Norway Fjords Luxury Journey: Oslo to Bergen

Arrive into Oslo and transfer privately to your hotel. Oslo has one of the most concentrated collections of world-class museums of any European capital.

The National Museum, which opened in 2022, holds the largest collection of art, architecture and design in the Nordic countries. The Munch Museum sits across the fjord in Bjørvika. The Viking Ship Museum on the Bygdøy peninsula houses three of the best-preserved Viking ships in the world.

Your private guide covers the city by vehicle, starting at the Opera House, whose white granite roof slopes down to the water and was designed so you can walk across it. The Aker Brygge waterfront is where saunas float in the harbour alongside working fishing boats.

Oslo’s restaurant scene is worth a night of its own. The city now has more than a dozen Michelin-starred restaurants, most of them built around Norwegian produce and seafood from the surrounding fjord.

From Flåm, the private transfer to Bergen passes through Gudvangen at the end of the Nærøyfjord, then up through Voss before the final descent into the city. Founded by the Vikings in the 11th century, it was for several hundred years the largest city in Norway and the main trading port of the Hanseatic League, a network that stretched across northern Europe.

The coloured wooden buildings of Bryggen, the old wharf district, have stood in various forms since the 14th century and are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Your private guide covers Bryggen and the Hanseatic Museum before continuing to Troldhaugen, Edvard Grieg’s former home on the shore of Nordåsvannet lake south of the city. The villa and composing hut are preserved as they were during his lifetime. Mount Fløyen is reached by funicular from the city centre, with views across the harbour and the seven surrounding mountains.
