Alesund to Bergen

7 days Luxury Yacht Charter Experience

Cruising from Alesund to Bergen offers the best of the Norwegian fjords

The Norwegian fjords are an inspiring natural wonder. Boasting waterfalls and glaciers alongside small towns where fishing is still the main industry, a trip here will truly put you at one with nature

ALESUND

DAY 1

Alesund is spread across two islands at the entrance to the Geirangerfjord and has been named Norway' s most beautiful city.
After a devastating fire in 1904 wiped out 850 old buildings and homes, locals rebuilt the town in the very desirable Art Nouveau style.
The town is even a member of the "Reseau Art Nouveau Network" bringing together Art Nouveau cities such as Helsinki, Budapest and Vienna.
Taste the local fish delicacies in the Alesund's fine fish restaurants, climb the 418 steps from the central park to admire the views of the town and harbour from the top of Mount Aksla or simply meander through the streets admiring the imaginative ornate buildings in town.
