From Bergen: Mostraumen Majestic Fjord & Waterfall Cruise

Join us on this majestic fjord cruise from Bergen to the Osterfjord and Mostraumen strait. Onboard this high-speed catamaran you will experience the landscapes of Bergen's nearby fjords and the Nordhordland region first-hand. 

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. Departure from Dreggekaien Pier in the city centre.

Osterfjorden

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

Mostraumen

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.

Departure from Dreggekaien Pier. The pier is located next to Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf. The fjord cruise boat "MS SOGNDAL" will arrive at Dreggekaien Pier about 30 minutes before the departure time.

This tour will go rain or shine. In winter 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. If there is so much ice that there is no safe passage for boats, the captain will choose an alternative route in the 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.
