From corporate gatherings and private celebrations to fjord cruises and tailored sea transport, Maritime Tours helps you find the right vessel, route and experience, with Bergen and Western Norway as a natural starting point.
Established in 1993, Maritime Tours has spent more than three decades creating tailored experiences on the water in Bergen, Western Norway and along the Norwegian coast. What began as a local maritime operator has grown into a trusted partner for private groups, companies, travel planners and visitors looking for something more considered than a standard sightseeing trip.
Today, we offer access to a broad and flexible fleet — from classic vintage vessels and high-speed boats to sailing vessels, smaller private boats, modern low-emission options and luxury yachts. That flexibility allows us to shape each journey around the route, the group, the atmosphere and the purpose of the day.
Western Norway is best explored with local knowledge, the right vessel and time to take in the landscape properly. Below are some of the experiences that continue to attract both international guests and Norwegian groups looking for something memorable.
A standout journey for guests who want scenery, design and gastronomy in one experience. Travel by boat into the Hardangerfjord to the striking Salmon Eye visitor centre, then continue to Restaurant Iris for one of Norway’s most talked-about dining experiences. Ideal for private groups, incentives and clients looking for a distinctive premium experience.
Enquire About This Experience →One of the classic fjord journeys from Bergen. Mostraumen combines narrow straits, steep mountain sides, powerful waterfalls and a sense of drama that is difficult to experience from land. It is a strong choice for visitors who want a concentrated fjord experience with real visual impact.

A full-day journey into one of Norway’s most iconic fjord landscapes. Hardanger combines steep mountains, orchards, small villages, cider farms and a calmer, more expansive fjord atmosphere. This is a natural choice for guests who want a blend of scenery, local flavour and curated stops.
Enquire About This Experience →Not every memorable day has to be built around one famous fjord. The waterways around Bergen, the surrounding islands and the coastal routes beyond the city offer a rich mix of maritime culture, local food, open sea, sheltered passages and custom itineraries. These routes work particularly well for tailored private and corporate groups.

The scale of Western Norway is difficult to understand from the road alone. From the water, the mountains rise more dramatically and the transition between city, coast and wilderness becomes part of the experience.
Many of the most memorable places are found between the well-known landmarks: narrow straits, quiet anchorages, island communities and waterside destinations that make far more sense by boat than by car.
For corporate groups, families, celebrations and invited guests, the sea creates a setting that immediately feels different. It slows the right things down, removes distractions and makes the day feel more intentional.
A tailored maritime experience gives you far more control over pace, route, stopovers, catering, atmosphere and timing. That is one of the reasons both leisure guests and companies choose to work with an experienced maritime operator.
