Overview
Spend a full day moving from Bergen into the heart of Norway’s fjord country: a Viking village on the shoreline, an electric cruise through UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord, and the steep, scenic Flåm Railway. This private tour compresses culture, geology, and rail engineering into an 11-hour loop.
Naeroyfjord Cruise, Viking Village & Flåm Railway: Private Day Tour from Bergen
Select participants and date
A morning in western Norway begins with a stretch of highway that opens like a map—steep ridgelines, compact farms, and the occasional waterfall that drills a white line down dark rock. The private transfer from Bergen rolls inland toward Voss; windows frame a landscape that moves from coastal fjord to alpine plateau. At Tvindefossen the tour pauses: the falls drop roughly 110 meters, strands of water fanning over mossy ledges, and for a few minutes the day feels measured in spray and light.

Adventure Tips
Bring a waterproof outer layer
Coastal and mountain weather can change quickly—pack a breathable rain jacket for deck time on the fjord and near waterfalls.
Charge your camera and phone
There are numerous photo stops (fjord narrowing, Kjosfossen, Stalheim view); spare battery and storage cards keep you shooting.
Wear grippy footwear
Short walks at Njardarheimr, boat decks, and Flåm stations mean non-slip shoes with good traction are useful.
Plan for a long day
The tour runs about 11 hours with multiple transfers—bring snacks, water, and any motion-sickness remedies for sea legs on the fjord.
Local Insights
Wildlife
- White-tailed sea eagles

History
The Flåm Railway was completed in 1940 to connect the Sogn region to the Bergen Line; Gudvangen’s Viking village recreates coastal Norse life for modern visitors.
Conservation
The cruise uses electric vessels to minimize noise and emissions in the narrow fjord; visitors are encouraged to follow marked paths and avoid disturbing shoreline habitats.
