This Bergen fjord cruise tour has a maximum capacity of 20 people, due to the smaller size of the minivan. This makes the tour feel a lot more intimate and less of a ‘mass tourism’ trip. Likewise, the main fjord cruise that usually departs from Gudvangen village could not due to the water around the area freezing up. Therefore instead, we visited Gudvangen for a food / toilet stop as planned but instead boarded the fjord cruise vessel from a village located 5 minutes up the fjord, called Undredal.
