The cruise lasted 4 hours, starting at 10:30 and returning to Bergen’s city center at 14:30. The cruise through the Norwegian fjords was an unforgettable journey, one that started in the charming coastal city of Bergen and took me all the way to the tranquil Mo village, nestled deep in the heart of the fjords. This trip gave me a front-row seat to the natural wonders that have made Norway famous—a blend of rugged mountains, serene waters, and picturesque villages that seem frozen in time. Along the way, I met a few fellow travelers, which made the experience even more enjoyable as we took in the incredible views of the fjords
The Departure: Bergen’s Coastal Beauty
The starting point of the cruise was at the heart of Bergen city. Certainly, Bergen’s rich history and maritime culture made it ideal for this route. As we set sail, the iconic Bryggen Wharf slowly disappeared behind us, and we glided into the open waters of the fjords. The interplay between the cityscape and the surrounding mountains is not only visually striking but also emblematic of the city’s identity.
Into the Fjords: Nature at Its Best
As we cruised deeper into the fjords, the scenery became breathtaking. Sheer rock faces loomed over us, plunging straight down into the dark, pristine waters. Waterfalls cascaded down from great heights, their waters glistening in the sunlight before vanishing into the fjord below. Each turn brought something new—whether it was a hidden cove or a small village tucked away at the base of the mountains.
Mo Island
Mo Island is a small and remote island located in the fjord region of Norway. It’s known for its rugged landscapes, steep cliffs, and proximity to the fjords. The island is relatively quiet, offering a glimpse of traditional Norwegian life and the natural surroundings typical of the region. It’s a stop for cruises, allowing visitors to experience the area’s dramatic scenery up close.
