Overview
The Sognefjord is the world's longest and deepest fjord at 205km long and 1,308m deep, and cruises from Bergen explore it. The Norway in a Nutshell package departs Bergen and travels via Voss, Flåm, Myrdal, and Gudvangen, taking in the narrow Nærøyfjord (UNESCO World Heritage), waterfalls, and mountain villages. A 1-day route can also continue to Oslo — Norway's premier nature journey. 1-day route about NOK 1,500-2,200 (EUR 130-190). Departs from Bergen Central Station by train.
Opening Hours
1-day route: 08:00-20:00 (varies seasonally; advance booking essential).
Travel Tips
Pre-book the Norway in a Nutshell package for convenience. Summer (June-August) is best, but snow-covered winter fjords are magical too.
