Round Trip Fjord Cruise Bergen to Mostraumen, Bergen

Overview

If you're in Bergen, you can easily explore some of the region’s best scenery by visiting the Hordaland area. This fjord cruise starts in Bergen and sails through Osterfjord. You’ll venture deep into the fjord, passing steep mountains, powerful waterfalls, and colorful villages. Enjoy the views from inside the heated cabin with panoramic windows or on one of the sundecks. 

Once you reach the small settlement of Modalen, which houses about 380 residents, you’ll turn around and head back to Bergen. As you sail through Mostraumen Strait, the boat will make a quick stop at one of the waterfalls. Your captain will bring the bow right to the edge of the cascade’s spray, allowing you to feel and sample the refreshing and clean mountain water.

We did the Oslo cruise and the Bergen cruise. The one in Bergen was more impressive in terms of the views as you get up close and "personal" with the Fjords. It was also snowing for part of the cruise, so it felt really nice to see the views as the snow was falling. If you only had to do one, I would pick the one in Bergen. Read more

Tips for future travelers

Get there early!!! There's only a few window seats if you want to be inside and protected from the cold!

The views from this cruise were some of the prettiest views I have ever seen. The captain made sure to slow the boat down and get up close to waterfalls and scenery he knew everyone would want pictures with. Read more

Cruise was very comfortable and some great views of the near by village, Bergen bryggen and water falls along the way. Ship was comfortable with ample space on the deck and inside heated cabin. Restrooms were there too. They had a cafe with lots of food and drink options. The crew gave a treasure hunt/bingo for kids to spot and gave ice creams. Only improvement would be better windows for the inside cabin for better view. Read more

Tips for future travelers

This is perfect if you want mix of staying warm and getting out on deck as needed. Not super pricey but its a large group experience.
