Travel tips for the Norwegian Fjords

Norwegian Fjords – Travel tips

The best way to visit the Norwegian fjords is by joining a fjord cruise package based on eco-friendly travel by local transport. The trips include all transport & hotels en route, amazing fjord cruises and spectacular train rides such as the Flam Railway & the Bergen Line. Most of the trips start in Oslo, but there are also trips starting in Bergen. The trips are independent (you will travel like a local, not with a group).

You can choose between trips with day fjord cruises & overnight at hotels, or trips with overnight cruises on Hurtigruten ships.

What our customers say:

We just recently completed the Tromso, Northern Lights & Arctic Coast tour. I am writing to say what an amazing tour we had. Everything ran smoothly without an issue, the accommodation was fantastic and the tours were brilliant. We cannot fault the package at all. I would also like to thank Franziska and Lene, they both were fantastic in answering all my questions promptly, whilst booking the tour. Thank you for a wonderful and memorable holiday!

Robert, Australia
Thank you for assisting us with our trip to Norway. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Kirkenes and the Snow Hotel. The arrangements you made for us were perfect. The lodging was comfortable and the excursions were fun. Tom and I rarely use the services of a travel company when we travel; you enriched our trip and made the planning easy.

Alison, United States
I wanted to thank everybody. We had a wonderful trip. Everything went well and fortunately we had the chance to see the lights while on the cruise. All my friends in Turkey would like to go on a similar trip. So I will be in touch with you. Thanks again and best wishes to all of you.
