Small-group Mostraumen fjord cruise from Bergen, 3.5 hours on calm water through Osterfjord to dramatic cliffs and waterfalls.
“Absolutely stunning scenery throughout the cruise. It was cloudy and misty which added to the aura. The boat was comfortable and had free wifi, although was a bit patchy. One thing was that there was an opening on the floor of the boat to an underground area. This was meant to be closed, but remained open ( due to negligence) and we took the seat right next to this. We didn't notice the opening but luckily did not fall down. This could've been dangerous and could have injured us.”
Silent hybrid-electric cruise from Svolvær into Trollfjord, searching for white-tailed eagles, warm indoor comfort, and drone views.
“It was very nice and luckily we had good weather. The fjords are beautiful and we even saw eagles and dolphins! The crew, especially the guy from Romania and the lady from Poland were very nice. It was worth it. Only thing that would be nice is if they would clean the windows of the boat. We were outside most of the time but also inside sometimes and thereforce noticed the dirty windows...”
