Norway coastal tour - Geirangerfjord cruise, Rauma Railway and coastal cities tour
Ready for the ultimate Norwegian coastal cities package? You'll kick off in Bergen (the gateway to the fjords), cruise the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord with its thundering waterfalls and explore Art Nouveau Ålesund – the city that rose from ashes to become Norway's architectural gem. This independent Norway travel experience gives you freedom with all the logistics sorted – because who wants to stress about train connections when there are fjords to see?
The crown jewel? Your Rauma Railway tour past the mighty Troll Wall (Europe's tallest vertical rock face – take that, Alps!). From Bergen's colourful Bryggen wharf to Ålesund's fairytale architecture, ending in cool capital Oslo – this Norwegian fjord and city tour packs more wow-moments per kilometres than any other coastal Norway vacation package we know.
Don't just dream about Norway – the fjords are calling!
Notice!
The Rauma Line is closed due to a landslide, and will not open until October 1st at the earliest. In this temporary period, you will travel through the Rauma Valley by bus.

Welcome to the fjord capital of Norway.
The cherry trees in Bergen are in bloom at the turn of April and May.
Welcome to Bergen – Gateway to the fjords
Welcome to Bergen, where mountains meet the sea and cherry blossoms paint the town pink in April-May!
Your Bergen Ålesund Oslo tour kicks off with an arrival in Norway's fjord capital. Check into your perfectly positioned hotel right in the city heart – we've done the location scouting so you don't have to. Bergen's seven mountains wrap around the city like a protective hug, with those Instagram-famous colorful wooden houses climbing up the hillsides.
Once you've dropped your bags, the evenings yours. Wander down to the Fish Market where the catch of the day might just become your dinner – the locals know what's good! This is independent Norway travel at its finest: your schedule, your pace, your adventure.

Mostraumen fjord cruise takes you up the 27-km long Osterfjord.
Bergen at your own pace
Rise and shine for a full day exploring Bergen – gateway to the fjords and keeper of Norwegian secrets!
Today's all about discovering why Bergen earned its UNESCO stripes. The Bryggen wharf isn't just old wooden buildings; it's where medieval merchants once ruled the seas. Take the Fløibanen funicular up Mount Fløyen (pro tip: the view from the top makes even locals stop and stare).
Want to level up your Bergen experience? Add a 3-hour Mostraumen fjord cruise or treat yourself to dinner at Cornelius – one of Norway's top seafood restaurants sitting pretty on its own island. These aren't just add-ons; they're the cherry on top of your Norwegian coastal cities package.

Viewpoint on Mount Aksla in Ålesund.
Ålesund is famous for its Art Nouveau architecture.

Flying to Ålesund - The Art Nouveau town
After a leisurely Bergen breakfast, you'll catch a short flight to Ålesund – the phoenix city that turned disaster into architectural triumph!
Following a devastating 1904 fire, Ålesund didn't just rebuild; it reinvented itself as Norway's Art Nouveau Ålesund masterpiece. Check into your hotel and spend the afternoon however you fancy. Climb Mount Aksla for those money-shot views (418 steps, but who's counting?), explore the Atlanterhavsparken aquarium, or simply stroll along Brosundet canal pretending you're in a fairytale.
Two nights in Ålesund means no rushing – because good things (and Art Nouveau architecture) shouldn't be rushed.

Geirangerfjord UNESCO cruise - Nature's greatest hits
Early birds get the best fjord views! After breakfast, you're off on the main event – your Geirangerfjord UNESCO cruise.
This isn't just any boat ride; it's a front-row seat to Mother Nature showing off. The Seven Sisters waterfall cascades down one side while The Suitor waterfall faces them across the fjord (romantic, right?). Abandoned mountain farms cling impossibly to cliffsides – testament to Norway's tough-as-nails farmers of yesteryear.
Your cruise includes a stop in Geiranger village, where time moves slower and coffee tastes better with a fjord view. The return journey hits different as golden afternoon light transforms the fjord into pure magic. This is what Norway coastal tour dreams are made of!

Scenic journey from Ålesund to Oslo via Rauma Railway
Save the best for last? That's our style! Today's adventure combines the legendary Troll wall Rauma Railway with the scenic Dovre Line for an epic Bergen to Oslo railway tour finale.
Your private transfer from Ålesund winds through fjord country to Åndalsnes, where the famous Rauma Railway awaits. This train doesn't just take you places; it takes you through valleys so dramatic they've inspired Norwegian folklore for centuries. The Troll Wall looms 1,100 meters straight up – Europe's tallest vertical rock face that makes climbers weak at the knees.
At Dombås, switch to the Dovre Line for the final stretch through Gudbrandsdal Valley to Oslo. You'll roll into the capital with your head full of fjords and your camera full of shots that'll make your friends seriously jealous. Check into your Oslo hotel for one last Norwegian sleep.
The trip finishes after breakfast next morning.
*The Rauma Line is closed until October 1st due to landslide. In this periode you will travel the stretch from Åndalsnes to Dombås by bus. You will still get a good experience of the Rauma Valley and spectacular views of Trollveggen.
