Bergen: Half-day fjord cruise to Mostraumen
Description
Short on time? Experience a Norwegian fjord in just 3.5 hours from Bergen. Departing from the city center, this scenic half-day cruise takes you through the beautiful Osterfjord and into the narrow Mostraumen straits. Leave UNESCO-listed Bryggen behind as charming villages and steep mountains give way to dramatic fjord landscapes, offering an authentic taste of western Norway. Passing through the narrow Mostraumen straits, the journey continues deeper into the fjord towards the village of Mo. Here, the captain navigates close to a waterfall, bringing you up to the water and the steep mountains. Designed for year-round sightseeing, the modern catamaran features a spacious indoor lounge and open viewing decks for the fresh fjord air. Grab a local treat or hot drink from the onboard snack bar and scout for sea eagles along the route. Departing from Zachariasbryggen, next to Bergen’s Fish Market, it's one of the easiest ways to experience a Norwegian fjord while staying in the city.

A wonderful cruise. Everything was well organised with many seats. Many comments and the boat sometimes stop and let us enjoy and take picture. You can really see many waterfall, views was beautiful.
Upper deck is very windy so it is better to occupy a seat by the window and have a chance to come back any time On a rainy day there is very little fun
Our day was very rainy but it was still so beautiful and well worth going! All of us truly loved this wonderful experience !
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cruise despite the rainy weather. The fjords can be just as beautiful on misty days, and we're so pleased the experience was worth it and left such a positive impression.
Beautiful sites. Worth taking trip.
Thank you for your feedback! It's wonderful to hear that the scenery made such a positive impression. We're pleased you enjoyed the cruise!
This is not an inexpensive trip but it is a wonderful way to see the Norwegian fjords when you are short of time. The staff were very pleasant and friendly , the locations we visited were spectacular and we appreciated the choice of background classical music - Peer Gynt Suite of course - to admire the scenery. The whole trip is peaceful with pre recorded interesting information along the route. We really enjoyed the trip and felt it was worth the cost for our brief stay in Bergen .
Very comfortable way to experience the beautiful fjords!
We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the experience. The beautiful fjord scenery makes every trip special, and we truly appreciate your kind words!
The tour was beautiful!! Just enough information from the boat but much time that was quiet to enjoy the view. We spent most of our time outside and loved it!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the balance between commentary and time to simply take in the views. It's especially nice to hear that you spent most of the journey out on deck, there's no better way to experience the fjord up close. Thank you for joining us!
Three hours of nonstop stunning scenery. The informative audio guide for the sights is just the right amount of detail. My top tip? Get there early to grab a seat by a window. Yes it is expensive but probably reasonable by Norway’s standards. Overall, definitely worth it.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the spectacular scenery throughout the cruise and found the audio guide informative and easy to follow. It's wonderful to know that the experience felt worthwhile. Arriving early for a window seat is a great suggestion, especially on rainy days when many guests choose to enjoy the views from inside the cabin!
A great experience. Super convenient boarding in history Bergen. The cabin seats are super comfortable, and there's plenty of room on the sundeck. The captain went fast when there was little to see and slowed down for the best scenery, then did a couple of 360s with the boat at the end of the fjord to make sure we all got a good look at the waterfall.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the comfort on board and the beautiful fjord scenery. It's great to know that the pace of the journey gave you the chance to fully take in some of the fjord's most spectacular highlights!
I almost canceled because it was raining. Good thing I didn't! It was still a great experience! Both in the landscapes and on the boat. Spectacular.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you decided to join the cruise despite the rain. The fjords can be spectacular in all kinds of weather, and we're glad you enjoyed both the scenery and the boat. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
