Tour itinerary

Mostraumen Fjord Cruise: Scenic Tour from Bergen

📍 Departure from Bergen

The tour starts at the different meeting points in Bergen, right in the heart of the city. As the catamaran moves away from the pier, you will enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the old town. You will pass historic monuments such as the medieval Bergenhus Fortress, one of the oldest fortresses in Norway, St. Mary's Church with its Romanesque style, and the colorful wooden houses of the Hanseatic quay of Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Departure from Bergen

Cityfjord and Salhusfjord

Leaving the city behind, the boat enters Cityfjord and Salhusfjord. The scenery quickly transforms as urban views give way to green hills, wooded shorelines, and scattered islands. This is where your scenic journey into western Norway truly begins.

Osterfjord

As you cruise deeper into the 17-mile-long (27 km) Osterfjord, the landscape becomes more dramatic. Towering mountains close in on both sides, and the fjord itself can reach depths of over 2,095 feet (639 meters). You’ll feel surrounded by raw nature, far from the bustle of the city.

Mostraumen Channel

Next comes the most anticipated part of the tour: the Mostraumen Channel. Just 160–200 feet wide (50–60 meters) and 2,000 feet long (600 meters), this narrow passageway is flanked by steep cliffs and cascading waterfalls. If conditions allow, the captain may carefully guide the boat close to a waterfall—so close, you can feel the spray!

Return to Bergen

After passing through the Mostraumen Channel, the boat retraces its route back to Bergen. On the return, you’ll see the fjords from a new angle and have another chance to soak in the stunning Norwegian scenery. The cruise concludes at the same pier where you began.
