How the Bergen Fjord Cruise to Mostraumen Works

Four steps from Zachariasbryggen quay to the Mostraumen waterfall and back.

  1. Meet at Zachariasbryggen Quay

    Find the Rødne Fjord Cruise boat at the Zachariasbryggen quay beside Bergen's Fish Market (Torget 2). Check in 15 minutes before departure — boarding is straight from the wharf.

  2. Sail Past Bryggen

    Cast off into Byfjorden and glide past the painted wooden warehouses of Bryggen — Bergen's UNESCO World Heritage wharf. The audio guide explains the Hanseatic League history as the city skyline recedes.

  3. Into the Osterfjord

    Watch the mountains rise as the boat enters the Osterfjord. Step out onto the sun deck for cliffside waterfalls, or stay in the warm cabin with cafe service. Keep a lookout for sea eagles circling the shore.

  4. Through Mostraumen & Back

    The captain threads the narrow Mostraumen strait against its powerful currents, then noses the bow close enough to a waterfall to feel the spray. Return sail back to Bergen — 3.5 hours total, rain or shine.

What Our Fjord Cruise Guests Say

4.7/5 from 8769 verified cruise guests

"I honestly can’t recommend this fjord cruise enough - it was absolutely spectacular! From start to finish, the experience felt magical. The views were beyond anything I’ve ever seen: dramatic cliffs, stunning waterfalls, and perfectly calm, crystal-clear water. It felt like being inside a postcard. The boat itself was very comfortable, and there were plenty of great spots to take in the scenery and snap photos. The crew were fantastic - super friendly, well-organized, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their commentary made the whole journey even more interesting. What really made this trip special was the atmosphere. It was so awe-inspiring, just being surrounded by such raw, untouched nature. I didn’t want it to end! If you’re even thinking about doing a fjord cruise - do it. It’s 100% worth it and easily one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had!"

"Great time super scenic and boat stopped at certain points of value. Couldn’t always hear commentary though. Boat not overcrowded and left of time."

Julie United Kingdom

"Absolutely loved this trip to Mostraumen, the boat and staff were first class as was the comfort inside the boat. Outside on the deck was freezing so wrap up warm but definitely try it as it’s so worth it for the scenery …. absolutely beautiful and completely blew us away, the commentary and music that accompanied the dramatic surroundings was perfect! I would wholeheartedly recommend this trip and would definitely use the company again. Thank you for a fantastic few hours!"

"We booked this last minute as we wasn’t actually sure what to do during our stay. It was fabulous. So glad we did it. The views were stunning and the boat was brilliant, had everything you needed, from snacks to hot drinks and very reasonable priced. Top deck got a little busy but I expected that would happen, my favourite spot was bottom deck at the back, sheltered from the rain and still seen everything on passing. It’s worth a visit."
