Worst part of our experience in Bergen. We thought we would enjoy a nice 4 hr cruise from Vik to Bergen and paid a fair sum to get by taxi from Bergen to Vik. The drive was amazing and I would highly recommend it. The boat ride however was a major let down. The boat was over crowded and had no assigned seating; furthermore, many folks had plonked bags or other personal items on the seats next to them claiming the seats even if there was nobody coming to sit on them. So it was a major challenge to find empty seats. Even after we had found seats towards the interior of the boat, we had to look through awful dirty windows through which we could barely see anything.

Read moreHad a very nice daytrip, 12 hours on the Sognefjord, but it was worth it. We went to Flåm, in the end of the Fjord, the most beautifull part. The trip and stunning views were perfect, but the 2 toilets for 290 people: horrible, not cleaned. The boat goes very fast and outside, on the deck, theres a lot of wind. Seats (inside) are very good, with big windows at 2 sides, but there are also seats in the middle with no/bad view on the fjords. You're better early for boarding so you can choose were to sit if you want to see the beauty of the...
