UNESCO’s Heritage list......

Join us on one of Norway’s longest and most beautiful ferry trips - a cruise that lasts exactly 2 hours and 15 minutes. A mini-voyage that sails through a fjord and mountain wonderland that has been nominated for inclusion on UNESCO’s Heritage list.

You will be fascinated by the breathtaking scenery and the numerous fjord and mountain farmlets that cling to the precipitous mountainsides on narrow shelves, or that shelter in the shadow of overhanging rock, protected from Nature’s forces.
