Geirangerfjord Waterfall Cruise, Geiranger

Overview

Embark on a scenic fjord cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage Site Geirangerfjord. This 9-mile (15-km) stretch offers an incredible introduction to Norway’s famed fjord scenery. You’ll pass high mountains and spot abandoned farms that seem to cling to hillsides. 

As you cruise from Geiranger to Hellesylt and back, you’ll view three of the area’s most popular waterfalls. Enjoy the stunning Knivsflå (Seven Sisters), Friaren (Suitor), and Brudesløret (Bridal Veil) cascades that rush over steep, rocky cliffs and plunge into the fjord. As you start your return, keep an eye out for area wildlife, as many birds and porpoises call the region home.
