This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Voss Municipality, Voss Municipality, Hordaland, Western Norway
Voss is a municipality in Vestland county. The administrative center is the village of Vossevangen. Voss is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, forests, lakes and fast-flowing whitewater rivers. This has led to its development as a notable center of skiing, watersport, skydiving, paragliding and other adventure sports. Every year in the last week of June the area hosts the Ekstremsportveko (Extreme Sports Week), which is regarded as the world's premier extreme sport festival. Bømoen, the local airstrip, is home to Skydive Voss, one of the largest dropzones in Norway, as well as a gliding club. The rivers provide various levels of white water, attracting kayaking, rafting and river boarding. Kite surfing and para-bungee may be seen on lake Vangsvatnet. The ski area, to the north of the town, is accessible via a cable car, Voss Gondol.

Tvindefossen is a waterfall near Voss on the road to Flåm. The many-stranded 110 meters high waterfall is formed by a small stream, the Kroelvi, tumbling over a receding cliff. It is famous for its beauty and many stop here to admire it.
Pass By: Stalheimskleiva, Stalheim Norway
The small village of Stalheim lies along the highway in the northeastern part of the Voss municipality. The village sits at a high point in the inner part of the Nærøydal valley which leads northeastwards towards the Nærøyfjorden. The Stalheimsfossen waterfall is the most notable sight in the area and the view from Stalheim hotel is well-known from several paintings.

The Nærøyfjord is a narrow fjord in the municipality of Aurland and is a branch of the large Sognefjord. The 18-kilometre (11 mi) long fjord is only 250metres (800 ft) wide in some parts. The river Nærøydalselvi flows down the valley Nærøydalen into the fjord at the village of Gudvangen. Since 2005, the Nærøyfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and it has also been rated by National Graphic Society as the world's number one natural heritage site.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Aurlandsfjord, Norway
The Aurlandsfjord flows through the municipalities of Auland, Vik and Lærdal. The 29-kilometre (18 mi) long fjord is a branch off of the main Sognefjorden, Norway's longest fjord. The fjord is deep and narrow, reaching a depth of about 962 metres (3,156 ft) and its width is generally less than 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide. About 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) south of the mouth of the fjord, the Nærøyfjord branches off from it to the west. The village of Flåm sits at the innermost part of the Aurlandsfjord; other villages along the fjord are Aurlandsvangen and Undredal. Most of the fjord is surrounded by up to 1,800-metre (5,900 ft) tall, steep mountains with little habitation along the fjord except for in a few small valleys.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Flåmsbana, A-Feltvegen 11, 5743 Flåm, Norway
The Flåm Railway may be one of the most scenic and beautiful train rides in the world, and has become more and more popular over the years. Tourists from all over the world visit Norway to experience Flåm Railway. The 20.2-kilometer (12.6 mi) long railway line runs between Flåm and Myrdal , through the valley of Flåmsdalen and connects the Bergen Railway with Sognefjorden. The line's elevation difference is 866 meters (2,841 ft); it has ten stations, twenty tunnels and one bridge. The maximum gradient is 5.5 percent (1:18). Because of its steep gradient and picturesque nature, the Flåm Line is now almost exclusively a tourist service and has become the third-most visited tourist attraction in Norway. Construction of the line started in 1924, with the line opening in 1940. It allowed the district of Sogn access to Bergen and Oslo via the Bergen Line. Electric traction was taken into use in 1944.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Kjosfossen Waterfall, Rallarvegen, Myrdal 5742 Norway
Kjosfossen is one of the most visited waterfalls in Norway, located next to the Flåm Railway. It's an impressive sight and the sound of the water is like thunder. A trip on the Flåmsbana Railway takes you right past the waterfall. In 1951, a stopping place for the railway was built near the waterfall to give train passengers an opportunity to see it up close!
Duration: 10 minutes
Stop At: Myrdal Station, Rallarvegen I, Myrdal 5718 Norway
Bergen Railway, Myrdal - Voss
The Bergen Railway is a 496 kilometres (308 mi) long scenic standard gauge railway line between Bergen and Oslo. It is the highest mainline railway line in Northern Europe, crossing the Hardangervidda plateau at 1,237 metres (4,058 ft) above sea level. The railway opened from Bergen to Voss in 1883 as the narrow Voss gauge line. In 1909 the route was continued over the mountain to Oslo and the whole route converted to standard gauge and the Voss Line became part of the Bergen Line. The Flåm Railway remains as the only branch line, after the closure of the Hardanger Line.

Terribly expensive for what it was. I basically paid hundreds of pounds just for train tickets which I could have purchased directly much cheaper.We had car rented and it would almost cost us nothing if we drove from Bergen( only 2 h drive one way). Took ages on public transport to get to boat tour which took 1.5 h out of 10 hours trip. Very bad experience, unfortunately I am very disappointed and feel that I have been completely ripped off. I would NOT recommend using this service.

A long day but so worth it to see a winter wonderland. Seeing Voss, Flam and the Fjords was like stepping into a Christmas Card. Beautiful.

The self-guided tour was so easy to follow. Several days before I left the states, I received all the tickets for our trip so I could print them out at home. We went on the shortest day of the year for sunlight, but it was still plenty bright to enjoy the scenic parts. Boy is it scenic. The boat is warm and comfortable. My only comment is that there was not a lot of options to get food that we wanted to eat. I would recommend bringing sandwiches to eat on the train or bus ( you can't eat outside food on boat). The boat just had hot dogs and pastries.

I booked a Railway & Fjord cruise with Viator for Bergen, Norway. We arrived at the train station before the scheduled time that I received on our itinerary. When we arrived at the train station they said our train left at 8:00, 30 minutes earlier than the information that was sent to me. I tried to call Viator but no one answered. The phone # on the Viator reservation was for a third party and they said Viator was responsible for helping us. Everything with Viator was an AI CHAT that was NOT helpful! We were extremely upset that Viator could not help us rebook and would not issue a refund! This Fjord Cruise & Flam Railway was $1200! We absolutely deserve a refund due to their lack of communication! We were only in Bergen for 3 days and this was the only excursion we had booked. I would appreciate someone from Viator reaching out to give us a refund.

The boat was very nice; provided a warm, safe place, considering it was very cold outside. The scenery was exceptional.

Good instructions and guides provided. Beautiful trip would recommend to take lunch as not sufficient time to have lunch during changes.

The view while on the boat was amazing.
The cafe in the boat with food and drinks was a big plus.
The train ride was also a great experience. The stops at the water falls were greatly appreciated
