Grand Flåmsbana and the Fjords of Norway

Independent Norway trip by rail, bus and boat on the Flåmsbana railway

Illustration of Grand Flåmsbana and the Fjords of Norway

Railbookers operates Grand Flåmsbana and the Fjords of Norway, a 10-day, 9-night independent package that begins and ends in Oslo. Unlike some Railbookers trips, this one is described as a mix of rail, bus and boat travel rather than train travel alone. The centerpiece is a ride on the Flåmsbana, a well-known scenic railway, along with a boat cruise across seven fjords. Nights are spent in the cities of Oslo and Bergen, as well as the fjord side villages of Flam and Balestrand. As an independent package rather than an escorted tour, Railbookers arranges the transport between stops while travelers explore each place at their own pace. This trip suits travelers who want one famous scenic rail ride combined with fjord cruising and time in small Norwegian villages, rather than a trip built entirely around train travel, without a guide leading each day.

What to know before you look closer

  • The operator's description does not include a day-by-day itinerary or the number of nights spent in each of Oslo, Bergen, Flam and Balestrand; confirm the schedule with Railbookers before booking.
  • Although sold as a rail package, travel here is a mix of rail, bus and boat; the Flåmsbana railway covers one scenic segment rather than the whole route.
