Essential Fjords and the Norwegian Coast

Norway fjords rail journey, Oslo, Flåm Railway, Bergen and Stavanger

Railbookers runs this 9-day, 8-night independent rail package through Norway's fjord country, starting and ending in Oslo. After an overnight stay in Oslo, the trip travels by rail to Myrdal and down the legendary Flåm Railway to Flam, where a fjord cruise crosses the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord to the village of Gudvangen. A bus through Nærøydalen continues to Voss, and the Bergen Railway completes the run into Bergen, on Norway's southwestern coast. The route also includes Stavanger before returning to Oslo, though the evidence does not describe that stretch in detail. It suits independent travelers who want to combine named scenic trains with a fjord cruise and are comfortable managing several changes of transport and their own luggage.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no formal day-by-day itinerary for this package; the order of Myrdal, Flam, Gudvangen, Voss, Bergen, Stavanger and the return to Oslo is described in prose only, so confirm the exact schedule with Railbookers.
  • The evidence's description of the route is incomplete (it cuts off mid-sentence while describing Bergen's location), so details of the Stavanger leg and the return to Oslo are not available here.
