Such an amazing experience! This is a Fjord cruise through a not so narrow fjord showing off a…read moreserene, calm and refreshing view. Pictures do not do justice to the beauty that we had experienced. Our meeting point was at Flam quay after a numerous train and bus ride. But first, upon arrival at Flam go straight to where line starts to enter the boat as line can get really long especially that there are a lot of tour groups as well. Better to get in first to get a good spot and reserve tables and chairs. We did our "Norway in a nutshell tour" on our own so we booked all our trains and bus ride separately as you can save about $200 per person doing it on your own rather than booking with a travel website. The vessel began its journey sailing through what they call idyllic Aurlandsfjord, before the boat continues through the narrow Naeroyfjord before arriving Gudvangen at the inner end. The trip takes around 2 hours one way. The Naeroyfjord (a West Norwegian Fjords) has been enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage list along with Geirangerfjord since 2005. Food & Beverages: onboard the ship is a cafe that serves hot and cold drinks, a variety of pastries, sandwiches, hotdogs, chips as well as selection of wines & beers and a whole lot more if you get hungry. And you will get hungry as the ride was about 2 hours long. Tables and chairs are available inside the boat. We stayed half of our time inside and half outside as it was super cold in October. For cold weather be prepared to bundle up with heavy jackets, gloves, scarves and beanies because it goes a long way and it's very beautiful to stay outside of the ship just savoring the beauty of nature. The modern and very comfortable boat cruised us from Flam to Gudvangen. We were able to witness a lot of waterfalls, colorful Norwegian houses. The Norwegian nature all around was pretty impressive and again pictures nor videos do not do justice to the beauty of this place at all. This is one experience you cannot miss when in Norway. One checked off the bucket list. April 2026

First you should line up about a half an hour before your scheduled boat leaves as the queue swells…read moreup fast. The ship was modern and clean. There were large windows so one could take in the spectacular views. I encourage going outside to get unforgettable photos though it can get packed quickly. The views of the mountainsides with the waterfalls and the various villages with colorful Scandinavian houses are breathtaking. But be forwarned, the fjord winds blows over the ferry and can get pretty cold. Since this was an almost 2 hour tour, we got hungry and indulged in more Norwegian pølse (hotdog) with traditional toppings. Price was fair, not expensive and the decent coffees were self-service. The staff was helpful, courteous and well organized to assist the patrons. The multi-level seating options were comfortable and allowed passengers to either get ones with a table or relax with the group in cushioned sectionals. This was a very nice ship and the fjord was perfect plus we were blessed with great weather. This cruise from Flam to Gudvangen (or vice versa) crossing the fjord with an electric ferry departs from either harbor. Because it uses electricity, there's almost no distinctive engine sound.

The check-in was a breeze and the rooms were modern and well maintained with modern bath and comfortable bedding. Our refrigerator was not working properly and they replaced it efficiently. The breakfast buffet is large and plentiful, but note it gets crowded, so best to go early and/or get a reservation. The onsite brewery/restaurant is quite good but you should also book a reservation there for dinner during busy season.

The rooms on the front feature balconies with chairs and table, offering wonderfully scenic views of the main fjord harbor.

Dont expect a Hilton hotel, cause it isnt, but the rooms are big and comfy with kitchen included. The staff are amazingly helpful(!), offering a service far beyond what you might expect from expensive hotels. The place also got a very cool bikeshop, so dont freak out if you forgot to bring your helmet or a warm sweatshirt. The place is often crowded with tourists, and is generelly quite expensive, but not more than similar places. However, you are in the middle of nowhere, and do not expect to find a grocery store or fancy shopping centers nearby. Bring your own lunch to avoid bankrupcy (and dont forget your camera). Be adviced to book your room in advance. Or else you might have to share bedroom.

Wifi is not reliable, but this is a remote area, and be aware of that. Since it is usually not very warm, there is no air conditioning. In the summer for a few weeks, they also have pesky non-biting flies, so you cannot open your windows too wide. Staff was very cheerful, and helpful. Location is right next door to the train station, so you should not have any problems walking with your luggage to the hotel. Be aware there are a few steps to get into the lobby, and your room may be down a flight of stairs. I do not believe they have an elevator. Overall, a little rustic, but a stunning setting, and a wonderful place!

So glad I booked this place because it was a nice break away from the stressful and crowded Norway in a Nutshell tour. It's a 2 mi / 45 min scenic walk to Flåm, where you can explore the small town that includes a free museum, some seafood places, a Coop grocery store, and a nice view of the head of a fjord. It's around $7 to take the Flamsbana from Håreina to Flåm. I would suggest walking to town and then taking the train back, or if you're up to it - walking both ways. This place is a great escape from tourists (and society, in general). It was so peaceful, tranquil, and completely unreal to be able to walk outside and read a book on a hammock with the cleanest air around me and the mountains as a backdrop. Our host was incredibly wonderful and sweet. She even fed us some of her homemade flat bread. She was considerate enough to send us a message saying that she wouldn't be in when we arrived, so she made arrangements for us to check in otherwise. The apt is so cute and was perfect for my girlfriend and myself. I think it'd be a great getaway for a small group or family of 4. The beds are queen-sized, and there's even a small kitchen if you ever want to cook your own meal. Plates, glasses, and eating utensils are provided. There was even tea bags, instant coffee, and a kettle for use. The laundry machine isn't very user friendly, but the user manual is provided. It definitely works, but can take a while. Linens and towels are not provided and can be rented. She just asks that you wash your dishes and throw out the garbage before you check out. Also! Her daughter has a forest cat that roams around the front of the apartments. She's sweet, friendly, and not afraid of people. Just a warning for those who are allergic.
