Amazing 4-days experience, being pampered and taken care of way above our expectations. Boat is comfortable and well looked after, stocked with drinks and goodies, service is incredible! Our luggage was delayed and Iselin picked it up herself the next day at the airport and drove about 3 hours to deliver it to us. Communication with Captain Svein was a delight, and captain Joachim took excellent care of us. It was a dream come true!

Iselin and Svein created the most special experience for my family’s four day fjord cruise. Everything exceeded our expectations, starting with the boat, which is beautiful, pristine, spacious, and extremely comfortable. Iselin was so thoughtful, knowledgeable, patient and flexible with our group of seven, including four adults, a 23 year old, 11 year old and 8 year old. We got a taste of everything we wanted, and much, much more! We enjoyed a bit of history at the Rosendal Baroniet, hikes to explore some exquisite nature (and to work off some of our excessive eating), a thrilling glacier adventure, a delicious cider tasting at a family owned, award-winning apple farm, an interactive visit to a wooden ship building museum, countless breathtaking waterfall encounters, a wonderful nature-center visit, fishing (and catching!!) in various ports, and relaxing with family on the boat. Svein could not have been a better captain and guide to the beautiful and charming fjord villages we were fortunate to visit. He made sure all our needs were met — from delicious drinks and snacks on board, to help with blankets and dishes, to adjusting the itinerary, if needed, to meet our interests and timing. We are all quite well traveled, and agree that this cruise is up there as one of the most special experiences we’ve ever had! We can’t thank you enough, Iselin and Svein!

WOW! Our 4 day yacht experience was the absolute highlight of our trip! We are still talking about it! Every detail was perfect! Our captain was so much fun and easy to work with. The excursions were great, as were all the stops in villages. We had our daughter’s wedding on board and it was perfect; from the cake to the flowers to the perfect waterfall location! We have already started planning our return trip next year! Thank you for the best ever!

We are from California, and had a 3 week trip to Europe this year. We had a week in Bergen and the fjords, and stayed on this yacht for 4 days.
The cruise-itinerary was as planned, and worked perfect. The places on the route was lovely, and we have never experienced nature, waterfalls, glacier, fjords cruise like this before.
We have already reccomended the cruise to our friends, and are actually talking about going back ourselves as well, for a longer cruise.
Great planning together with the owner of the boat, and lovely captain that took us around these days. Reccomended.

We have had a long time of planning this cruise before we started. A lot of mails with the boat company, to make sure we will have a best possible experience. The captain had done what he can to please us, as he is local and know all the best locations and places to go. Finally we agreed on the itinerary, and where to stop, stay overnight, and what to see and do.
From the moment we met the captain in the boat in Bergen, we understood that this cruise would be great. We walked from the hotel and down to the harbour in Bergen after breakfast at the hotel. Boat was located in the middle of the city, easy to find. We cruised to Rosendal (Baroniet), Jondal, where we stayed first night. Day 2 at the glacier Folgefonna, and then over to Norheimsund for overnight. Day 3 Steinsdalsfossen waterfall, and a wooden boat centre. Cruising further in the Hardanger fjord to Eidfjord, great scenery all the way. Nice weather as well. Overnight in Eidfjord, and next day we had a driver to take us up to the Vøringsfoss, Norwegian naturecenter, and the huge dam on the Hardangervidda.
Cruising back out the fjord, and visited Fyksesund, a narrow very beautifull fjord. Waterfalls with shower, and possible to swim. Lovely fjord, soo silent and remote in here, no other people. Could only hear the waterfalls dropping down to the fjord...
Continued to Norheimsund, and had a van back to Bergen.
What can I say, we loved the trip. We reccomend everything, and it was great to have a local captain that knew everything about the area. Good service all the way. Nice people in the villages. Good food at the restaurants.
