Cruises visiting Gudvangen

Located at the end of Nærøyfjord, one of the many arms of iconic Sognefjord, the village of Gudvangen is nestled among some of Norway's most picturesque landscapes. Like most towns on the edges of the fjords, Gudvangen offers sightseeing aboard local boats and kayak and canoe rentals. The nearby Vikingebyen is a living museum with actors in costume, craft displays, and storytelling. A 20-minute drive brings you to the small town of Flåm, at the end of yet another arm of Sognefjord, where you can board the Flåm Railway at sea level and travel a mere 12 miles to reach Myrdal Station at an altitude of 2,850 feet. It is among the steepest railways on earth and has been named by Lonely Planet Traveler "the world's best train ride."
