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.

Nice large catamaran takes you to the fjords. At various points, the ship slows down to allow pictures and people on the bow area. Knowledgeable crew gave interesting information about the fjords and small towns along the shore.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the journey and found the commentary interesting along the way. It's great to know you could take in the scenery at a relaxed pace. Thank you for your kind review!
Had a totally fantastic time, splendid landscape. Well worth doing. Nice to get so close to the waterfalls. Nice trip
Takk for at du delte opplevelsen din med oss. Så hyggelig å høre at du hadde en fantastisk tur og at du likte å komme så tett på fossen. Det er også fint å høre at det vakre landskapet gjorde inntrykk. Takk for de gode ordene!
Great - super trip. Wrap ip warm as it gets cold - even in summer
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip. And that's great advice, even in summer it's always a good idea to bring an extra layer when exploring the fjords.
We did both Rødne Fjord Cruise cruises during our trip to Norway: the Lysefjord & Preikestolen from Stavanger and the Mostraumen from Bergen, and both were truly fantastic experiences. The cruise on the Lysefjord was wonderful. Sailing between imposing mountains, waterfalls, and incredible landscapes until arriving in front of Preikestolen is an experience that is hard to forget. Approaching the waterfall was also a particularly beautiful and fun moment. The cruise to Mostraumen also surprised us a lot. Departing directly from the center of Bergen and crossing the Osterfjord allows you to see the landscape change continuously, until arriving at the Mostraumen straits, where the boat's passage between the mountains and the strong currents makes the navigation even more evocative. We also really appreciated the quality of the boats, which were modern, spacious, and comfortable, with large outdoor areas and large panoramic windows. An experience that I absolutely recommend to those visiting Norway who want to experience the fjords without giving up comfort. If you have time, doing both cruises is really worth it; they are very different from each other and allow you to discover two incredible landscapes from different perspectives.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It means a lot to hear that you chose both of our fjord cruises during your trip to Norway and enjoyed them so much. We're glad that everything from the dramatic landscapes and waterfalls to the comfort on board helped make your visit memorable.

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
Thank you for your review. We're glad you enjoyed the cruise. The weather can have an impact on the experience, and the outdoor decks can indeed be windy, especially at higher speeds. We're pleased that the vessel offers both comfortable indoor seating and outdoor viewing areas, allowing guests to choose what suits them best. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
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 .
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed the cruise and felt it was a worthwhile part of your visit to Bergen. It's lovely to know that the scenery, atmosphere on board, and friendly crew all contributed to a memorable experience. Thank you for your kind review!
