Norway in a Nutshell: Oslo to Bergen

Travel from Oslo to Flåm via the scenic mountain railway, cruise the Nærøyfjord, and arrive in Bergen—no driving required.

The most classic route for first-time visitors to Norway: spend two nights in Oslo exploring museums and the Opera House, then take the Bergen Line and the Flåm Railway down to the fjords. Enjoy a relaxed two-night stay in the fjord region, cruise the Nærøyfjord on a zero-emission vessel, and travel via Voss to Bergen. With its leisurely pace, this itinerary is perfect for non-drivers; it bypasses Geiranger and the north.

Available year-round. In winter, cruise departures are less frequent, and snow may affect the mountain railway.
