What you'll experience on Norway in a Nutshell® by Fjord Tours

The Bergen Railway – Your adventure begins aboard one of the world's great train journeys: the Bergensbanen (Bergen Line). From Oslo, you'll cross Hardangervidda, Europe's highest mountain plateau. Look out for reindeer. They're not shy.

The Flåm Railway (Flåmsbana) – At Myrdal, 866 metres above sea level, you switch to the famous Flåmsbana. Twenty kilometres of steep descent. Eleven tunnels. One stop at Kjosfossen waterfall that'll have you reaching for your camera before the train has fully stopped.

The Fjord Cruise – From Flåm, you board a ferry and glide into the Aurlandsfjord, then into the UNESCO-listed Nærøyfjord. Two hours of cliffs rising straight from the water, waterfalls catching the light, and that particular Norwegian silence.

The Nærøy Valley – A scenic coach ride winds through the valley to Voss, where you reconnect with the railway for the final stretch into Bergen.



Beyond the shell: your Norway

The whole of Norway in a Nutshell® by Fjord Tours can be done in a day or two. But why rush Norway? With our Nordic Visitor packages, you can explore further and wider. Your way.

Most of our guests add nights in Oslo and Bergen to explore cobblestone streets, harbourside cafés and world-class museums. Want to wake up in Flåm with the fjord outside your window? Done. Prefer to start from Bergen instead of Oslo? We can flip the route.

Got more time? Extend south to Stavanger by choosing our package including a hike to Pulpit Rock. Sail north on a coastal cruise. Combine it with a journey including Geirangerfjord in a Nutshell™ by Fjord Tours. We specialise in tailoring trips to fit you.

Just tell us what matters to you.

Suzanne, Ireland
Express Norway, August 2024

Everything went like clockwork

Couldn't be more happy with the itinerary and arrangements. All the travelling and connections went like clockwork. The hotels were all very good quality, especially enjoyed the breakfasts. Customer service was fast and efficient when required.

Nancy, United States
Norway in a Nutshell®- Express, August 2024

Outstanding customer service

We really enjoyed our Norway in a Nutshell trip. Julianna, our travel consultant made everything easy and exciting and the customer service throughout the trip when unexpected things happened (cancelled flight) was outstanding. Thank you!

Judith, United Kingdom
Norway in a Nutshell® - Classic, August 2024

Communication with Nordic Visitor is excellent at every stage

Amazing tour. Everything really well organised and clear from instructions prior to trip. Getting to visit Oslo, Flom and Bergen was perfect but the way travelling between them was planned, was just perfect. The optional boat trips booked independently were worth arranging and accommodation was good standard and really convenient. Railway parts of the journey were wonderful plus viewing the fiords from a boat are spectacular. Absolutely loved my trip even the rain! Seeing fiords in the rain really makes you feel you've gone in time. Communication with Nordic Visitor is excellent at every stage too. Have already recommended them to friend and would definitely use them again.

Sarah, United Kingdom
Express Norway, August 2024

All services was excellent, in some cases outstanding!

Everything ran seamlessly thanks to the detailed itinerary and corresponding paperwork, which enabled us to have a relaxing holiday. The quality of hotels, food and all services was excellent, in some cases outstanding.

Victoria, United Kingdom
Norway in a Nutshell® - Classic, August 2024

Everything arranged smoothly for us

Our travel consultant Irja arranged everything smoothly for us, all transfers were smooth and extra activities pre planned and well organised.

Kurtis, United States
Norway in a Nutshell® Express - From Bergen, August 2024

Well planned tour and everything in place

The tour was well planned and everything was in place. We enjoyed the tour, and the accommodations were excellent.

William, United States
Classic Norway, August 2024

Everything worked as planned

Nordic did a great job of making the arrangements and giving us the proper paper work, reacting quickly to some necessary changes. Everything worked as planned, including a change that was better than the plan (staying in Balestrand because Flom had no accommodations left). I admit I was a little confused about the tour progress, so perhaps a graphic of the overall plan would be helpful for clients. But it all worked as planned.

Jonathan , United States
Lofoten Road Trip, August 2024

Top-Notch Support

The tour was excellent, and the team was able to customize our trip by adding a few days. The accommodations were excellent. The support before and during the trip was great.
