This is a must do trip in Seward and Major Marine does a great job of operating the cruise. The staff is friendly and they work hard to keep things clean.

Cruise from Balestrand to Fjærland, visit the Norwegian Glacier Museum, and see Bøyabreen Glacier on a scenic half-day tour.

“The meeting point was easy to find, the trip itself from Balestrand to Fjærland was absolutely stunning, it was all just beautiful views for the whole two hours. The tour was also very interesting, with the guide sharing so many insightful details about the places we passed by. Loved the Glacier museum and the wonderful cinematic piece they shared, and finally, absolutely loved the Bøyabreen Glaciers that we got to see up close. Every second on this tour was utterly beautiful, and I absolutely recommend going on it if you have an extra day to spare in Balestrand, or even making extra time just to make this tour.Read more”
