Hardangerfjord, Voss & Sognefjord

Hang out in the Hardanger fjord, fringed with apple blossom in spring time and penetrating in from the Atlantic for over a hundred miles to the mountain plateau Hardangervidda; then climb up to Voss, from where you can cruise on the Nærøy and Aurland fjords before crossing a vast plateau down to the Sognefjord. Stay alongside this, the longest fjord in Norway; cruise up to the Fjærland glacier; take a trip along the fjord’s shoreline to see Urnes Stave Church or just watch the day go by.
