Hardangerfjord Classic Ferry Cruise: Bergen–Rosendal Round Trip

Board an elegant full-day fjord cruiser for a leisurely round-trip voyage through the world-famous Hardangerfjord, gliding past medieval stave churches, fruit orchards in bloom, and Norway's most celebrated waterfalls.

What to expect

The vessel glides south past the famous Steindalsfossen and Låtefossen waterfalls, their spray catching rainbows in the morning light. An English-speaking guide narrates the history of the Hardanger — Viking sagas, the famous Hardanger fiddle tradition, and the region's fruit-growing heritage. Warm, freshly made waffles served onboard are a quintessential Norwegian ritual not to be skipped. The route rounds into the sheltered waters of Rosendal, dominated by the glacier-capped Folgefonna massif, before the scenic return.

Good to know

Confirm departure and return times carefully against your ship's all-aboard schedule. Jondal is a stop on the Hardangerfjord ferry network; board directly at the pier. Warm layers are recommended even in summer. Book seats in advance during peak season — the covered forward saloon offers the best panoramic views.
