Norway · TRAIN EXPERIENCES
Good train experiences fill up weeks ahead in season; the great ones go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Bergen day trip to Njardarheimr Viking village, the electric Future of The Fjords cruise, and the Flåm Railway, ending via Voss.
“The trip was fabulous. Our driver Linda was excellent, friendly, and professional. Michael our guide was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and so informative (in English and Spanish). A great way to get a taste of the region around Bergen!”
Ride the Ofoten Line from Narvik to Bjørnfjell on an Arctic round trip with fjord views, WWII iron-ore history, and free Wi-Fi.
“The train journey was superb. Fantastic views of the fjord as we climbed towards Sweden. Train journey was comfortable. Plenty of seats but get there early for the best choice as some seats do not have a window. Left hand side gets the best views going towards Sweden but you are asked to change sides for the return trip so everyone has the chance to see the stunning views. It was a shame the onboard coffee machine had no milk though. Be aware that it is a 30 minute walk from the cruise port to the station uphill. There were no taxis to help as they were all at the…”
One day from Bergen with Viking history, Nærøyfjord cruise, and the Flåm and Bergen Lines trains, plus major waterfall stops.
“My husband and I spent part of our honeymoon in Norway and decided to make the most of our time in Bergen by booking this tour. It is jam packed and worth every penny. We didn’t want to close our eyes because every few seconds there was something amazing to see. Pictures do not do it justice. Ivan, our tour guide was genuinely a wonderful person and you can tell he loves what he does. Linda our driver was also incredible, very sweet and drove very smoothly! My one complaint was that I wish we could have spent more time at each stop. However, the itinerary is so packed, it…”
Bergen day trip with Tvindefossen, Njardarheimr Viking Village, UNESCO Nærøyfjord cruise, and the famous Flåm Railway.
“This was an amazing day from start to finish! So glad we did it. Not cheap but it was worth the money.”
Chase the northern lights by train from Narvik to remote Katterat, warm by a campfire and lavvu, with snacks and photo tips.
“What an amazing experience The train ride was fantastic and to top it all we got to see the lights Highly recommend”
Private full day from Oslo to Sognefjord and Flåm, with a fjord cruise, Flåm Railway, and rail connections, plus pickup.
“Janis is a good driver, got us to the boat trip on time. Boat ride is the highlight of the tour it is a long trip, be prepared for a very long day. Sit on the right side of train on ride back. Worth the effort.”
One-day Oslo to Bergen self-guided route with the Flåm Railway, Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord cruises, bus and train links.
“The views were awesome but our first train was delayed due to bad rail road conditions and it delayed everything else. I reached out to Easy Travel and they said we will miss the bus cause everything is booked so closely together. They said Read more”
Private full-day Oslo to Sognefjord trip with Sognefjord cruise and Flåm Railway, plus door-to-door pickup and scenic stops.
“Firstly wanted to thank our tour guide Joonas to make this tour very enjoyable. He arrived on time to pick us up. The van was very spacious, comfortable, and clean. Drive to Geilo was soggy but scenic. Next was train ride from Geilo to Myrdal and then Flåm rail to Flåm — both very scenic. While we walked around Flåm, Joonas stood in the line to board the cruise boat holding our spot. Cruise from Flåm to Gudvangen was awesome. It featured 100s of waterfalls and many small picturesque villages. Fjord itself was amazing. We ended back at our hotel in Oslo at around 11:15pm. It was a long day…”
A self-guided 22-hour Oslo to Sognefjord loop by rail, fjord cruise, and bus, with UNESCO waters, Flåm Railway views, and a steep-road stop.
“Great itinerary, all very well timed and organised. Tickets were sent immediately after booking so we had peace of mind well ahead of our trip. The train journey from Oslo to Myrdal had absolutely stunning views and was an unexpected highlight. The fjord cruise was amazing and made all the travel time worth it. Only docked one star as the night train from Bergen back to Oslo had very uncomfortable seats - definitely worth paying extra for a sleeping compartment if this option is available.”
Bergen in 10 hours: Tvindefossen, UNESCO Nærøyfjord cruise to Flåm, steep Flåm Railway, Viking village, then back to Bergen.
“We had an amazing time, Vilde was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of my brother’s curious questions! She allowed for the whole trip to be a very smooth, comfortable and enjoyable experience. I definitely recommend.”

Ride the Golden Train on Norway’s Rauma Railway, Åndalsnes to Bjorli and back, for guided English stories and big mountain views.
“Great experience we absolutely loved the train journey it was a real highlight to our holiday, couldn’t fault that at all. Disappointed in communication at pick up point literally no one there to assist or tell us where to go, we were told to meet in the car park but no one showed up, we already had the tickets but we needed the golden ticket to alight the train, eventually we managed to find someone to help us (not from your company) and luckily got a seat together. If we’d waited where we were told to wait it could have been a different story! Nevertheless we sorted it out and…”
One guided day in Bergen featuring Viking Village, Nærøyfjord cruise, and the Flåm Railway. Timed for maximum sights.
“This incorporates all the best of the area in one trip at a reasonable cost. Our driver was humourous and gave great history and information on our drive to Gudvagen. After that you are on your ie. but his instructions were so clear we couldn’t go wrong. The Viking village was fun, the cruise up the fjord was wonderful, the sights on the Flam railway were stunning and then the trip by train back to Bergen was relaxing with more beauty out every window. There are no meals supplied but if you eat a big breakfast there are lots of places to get snacks at the Viking village, the ferry…”
Private fjords day from Oslo with the Flåm Railway and a Sognefjord cruise, plus a Hardangervidda drive via Geilo.

“We had an amazing time in the nature of Norway. We took the tour in the low season and it was even more peaceful. There were less people around and we enjoyed the calming nature. Our tour guide Pål was really helpful. We took the best seat in the boat with his advise. It was an amazing experience. Highly recommended!”
