Fjord Country by Road and Rail

Bergen · Flåm · Geiranger · 8 nights

Eight nights from Bergen to Geiranger, paced around the days that matter.

The Journey

Eight nights across three stops: Bergen for three nights, Flåm for three and Geiranger for two. Every transfer between them is private and timed around the day's plan.

The days are built around Bryggen and Mount Fløyen, The Flåm Railway and Nærøyfjord, Geirangerfjord by Boat and Fjord Day from the City. Each one is set out below with what you will see, how you get there and which meals are included.

The defining moment of this route: flåmsbana descent and a silent electric fjord cruise. Your travel specialist can add a night, swap a day or change the order before you book.

Common Questions

When does the Flåm Railway run?+

All year, with the most departures from May to September. The fjord cruises and high mountain roads are best in summer.

Do Indian passport holders need a visa for Norway?+

Yes. Norway is in the Schengen area, so a Schengen visa is required.

How expensive is eating out in Norway?+

Norway is one of Europe's priciest countries for meals. Breakfast is included throughout; we suggest good-value local restaurants for other meals.

How far in advance should we book?+

Three to four months ahead gives the widest choice of rooms and guided days, and more for school holidays, festivals and peak season. Shorter notice is often possible; ask and we will check live availability.

Can the itinerary be customised?+

Yes. Every journey is a starting point: add or remove nights, swap a day's plan, change hotels or reorder the route, and your travel specialist re-plans the whole trip around it.

What is the payment schedule?+

Your quote sets out the deposit that confirms the booking and the date the balance is due. Both depend on the hotels, airlines and guides involved, so they are agreed with you before you pay anything.
