Train journey Norway

Rail and fjord cruise across Norway from Oslo toward Bodø

Illustration of Train journey Norway

Railtour Suisse operates this rail and cruise journey across Norway, offered in two lengths. The 5-day option runs from Oslo to Bergen on the Bergen Railway, which climbs to over 1,200 meters above sea level across the Hardangervidda plateau, then changes to the Flåm Railway for a descent to the fjords, followed by a boat trip on the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord. The 8-day option continues from Bergen aboard a Hurtigruten or Havila ship, sailing along the coast and fjords to Trondheim, or inland on the Nordland Railway, which crosses the Arctic Circle on its way toward Bodø. The trip suits travelers drawn to scenic train rides and coastal views over city time, with Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim as the main urban stops along the way.
