Itinerary

Arrive in Oslo today and check in at your hotel for a two-night stay. Spend the rest of the day exploring the Norwegian capital. Head up to the Akershus Fortress, a medieval castle which offers breathtaking views over the Oslofjord. Alternatively, visit one of Oslo's wide choice of museums. Take a boat to the Bygdøy Peninsula for the highest concentration of these, or stay in the town centre and see Edvard Munch's The Scream at the National Gallery. (Overnight in Oslo)

After breakfast this morning, enjoy a full day of sightseeing in Oslo with the Oslo Pass, which provides access to over 30 museums and attractions. Top attractions include the Natural History Museum, Fram Museum, The Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, Holmenkollen Ski Museum & Tower, The Viking Ship Museum and TusenFryd Amusement Park. The city centre offers world-class shopping and dining, jazz and blues clubs, and bars and cafes where you can relax and enjoy good people-watching. (Overnight in Oslo)

After breakfast this morning, take an early train from Oslo to Myrdal and then connect with the world-famous Flam Railway. The journey from the mountain station of Myrdal down to Flam deep in the fjord has been voted the most scenic rail journey in the world, and is one of the steepest normal track railway lines in the world, dropping 2,824 feet in just under an hour. Take in the awe-inspiring views of rugged mountains, deep valleys and thundering waterfalls as you descend into the Aurlandsfjord. On arrival in Flam, check in at your hotel for a two-night stay and relax over a delicious dinner at Ægir restaurant, where the Viking dinner menu includes the famous Ægir Viking plank - 5 courses of delicious local food paired with 5 different Ægir beers served on a plank. (Overnight in Flam)

Take an unforgettable journey by boat today through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Aurlandsfjord and beyond into the stunning Nærøyfjord on a heritage fjord safari rib boat ride. Starting in Flam, you'll make stops at scenic attractions and see incredible wildlife up close, including porpoises, seals and eagles. Learn all about the fjord and local history with fascinating stories, tales and legends from your safari guide. This will be a journey you won't soon forget! (Overnight in Flam)

Your onward journey begins this morning with a ferry ride into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Nærøyfjord, the narrowest fjord in the world. This branch of the Sognefjord is spectacularly beautiful with its high peaks framing the narrow thread of water. Watch goats grazing along the banks and seals lying on the rocks before mooring at Gudvangen. Here, transfer onto a bus which will take you up the winding bends of the Stalheimskleiva to a lookout point above the Stalheimsfossen and Sivlefossen waterfalls. You'll make a brief stop to admire the view before continuing to Voss, where you transfer to the station for your onward train journey to Bergen. On arrival in Bergen, check in at your hotel for an overnight stay. You have an afternoon here to explore Norway's second city. Why not discover the colourful Hanseatic buildings of Bryggen and Vågen harbours or take the Fløibanen up to the top of Fløyen for spectacular views? (Overnight in Bergen)

After breakfast this morning, start the day with one of the many sightseeing tours that introduce you to what charming Bergen has to offer. Use your included Bergen Card and enjoy free discounted admittance to most museums and attractions and many cultural events, sightseeing tours, restaurants and parking.

After breakfast this morning, head back to the station for your scenic journey from Bergen back to Oslo along the Bergen Line, Northern Europe's highest mainline rail line. On arrival in Oslo, check-in at your hotel for the last night of your holiday. If the weather is fine this evening, why not go to the waterfront area of Aker Brygge where there are many bars and restaurants overlooking the harbour? Alternatively, head to the Oslo Opera House, an amazing building constructed to resemble a glacier emerging from the water. The building is worth a visit, even if you don't go for a performance. (Overnight in Oslo)

After a final breakfast in Oslo, check out of your hotel and continue with your travels. If you wish to extend your holiday, perhaps with an additional day in a different city, one of our Rail Specialists would be happy to assist you with all the details.
