Essential Flåmsbana and the Fjords of Norway

Flåmsbana train and Norway fjord cruises, Oslo to Bergen

Railbookers runs this 6-day, 5-night independent rail package through Norway's fjords, starting and ending in Oslo. The trip travels by rail, ferry, and bus, beginning with the famous Flåmsbana train from Oslo to the fjord-side village of Flam, followed by cruises on the Aurlandsfjord and the UNESCO-protected Nærøyfjord. Two nights in historic Bergen include a day cruising the Hardangerfjord, before leaving Bergen by boat to cruise the Sognefjord. The evidence's account of the return to Oslo is incomplete. It suits independent travelers who want to combine a scenic train ride with several named fjord cruises and are comfortable changing between trains, boats and buses.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator publishes no formal day-by-day itinerary for this package; the order and length of each stop beyond the two nights in Bergen is described in prose only, so confirm the exact schedule with Railbookers.
  • The evidence's description of the Sognefjord cruise is incomplete (it cuts off mid-sentence), so further route details after that point are not available here.
