More than a tour. More than a boat. Beyond inspiration, into Norway's living heritage. Maritime Tours connects the right place, vessel, food, activity and experience.
A fjord cruise from Bergen can explore Osterfjord, lead to a seafood meal among the islands or begin a stay beside a fjord. Maritime Tours plans private boat journeys for groups around your destination, guest numbers and available time. Compare six different ideas below, from Mostraumen and Cornelius to Hardanger, Sognefjord and Sunnhordland.
Bergen → Osterfjord → Mostraumen
Choose Osterfjord and Mostraumen when the scenery from the boat is your priority. Decide whether to return directly to Bergen or allow time ashore in Modalen. The route and operation depend on the vessel and conditions.

From Bergen towards Rosendal or Lofthus
Rosendal and Lofthus offer different starting points in Hardanger. Consider the Rosendal area, an agreed visit to a cider producer or a stay at Hotel Ullensvang. Plan the boat, any land transfers and accommodation together.

From Bergen to Sogn – with time to stay
Balestrand on Sognefjord can be combined with a stay at Kviknes Hotel. Allow time for both the journey and the destination. Agree the travel stages and accommodation before settling the programme.

From Bergen to Tysnes or Bekkjarvik
Choose Bekkjarvik in Austevoll for Bekkjarvik Gjestgiveri, or Våge on Tysnes for dining at Mandelhuset. These are separate destinations. Choose your restaurant first, then coordinate the boat journey with your table reservation and return.

Bergen → seafood dining → return
Cornelius on Holmen outside Bergen combines a seafood destination with a journey by boat. Coordinate the restaurant booking, transport and timings. Dining is included only when specified in your proposal.

Bergen or Flesland → Solstrand
Solstrand by Bjørnafjord offers a setting for meetings, shared meals and overnight stays. For groups travelling from Bergen or Flesland, the departure quay and transfers are agreed before booking. Plan the journey around the hotel programme.
Explore this journey →Start with your guest numbers, date and preferred departure area. Compare capacities and facilities in the vessel catalogue, or explore courses and conferences when a meeting is the main purpose. Your proposal confirms the boarding quay, timings, dining and any accommodation. The office address is not automatically the meeting point.
Planning a company outing, hosting clients on board or celebrating with family and friends? The occasion helps determine the right vessel, destination and pace. We help combine the journey with a meal, an activity or a hotel stay. Tell us your guest numbers, preferred date and departure area so we can plan an arrangement with time for both the experience and being together.
For company trips, larger groups, celebrations and events, we help match capacity, vessel, route, food and practical flow.

See the harbour from the water, choosing between a journey close to the city and a longer trip towards Osterfjord.
Explore the destination →Rosendal and Lofthus are different destinations. Choose your visit, cider experience or hotel stay before arranging the transport.
Explore the destination →Flåm lies on Aurlandsfjord. Nærøyfjord is a separate branch, while Balestrand offers a different base for a fjord stay.
Explore the destination →Våge on Tysnes and Rosendal offer different dining and shore-visit options. Agree the main stop, quay and return as one itinerary.
Explore the destination →Fjord scenery and waterfalls shape the experience. A local cruise and a journey starting in Ålesund need different schedules.
Explore the destination →Fishing villages, islands and mountains make the departure harbour important. Plan around your base rather than expecting to see all the islands on one sailing.
Explore the destination →Choose between daylight fjord scenery and an outing after dark. Northern lights depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed.
Explore the destination →Islands and waters close to the city offer a different experience from Western Norway’s steep fjords. Agree whether to stay aboard or include a shore stop.
Explore the destination →How many guests are travelling, where will you board and how much time do you have? Ask whether meals, guiding, shore visits and accommodation are included. Passenger capacity is not the same as overnight capacity. The selected vessel and operator confirm the route, quay and arrangements for your date.
