After a delightful breakfast, we embark on one of the most spectacular days of the journey, crossing the breathtaking landscapes of inland Norway, where fjords, glaciers, lakes, and forests will gift us with unforgettable postcard views.
Our first stop will be the majestic Tvindefossen waterfall, a beautiful cascade surrounded by lush vegetation and mountains, perfect for capturing stunning photographs.
From here, we head towards the Sogn Fjord, the largest and deepest fjord in Norway, where we will enjoy an unforgettable experience aboard a cruise. For more than an hour and a half, we will sail between Gudvangen and Aurland (or, in some cases, Flåm), admiring the towering cliffs, waterfalls, and picturesque villages that line this arm of the fjord. We suggest taking this opportunity to have lunch onboard while soaking in the spectacular Norwegian landscapes.
We continue our journey through impressive mountains and snow-covered valleys. We will pass through the Aurland Tunnel, which, at 24.5 km long, holds the title of the longest road tunnel in the world.
On the way, we will make a brief stop to visit the Borgund Stave Church (admission included). Built in the 12th century, it is the best-preserved medieval wooden church in Norway and a magnificent example of Viking and Christian architecture fused in a unique style.
In the afternoon, we arrive in Oslo, the vibrant Norwegian capital. You will have free time to explore the city at your own pace: stroll along the harbor, wander through the lively central streets, or admire the iconic sculptures in Frogner Park, home to the famous Gustav Vigeland sculpture ensemble.
Please note that the usual disembarkation point for the fjord cruise is Aurland, but occasionally it may be Flåm.
Greca Tip: For an authentic culinary experience in Oslo, try rakfisk (fermented trout) or enjoy a traditional Norwegian hot dog from a street vendor—a popular option among the locals!
