So you’ve got your sights set on one of our Discover More city breaks to Bergen? With all the usual package perks, like your hotel, flights and transfers, as well as an all-day Norwegian fjords tour included in your trip, we don’t blame you! Let’s dive a little deeper into what you’ll get up to you on the tour...

First stop, Flåm

It’ll be an early start as you get ready to head out of the city, towards the town of Flåm and its famous railway. Take your pick of the available seats in the vintage-style compartments and prepare to be blown away by the staggering scenery. It’s described as one of the world’s most beautiful train journeys, after all! You’ll whizz through 20 tunnels as you head up to 867 metres above sea level at Myrdal Station. As you get higher and higher, you’ll see fewer green valleys and more snow-capped peaks. The train will make a stop at the magical Kjosfossen waterfall too, where you might be able to hear a singing Huldra (a forest spirit from local folklore). Then, you’ll have some free time back in Flåm to buy lunch before the adventure continues.

All aboard

Next, you’ll swap the train for a zero-emission boat as you set off along the fjords. As it’s powered by electricity, it’s incredibly quiet, so you can really soak up the peaceful surroundings. For the best views, try and grab a spot on the top-deck, but there’s plenty of seating inside too. You’ll sail through the Aurlandsfjord and into the UNESCO-stamped Nærøyfjord, the narrowest in Europe. Look out for thundering waterfalls and the small farms which pepper the mountainsides. Feeling peckish? Light meals, snacks and hot and cold beverages are available to buy onboard. The boat will dock in Gudvangen, where you’ll be picked up by bus for your return to Bergen.

Choosing your date
This tour is included as part of your city break package, but as you make your booking, you’ll need to choose which date you’d like to take the tour, before you continue to book. You can do this later via Manage My Booking, but it’s best to do it when you book for better availability.

Good to know

• The tour starts from Bergen, and you'll be told your pick-up details closer to the time.

• Coach, boat and train travel are all included.

• It’s a full-day tour which lasts approximately 12 hours, so we recommend packing some snacks and water.

• Dress for all weathers! Spring in Norway can be a bit unpredictable, so make sure to pack some layers, a brolly and some sun cream, just in case.
