Private Premium Nærøyfjord Cruise and Flåm Railway from Bergen
Select participants and date
You step out of the car before dawn on a quiet street in Bergen and the guide nods toward the fjord road, where mist clings low to the valley like a shroud. The highway climbs, revealing a sequence of ravines and waterfalls; at Tvinde Waterfall you feel the spray—cold and immediate—on your face. By mid-morning the electric hull of the Future of the Fjords cuts a silent line through the Nærøyfjord, the water daring you to lean farther over the rail as cliffs press close and waterfalls thread down sheer rock.

Adventure Tips
Dress in layers
Even in summer, fjord winds and elevation changes make temperature unpredictable—pack a windproof outer layer.
Bring motion-sickness aid
The fjord cruise is calm but narrow passages and close cliffs can unsettle sensitive travelers—consider medication or acupressure bands.
Charge your camera and phone
Long stretches without charging points—bring a power bank for photos on deck and the Flåm Railway stops.
Arrive early for the best seats
On the Future of the Fjords and Flåm Railway, early boarding gets clearer views and better photo angles.
