Sognefjord cruise and Flåm railway tour: The ultimate Norwegian journey
This 4-day Norway fjord tour combines three of Norway's most celebrated travel experiences: the UNESCO-listed Bryggen district in Bergen, a Sognefjord cruise through Norway's longest fjord, and scenic railway travel on two iconic train lines.
Your Norway train and cruise package begins in historic Bergen, continues with a Sognefjord cruise through the "King of the Fjords," and features the famous Flåm railway tour with dramatic mountain views descending 863 meters. The Bergen line scenic train completes your journey across Europe's largest mountain plateau to Oslo. This Flåm railway and fjord cruise delivers Norway's most iconic landscapes through perfectly timed connections - no planning stress, just unforgettable Norwegian moments.
Norwegian summers book faster than you can say "fjord" – grab your spot!
4 day itinerary
Welcome to Bergen - your city for the two first days
Sunset view from the viewpoint at Mount Fløyen.
Welcome to Bergen
Touch down in Bergen and check into your centrally located hotel in this coastal town. Read our guide on how to travel to your hotel. Nestled by the Bergen Byfjord, this city is a harmonious blend of natural beauty and urban charm.
This isn't just any city – it's Norway's fjord capital, where colorful Bryggen wharf houses (UNESCO World Heritage, no big deal) create the perfect backdrop for your adventure.
Wander the cobblestones, ride the Fløibanen funicular for killer views, or dive into the Fish Market where locals have been haggling over halibut since forever. Pro tip: The sunset from Mount Fløyen is absolutely worth missing dinner for (but don't worry, Bergen's restaurants stay open late).
Accommodation
1 night in Bergen

Full day to enjoy Bergen
Wake up to a Bergen morning and make it yours. Feel like channelling your inner Viking? Optional Bergen to Flam train cruise prep with a Mostraumen fjord cruise gets you warmed up for tomorrow's main event. Or splurge on dinner at Cornelius – a seafood restaurant on its own island where the chefs literally catch your dinner themselves (talk about farm-to-table... or sea-to-table?). Whatever you choose, Bergen's got your back with enough charm to fill a thousand postcards.
The optional add-ons (including prices) will be available during the checkout process, allowing you to tailor your Bergen experience to your preferences.

The epic journey - fjords, rails & mountain trails
Early bird catches the fjord! Your express boat glides along the coast before diving into the legendary Sognefjord cruise – the longest and deepest fjord in Norway (we don't do things halfway here). Dock in tiny Flåm, then immediately hop on the world-famous Flam railway tour – 20 kilometres of "how-did-they-even-build-this" engineering that climbs 863 meters through valleys that'll make your jaw drop.
At Myrdal, switch to the Bergen line scenic train for the grand finale to Oslo. You'll cross the Hardangervidda plateau (Europe's largest mountain plateau – again, we don't do small) and roll through valleys where trolls definitely used to live. Arrive in Oslo ready to swap fjord tales for city lights.
Upon arrival in Oslo, check into a centrally located hotel, where you will spend the next two nights. Whether you choose to relax at your hotel or explore the city's vibrant dining scene, Oslo welcomes you with open arms and endless possibilities for enjoyment.

Want more? Add an optional Oslofjord cruise to see how the capital does fjords (spoiler: pretty impressively). The Norway fjord tour 4 days wraps up tomorrow morning after breakfast – just enough time to promise yourself you'll be back.
