I am the creator of an e-book “Mediterranean Cruise Port Guide“, the most comprehensive guide to 45 Mediterranean cruise ports, & YouTube channel @AdventourBegins. Many guided hiking tours are available, led by knowledgeable local guides who can provide insight into the area’s flora, wildlife, and cultural history. If you prefer a more adventurous and adrenaline-pumped holiday, a hiking trip will provide you with an ideal opportunity to immerse yourself in the pristine wilderness that surrounds the fjord. Dalsnibba Mountain is best visited on a guided shore excursion, but you can also reach it by bus or car via the iconic Eagle Road (Ørnevegen). For those staying here for more days (or if you are staying overnight at port), full-day cruises to the famous Alesund located around 108 km/67 miles to the northwest are also available.
This trip includes:
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 colours, when it's covered in snow and ice, or when it bursts with spring. A cruise on Geirangerfjord, stays in Oslo, UNESCO heritage town of Roros, Trondheim, Alesund & Geiranger.

Located in the Stranda Municipality, Geirangerfjord is a branch of the Storfjorden (Great Fjord). Sailing into the fjord is an unforgettable sight that you cannot compare with any other! I visited this stunning place years ago and I still remember how amazing it was when we sailed in. Together with the Nærøyfjord, the Geirangerfjord has been on the World Heritage List since 2005 as West Norwegian Fjords.
Visit Geirangerfjord with Hurtigruten
Included in the trip is the Fjord Ranger from the World Heritage Center Norwegian Fjord Center. You can ask Fjordrangeren about everything between heaven and earth (or between mountains and fjords). Our brand new catamaran, the MS Geirangerfjord II, has been specifically designed in Norway to enhance the Fjord sightseeing experience. This vessel is the perfect size to cater for individuals and groups en route from Ålesund to Geiranger.

Due to the steep mountain sides there are no roads along the fjord, hence a fjord cruise is the only way to experience this amazing, narrow fjord. Our trips are based on our goal of sustainable tourism, with eco-friendly travel that leaves as small an environmental footprint on nature as possible. We strive to provide an authentic and local experience, with public and environmentally friendly transport like trains, electrical cruise ferries, and buses. We use domestic airline companies that strive to reduce their CO2 emissions, invest in green technology and work to achieve more sustainable travel. Enjoy a scenic fjord cruise by car ferry between Geiranger and Hellesylt.
Experience the World Heritage listed Geirangerfjord with its majestic waterfalls. Right next to the pier is a large parking for tour buses ready to take you on shore excursions to stunning viewpoints, waterfalls, and other points of interest. This cruise terminal is adjacent to Geiranger Ferry Terminal, from where you can embark on fjord cruises that depart approximately every hour. Geiranger Tourist Information is available on-site, providing visitors with useful information on things to do in the area, taxis, e-bike rentals, fjord cruise timetables, etc. The route is operated by traditional car ferries, perfect for you who are on road trip in the fjord region and want to bring your vehicle on board. On board there is a café selling light meals such as the traditional pancakes called “svele” and hot and cold beverages.
The best way to see the Geirangerfjord & Fjord Norway
Passengers are welcome to go outside on deck, and the audio guide on board tells the stories about the area and the sights you pass by. Blomberg fjordfarm can be reached via a steep path from the fjord. The farm is 450 m above sea level and provides beautiful views over the Geirangerfjord, including the waterfalls "The Seven Sisters”, “The Bridal Veil” and “The Suitor”. There are plenty of things to do in Geirangerfjord that bring you up close to nature. You could paddle down to the Seven Sisters or just learn a new skill in stunning surroundings. Go full throttle by taking a high-octane RIB boat tour across the water.
Thematic Norway Holidays:
It's hard to believe that people actually lived there not too long ago! Enjoy a cup of coffee or maybe even a waffle, as the boat slides slowly past the magnificent landscapes between the charming coastal town of Ålesund and the idyllic Geiranger. The fjord cruises take passengers for a close-up view to the waterfalls “The Seven Sisters”, “The Bridal Veil” and “The Suitor”. Many of the abandoned mountain farms along the fjord can be seen as well.
While sitting comfortably in the boat, you get to experience how the settings change with the landscape. From the open horizons by the coast to the dramatic and mysterious fjords inland. Fjord cruise to Mostraumen straitThis spectacular tour from Bergen takes you up the 27-km long Osterfjord in Vestland province.
The small farms you can see clinging to the mountain sides, seems almost uninhabitable. They have stayed more or less untouched in modern times and are only accessible by boat and foot. The Seven Sisters and the Suitor (also called The Friar) are the most spectacular. The two falls face one another across the fjord, and the Suitor is said to be trying to woo the sisters opposite.
Classic way to experience the Geirangerfjord UNESCO World Heritage site from our sightseeing boat cruise. If you are lucky enough to stay a couple days we can help to organise your stay and plan your itinerary be it a guided kayaking trip, relaxing in a spa or enjoying a good meal. It often happens that only cruise passengers who booked shore excursions are allowed to get off the ship, only to join tour buses waiting to transfer them to the nearby attractions. Cars and coaches can travel on the tourist car ferries, but capacity is limited, and we advise to book the vehicle space in advance.For coach booking please contact us. The Seven Sisters may be the best-known landmark in the Geirangerfjord, but it is certainly not the only one.
Fossestien is a path following the impressive waterfall from the fjord up to Hotel Union Geiranger. At the top you can pay a visit to the Norwegian Fjord Centre to learn more about the geology of the landscape and culture by the fjord. The UNESCO Nærøyfjord is one of the most spectacular fjords in Fjord Norway.
There are several viewpoints in the hills above the town centre with spectacular views towards the fjord. If you do not have your own car to take you there, opt to hire an electrical bicycle or eMobility car from the town centre. Geiranger Fjordservice AS offers exclusive fjord cruises on the world-famous Geirangerfjord. This trip starts from Ålesund with a modern boat which takes you into the fjord towards the heart of the UNESCO-area of Geiranger.
