Rock walls plunging into the water, waterfalls and tiny villages on the shore: half a day from Bergen is enough to see them. This guide compares every Norway fjord cruise from Bergen (Mostraumen, the Nærøyfjord from Flåm, a full day with Flåm and Stegastein), what it costs, the little harbour ferry, and hour-by-hour weather with wind.

Beffen is Bergen’s little harbour ferry: in 10 minutes it crosses from Bryggen to Nykirkekaien, with a lovely view of the city from the water.
To spend less on the fjords, the local operator’s Mostraumen cruise (from €65) is the cheapest we found.
