Cruise Geirangerfjord from Hellesylt past Seven Sisters, Bridal Veil, Suitor, Skageflå, and Knivsflå on a scenic 80-minute boat tour.

“This was a great way to see the waterfalls that line the beautiful Geirangerfjord. I had previously made this trip in a "rib boat" and liked the catamaran experience (with hot chocolate available) was much nicer especially on a drizzly day (which this was). There is no question that this part of Norway can not be appreciated from photos as the sound of the waterfalls added to the sheer wonder.”

12.Fjord Tour with Lunch on MS Bruvik

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 13 reviews · 7 hours · from $156

Review of Ålesund’s seven-hour Hjørundfjord cruise on classic MS Bruvik, with Sæbø stop, onboard lunch, guiding, and practical booking advice.

“Wycieczka była sama w sobie przyjemna, dwa pokłady na których można spędzić czas, dodatkowo miejsce na dziobie i na rufie do oglądania widoków i robienia zdjęć. Sam postój w wiosce raczej miał na celu zrobienie drobnych zakupów i rozprostowania nóg niż zwiedzania. Jeżeli chodzi o obiad to plusem jest to, że była również wersja wegetariańska, natomiast samo danie to była zupa. Podana była letnia, mało doprawiona z losowo wrzuconymi warzywami, gdyby nie dodatkowo podawane kawałki bagietki to raczej ciężko komukolwiek byłoby się najeść, a co dopiero rozgrzać po przebywaniu na zewnątrz statku. Mając na uwadze wychodzenie z statku na dziób schody nie były zbyt bezpieczne - metalowe, ślizgie i mie...”

“The fjord was beautiful and we enjoyed stopping at the very small town. The boat ride offered no information at all. There was no speaking or information offered. The bus ride was more informative. The bus driver offered frequent information. One issue was that we were late in the season so no food places were open in the town we stopped in on the bus.”
