Experience the Sognefjord
We cruise through the Sognefjord, Norway's deepest and longest fjord, and sail into the peaceful Fjærlandsfjord. This fjord arm stretches for about 25 kilometers, surrounded by mighty mountains on both sides, and offers some of the most magnificent fjord scenery Norway has to offer.
Learn about climate and glaciers
When you arrive in Fjærland, a bus will be waiting to take you to the Norwegian Glacier Museum. This is an interactive museum for the whole family, where you will gain insight into glaciers and climate, presented in new and innovative ways.
Get close to the glacier
From the Glacier Museum, the hike continues up to Bøyabreen, an arm of the Jostedalsbreen glacier. Here you will have the opportunity to see the glacier up close, where it hangs over the mountainside.
Afterwards, the bus will take you back to the ferry pier where the boat to Vik departs.
