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.

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
Canalized river with tidal water deep into the Osterfjord. The stream is about 600 metres long and between 50 and 60 meters wide at the most narrow place. Mostraumen was canalized (dredged) about 1913.

5.00So beautiful but dress warmly if you plan on being outside on the top deck. It was nice that there was a small bar on board too.

2.00There are a few things regarding this trip. First of all, I was unable to download an Viator app. After a few attempts, I received a warning from my server regarding the illegal way in which Viator uses information from their clients--the list was impressive. I had my confirmation number which I brought to the boat. The woman checking phones was unable to figure out what to do, so she impatiently waved us onto the boat. The views of the fjords were amazing but honestly, there was so much more that the narrator could have talked about regarding Norweigen culture and history. We had a total of a half hour of narration on a trip that took four hours. I think you can do better.
Nothing extra special...

3.00Honestly, I was expecting more but this is mostly a boat ride to nothing. The area is pretty but the first/last hour offer little to nothing to see and the middle part when you're in the slightly narrower part of the fjord isn't substantially better. Maybe in the winter if there's snow or the spring/early summer if there's runoff, but there was neither in August. I would do this it I had a few days in Bergen, but for my short cruise ship port call I would have rather had this time back to explore the city. The boat itself was fine and the staff were perfectly great, and the linkup and boarding was very simple.

5.00We were pleasantly surprised at how amazing this fjord tour was! The 4 hours flew by as we explored stunning landscapes and cruised through gorgeous fjords. We left at 10:30 and returned at 2:30. Bring a jacket, it can get quite windy on the water! Highly recommend.
Discovery of the fjords...
