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.

What To Expect

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.

Beautiful fjords. The cabin was pretty warm (it was a very hot day), not sure if they could have done anything about the air conditioning.

The cruise was fine and the meeting point was easy to find. However, there were a lot of people on the upper deck. People had no sense of personal space and just crowded right next to us. They were taking thousands of photos, with like 6-7 people in the family. This went on everywhere for 1.5 hours nonstop. So did I enjoy the scenery and tranquility? It was difficult under that circumstance. I do understand people of different cultural backgrounds behave differently, but I just wished they could have been more considerate. It was very cold. The worst was the wind. We were unlucky to have the summer weather like that. I would suggest that if you are on a cruise ship and then going to Geirlangerford afterwards, then you might not to choose this cruise. Sailing to Geirangerford the next day was so beautiful and the scenery was much better that it made the Monatraumen cruise pointless in a way. But if aren’t going to another fjord, yes, then take this cruise and enjoy it.

Once you get beyond the residential section the beauty begins with the waterfalls and small villages.

Great Cruise to see beautiful and majestic fjords and waterfalls. It was worth the trip even though it was raining. By the time we sailed out the rain stopped. Crew was friendly and boat was clean. We got amazing pictures! Don't miss this tour.
