Geiranger
Discover Geirangerfjord on a 75-minute or two-hour sightseeing cruise, with waterfalls, historic fjord farms and dramatic scenery along the way.
Two ways to experience Geirangerfjord
Join a sightseeing cruise on the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, surrounded by steep mountainsides, historic fjord farms and famous waterfalls such as the Seven Sisters, the Suitor and the Bridal Veil. Choose between a classic 75-minute cruise or a longer and quieter two-hour fjord experience.
75 minutes – the highlights in less time
The 75-minute cruise is operated on a smaller, traditional sightseeing vessel and is ideal if you have limited time in Geiranger. The cruise offers a compact introduction to some of the best-known highlights of the World Heritage fjord.
Along the way, you can experience:
the Seven Sisters, the Suitor and the Bridal Veil waterfalls
views of historic fjord farms on the steep mountainsides
close-up views of waterfalls and dramatic cliffs
panoramic views of Geirangerfjord
sightseeing aboard a smaller, traditional vessel
This is a good choice if you want to experience the highlights of Geirangerfjord while still having time for other activities in Geiranger.
Two hours – a quieter fjord experience
The two-hour cruise gives you more time to enjoy Geirangerfjord at a relaxed pace. The journey is aboard a larger and more spacious hybrid-electric vessel, with generous outdoor deck areas and excellent panoramic views.
Hybrid-electric technology allows the vessel to cruise almost silently through parts of the fjord. With less engine noise, the sounds of nature come to the fore – from waterfalls cascading down the mountainsides to the water and birdlife around you.
On this cruise, you can enjoy:
two hours to explore the World Heritage fjord
quiet cruising with hybrid-electric technology
more time at the waterfalls and for photography
spacious outdoor decks and panoramic views
views of historic fjord farms and cultural landscapes
a more relaxed experience with time to take in the scenery
Waterfalls, fjord farms and World Heritage scenery
Whichever cruise you choose, you will see some of the sights that have made Geirangerfjord world-famous. The Seven Sisters, the Suitor and the Bridal Veil cascade down the steep mountainsides, while old fjord farms such as Skageflå and Knivsflå tell stories of life along the fjord in earlier times.
Both cruises offer excellent opportunities to experience and photograph the dramatic fjord landscape. Choose 75 minutes for the highlights in less time, or two hours for more space, more time and a quieter journey through Geirangerfjord.
