Geirangerfjord and Norway in a nutshell® tour from Ålesund
You start the tour from the Art Nouveau city of Ålesund with a fjordcruise on the magical Geirangerfjord with Hurtigruten. During the shoulder season you return to Ålesund by Hurtigruten. If you choose to travel in the high season, the return-trip to Ålesund from Geiranger is done by bus on the impressive Eagle Road.
You may choose to spend another night in Ålesund or travel with the Hurtigruten to Bergen the same evening. The Hurtigruten sails south along the western coast of Norway and makes several stops in small villages and cities along the way. The cruise will give you a real impression and an extensive overview of the remarkable Norwegian coastline. You spend one night onboard the Hurtigruten before arriving in Bergen, where an overnight stay is required.
From Bergen you continue on the popular Norway in a nutshell® tour which takes you through some of Norway's most beautiful fjord scenery. You will experience the scenic Bergen Railway, the breathtaking Flåm Railway, the Aurlandsfjord and the narrow Nærøyfjord on a fjord cruise.
