Highlights
  • Osterfjorden - Osterfjorden is a fjord in Vestland county. The fjord is one of three fjords surrounding the island of Osterøy. The fjord runs along the municipal border of Lindås and Osterøy municipalities. The fjord begins at the Romarheimsfjorden and flows to the west for 27 kilometres (17 mi) before ending near the village of Knarvik at the confluence of four fjords: Osterfjorden, Radfjorden (to the north), Sørfjorden (to the south), and Salhusfjorden (to the west). The Osterfjorden is generally about 1 to 3 kilometres (0.62 to 1.86 mi) wide and the deepest point in the fjord reaches a depth of 639 metres (2,096 ft) below sea level
What's Included
  • Scenic fjord cruise from Bergen to Mostraumen and back.
Additional Information

Join us on this 4-hour fjord cruise to the scenic Osterfjord and Mostraumen Channel. Experience the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of traveling through the majestic Norwegian fjords on a scenic boat tour departing from Bergen.

On board the high speed catamaran you will experience the magnificent landscape in Bergen’s nearby fjords and the Nordhordland region. When sailing out from Bergen’s inner harbor you will have a great view to some of the oldest and most relevant historical sites in the city, including the medieval fortress Bergenhus, St Mary’s Church and the colorful Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.

From there, we sail through beautiful Western-Norwegian scenery in the Cityfjord, Salhusfjord and Osterfjord towards the dramatic Mostraumen Channel. The captain safely steers the boat through narrow sounds, a maze of islands, deep fjords and beautiful waterfalls. Daily departures from Dreggekaien Pier in the city centre all year.

  • This tour will go in rain or shine. In the winter months, it can happen that the sea freezes in the innermost part of the fjord where there is a lot of fresh water mixed with the sea water, brackish water. If there is so much ice that there is no safe passage for boats, the captain will then choose an alternative route in this area. This is beyond our control and it does not give grounds for claiming a refund for the trip. We will always do our best to give our customers great experiences, even on days when the forces of nature are not easy to handle.

Great cruise! - The views were amazing and the boat very comfortable. Our weather was perfect as the rain didn’t come until our way back. I would recommend this cruise!

Best views ever - Unbelievable trip and so worth it. We sat along the picnic benches at the back and found it was more sheltered. We had incredible views throughout. I would recommend the 10am slot as we were able to board at leisure from 9:20ish whereas when we arrived back at port at 14:15 the crowd waiting for the 14:30 departure was very busy. Would highly recommend anyone in Bergen to do this cruise we had an amazing time

Barren and beautiful - A wonderfully beautiful tour on the fjord north of Bergen. Despite cloudy weather and some rain we had a great experience. The village of Mo is located at the end of the fjord by a waterfall and the road there is lined with breathtaking views. Well worth the money!

Fjord and waterfalls - Fantastic trip. Comfortable ferry and well organised embarking and disembarking. Shame the weather let us down so we spent a lot of time inside but impressive trip non the less.

Amazing scenery - It was a lovely day and we enjoyed the cruise. It was a couple of hours through some amazing scenery of the steep sided fjords to get to the lovely waterfalls. There were a few tour narratives explaining the main sites and features on route. Limited outside seating, only about 10 seats outside looking fore and more aft under cover with tables. Inside were more seats and toilets.

Good journey, rubbish tour guide - Amazing views, pretty rubbish 'tour guide information'. But, you don't book this cruise for the tour. You book it because it's cheaper than the others (£50ish compared to twice that with other companies) and the fact it's 4 hours rather than 3:30. Would I recommend it? Absolutely yes. It's been my favourite thing to do in Bergen. The views, regardless of the weather are great, indoors or outdoors. Staff are quiet and unobtrusive. Decks are clean. Toilets well-stocked. Hot chocolate very hot (which is what you need when it's chilly). Do: - bring a coat/pacamac/warm jacket if the weather forecast is anything less than 17°c - take note of the excellent toilet facilities, including baby change and shower/wet room - bring cash or card for drinks and snacks: 4 hours is a long time - take pictures from the back of the boat rather than squishing with others in the front - book more than a couple of days in advance. A number of cruise liners dock in Bergen and we*think* they book a lot of the tickets close to the date

Great introduction to the fjords - We got a sunny day so this was a gorgeous introduction to the fjords, ideal if you are only in Bergen for a few days. Service was on time and the scenery lovely - and they do go in close to that waterfall, which is great. Only complaint would be the very limited outdoor seating so you need to get in quick!

Great ride, but the engine arm took part of the experience. - A nice ride even in half cold weather, but you are prepared for it. What removed part of the experience was the engine arm. The boat is of older date and therefore the engine noises a lot, even inside the salon. The trip is recommended, but consider the weather so you can sit outside.

Boring, wasted 4 hours of time in Bergen. - 4 boring hours. Don't go! Spend all this money on funicolare rides. Most people where sleeping in the chairs because of being bored.
