From Ålesund: Winter Fjord Cruise to Geirangerfjord

Join us on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful, wild and raw landscape of the fjords. Take advantage of the unique opportunity to experience a popular World Heritage site without the huge crowds. Enjoy a powerful and peaceful close contact with raw and rugged nature, whether you're here when the landscape glows with autumn colors, when it's covered in snow and ice, or when it bursts with spring.

Experience the unique calm that hangs over the landscape in autumn, winter and spring: the air is crisper, the light clearer and the shadows deeper. Your trip travels with our modern fjord boat from the narrow strait in the seaside town of Ålesund and up the fjord towards the heart of the UNESCO area ─ Geiranger. Sit comfortably on the fjord boat, and feel how the mood changes in parallel with the changing landscape: from the open horizons of the coast to the most dramatic and mysterious fjords inland.

The last 45 minutes of the journey passes through the vast Geirangerfjord, beneath abandoned fjord farms, high mountains and powerful waterfalls. Perhaps head up on deck for a light, refreshing shower of mountain water on your face? Included in the trip is the Fjord Ranger from the World Heritage Center Norwegian Fjord Center. Hear all about how glaciers, rivers and other forces have shaped the landscape, about the great diversity of plants and animals that live here, and about the people who found themselves in completely incredible places. You can ask the Fjord Ranger about everything between heaven and earth (or between mountains and fjords).

In Geiranger, be driven by bus to the spectacular Flydalsjuvet viewpoint, where you will have the opportunity to take iconic pictures of the fjord and Geiranger. Visit the Norwegian Fjord Centre, which is an interesting information and visitor centre on the landscape of the West Norwegian fjords and the Geirangerfjord heritage area. In addition to a large interactive exhibition, there is also a cafeteria and a sale of local artisan products.

Then choose to walk the 'Waterfall Walk' (327 steps) down the magnificent river from the Norsk Fjordsenter back to the ship, or take the bus, it's up to you.
