We spent our last day in Bergen doing the Hardangerfjord cruise day trip. There are multiple variations of the trip and we booked the one from Norled Cruises. Norled is a transportation company and not a typical cruise operator. What this means is that the boats of Norled are primarily for transporting passengers between various stops along Hardangerfjord but tourists can use it for sightseeing.

Bus from Bergen to Norheimsund kai

First segment of the trip was a bus journey from Bergen to Norheimsund kai. After reaching Norheimsund kai we switch to a catamaran to Ulvik village. Spent 4-5 hours in Ulvik and return from there the same way we came.

We explored Ulvik and found a stream that ran through the town.

The day of our visit we found pretty much all restaurants closed. We picked up cold sandwiches for lunch at a local grocery store. Late afternoon the same catamaran picked us up from Ulvik harbor and we started our journey back to Norheimsund.

This was also a long 10 hour day trip and we reached Bergen early evening. Looking back this was our least favorite of the 3 fjord cruises we took from Bergen.
