Classic Norwegian Fjords
This visit to Norway’s fjordland in the spring is a chance to experience the unique seasonal wonder of some of the region’s most scenic waterways and landscapes. You’ll be taken on special diversions into Maurangerfjord, to witness Fureberg Waterfall when it is at its most powerful; Nordfjord to see North Europe’s tallest sea cliff; and between the imposing cliffs and mountains of UNESCO-listed Naeroyfjord. Journeys along Hardangerfjord and Sognefjord will bring scenes of rugged, verdant valleys into view.
There are opportunities for memorable experiences ashore too. From Olden, see the glistening ice of Briksdal Glacier on tour, or perhaps ride the Loen Skylift for panoramic views of Nordfjord. Eidfjord is the starting point for discovering sights such as Vøringsfossen, one of Norway’s most famous waterfalls, and for fjord kayaking experiences on the glassy waters of Hardangerfjord. At Flam, you could ride the famous Flambana Railway into the surrounding mountains to see rock formations and waterfalls up-close. Ride the Floyen Railway in Bergen too, and enjoy a hike with a local to see the city ‘through their eyes’, or simply take time to discover highlights such as the Bryggen Wharf.
