From Ålesund: Round Trip Fjord Cruise to Geirangerfjord

Experience one of Norway’s most beautiful fjord landscapes on a round-trip cruise from Ålesund to the UNESCO World Heritage–listed Geirangerfjord. Depart conveniently from 'Skutvika' which is an easy 10 minutes walk on the flat from the city center. The address is "Nedre Strandgate 53, 6003 Ålesund, Norway". You will see the boarding gate right beside the 'KIWI' supermarket.
Please arrive at least 30 minutes before departure for boarding and check-in.

Your journey takes place on a modern, comfortable catamaran equipped with a large outdoor viewing deck and a spacious indoor lounge with panoramic windows. A small kiosk on board offers coffee, tea, and light snacks. The cruise takes approximately 3 hours each way, providing plenty of time to take in the impressive scenery.

As you leave Ålesund behind, watch the coastal landscape transform into dramatic fjord scenery — steep mountain walls, lush valleys, and scattered farms clinging to the hillsides. Along the way, you can listen to our free “Guide to Go Official” audio guide app, which provides fascinating insights into the history, nature, and culture of the region. The app is available in several languages and can be downloaded to your smartphone before departure.

The highlight of the trip is the approach to the Geirangerfjord, one of Norway’s most famous fjords and a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. Capture unforgettable views of the “Seven Sisters” and “The Suitor” waterfalls as the boat glides smoothly through this spectacular landscape.

Upon arrival in Geiranger, you will have between 1 and 3 hours of free time (depending on the day’s schedule) to explore the village at your own pace. You can stroll along the Waterfall Walk, visit the Geiranger UNESCO World Heritage Center, or enjoy lunch at one of the local cafés or restaurants overlooking the fjord.

After your stay, board the same vessel for your return journey to Ålesund, where you can relax and enjoy the stunning views once more.

This round-trip fjord cruise is an easy and comfortable way to experience Norway’s dramatic fjord landscape. Perfect for travelers who want to see the Geirangerfjord in a single day, it combines convenience, comfort, and unforgettable scenery in one seamless experience.
