Setting Sail on the Fjærlandsfjord

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for experiences that promise both adventure and education for the whole family. When I heard about the Sognefjord Cruise & Glacier Experience in Vossevangen, I knew it was a must-do for us. The idea of exploring Norway’s natural wonders, from majestic fjords to ancient glaciers, was too tempting to resist.

Our journey began with a scenic bus ride from Voss to Vik. The luxurious bus and our knowledgeable guide made the trip both comfortable and informative. The kids were fascinated by the stories of Viking history and the rich cultural heritage of the region. As we descended from the “Vikafjell” mountain, the view of Vik Village and the Sognefjord from the Storesvingen viewpoint was nothing short of breathtaking. It was the perfect start to our adventure.

A Cruise to Remember

Once we arrived in Vik, we boarded the MV Fjord Lady for a cruise on the stunning Fjærlandsfjord. The boat was spacious and well-equipped, offering a delightful dining experience as we sailed through the fjord. The kids enjoyed spotting various bird species, and we even managed to capture some incredible photos of the surrounding landscapes.

The cruise was a highlight of our trip, with the serene beauty of the fjord providing a perfect backdrop for family bonding. We indulged in a delicious dinner on board, complete with local delicacies that pleased even the pickiest eaters in our family. The combination of good food, stunning views, and the gentle sway of the boat made for an unforgettable experience.

Glaciers and More

Our next stop was the Glacier Village of Fjærland, where we visited the Norwegian Glacier Museum. This interactive museum was a hit with the kids, offering hands-on exhibits that explained the science behind glaciers and climate change in a fun and engaging way. It was a great educational experience that sparked curiosity and conversation among the family.

The tour continued with a visit to the Bøyabreen Glacier, a breathtaking sight that left us all in awe. Standing before the glacier, we marveled at its sheer size and beauty, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. The return journey to Voss was filled with laughter and stories, as we reflected on a day well spent exploring Norway’s natural wonders.

In conclusion, the Sognefjord Cruise & Glacier Experience was a perfect blend of adventure, education, and family bonding. It’s a trip that I highly recommend to any family looking to create lasting memories in one of the most beautiful places on earth.
