Highlights of Sognefjord
What to expect
Classic Standard – This is a new itinerary that has the same thoughtful route design, trusted local partnerships and carefully paced experiences that define our travel style, with accommodation centred on comfortable 3-star hotels in convenient locations.
Highlights of Sognefjord is an independent, multi-day journey focused on Norway’s longest and most dramatic fjord, offering extended time on the water and a slower pace through western Norway.
Stretching more than 200 kilometres inland from the coast, the Sognefjord reaches deep into the mountains below the Jotunheimen range, passing steep fjord walls, small islands and traditional farms perched high above the water.
What you’ll experience

- Extended fjord boat journeys along the Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord
- Travel through dramatic landscapes of mountains, valleys and islands
- A journey on the iconic Flåm Railway between Myrdal and Flåm, one of the steepest standard-gauge railways in the world
- Passage past traditional fjord villages, including the historic village of Balestrand
- Arrival in the coastal city of Bergen, known for its harbourfront and historic quarters
