cruise from Bergen to Mostraumen, with passing sights like Bryggen and Nordhordland Bridge plus warm onboard comfort.
“We didn’t get the email informing us of a cancellation of or tour as we are on a ship and have no wifi. It cost us $50.00 in taxi fees to get to the dock. When we arrived our party of 7 and another couple could not find any notifications or a sign that we were in the right area. Very disappointed.”
Sail Oslo Fjord for 2 hours on a traditional ship, with blankets, English audio, an Oslo Fjord Guide app, and options to pair with Bygdøy museums.
“The cruise itself was informative and we saw sights that the normal traveler might not see. The 2-hour time was perfect. However, while the old-style ship was interesting (we sat on top aft ship) we found the upkeep to be somewhat lacking. Chairs were broken and felt unsafe and there trash (cigarette butts, paper) strewn about the deck.”
See Oslo in one day with Holmenkollen, Vigeland, Fram Museum, and a fjord cruise, plus Folk or Kon-Tiki by season.
“Day trip was great, the guided tour of multiple historic sites was fun and eye opening. Both the driver and the guide were very accomodating and friendly and made it all seamless. Would reccomend!”
Bergen to Flåm and UNESCO Nærøyfjord on a 2 hour fjord cruise, plus Stegastein, Tvindefossen, and included lunch.
“We had the most beautiful, fascinating, and entertaining day with Jan (guide) & Jan (driver). The fjord cruise tour is not only breathtakingly spectacular but waterfall along the way, and Stegastein are amazing. In addition to the natural beauty, Jan keeps you engaged, informed, inspired and laughing throughout the entire journey. We will definitely be back to Bergen and the fjords when we do we’ll contact Jan for another adventure. His charm, knowledge, and enthusiasm exceeded our expectations of the experience! Tusen takk, Jan2!”
