Hardangerfjord — Tailor-Made · 60°07′N 6°44′E · Bespoke
Built entirely around what your group wants.
Fjord cruising joined to glacier, mountain and table — Bondhusvatnet, Folgefonna, Trolltunga, via ferrata, cider tasting, and dinner worth sitting down for.
This is the charter with no fixed shape. It starts as a Hardangerfjord crossing and becomes whatever the group is actually after.
The pieces available include Bondhusvatnet and its glacier-fed lake, the Folgefonna plateau, Trolltunga for those who want the walk, via ferrata for those who want the rock, and the cider farms along the fjord that have been making it since the monks arrived.
Because it is assembled rather than scheduled, it needs a conversation first. Tell us who is coming, what they can manage and what they would enjoy, and we will build the days around that.
The highlights
No timetable — where we linger shifts with the season, the weather and what you want out of the day.
A conversation first
What your group wants out of it, how active they are, and how many days you have.
The crossing
Bergen to Hardanger by sea, timed to whatever comes next.
On the water
Fjord arms, waterfalls, and villages reachable only from the fjord.
Ashore
Bondhusvatnet, Folgefonna, Trolltunga or via ferrata — as much or as little as suits.
The table
Cider tasting along the fjord and dinner arranged to match the day.

Questions
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can. Guides, tables and berths all have to line up, and the good combinations go first.
Do we need to be fit?
Only for the parts you choose. Trolltunga is a serious full-day walk; cider tasting is not. The point of this charter is that you pick.
Is the boat private to our group?
Yes. The vessel is reserved exclusively for your group — no other guests aboard and no shared seating.
How many people can come?
Up to twelve guests. The price is for the whole boat, so it does not change with group size.
What happens if the weather is bad?
West-coast weather moves quickly, and the captain will often reroute to sheltered water rather than cancel. If conditions make the trip unsafe, we reschedule or refund in full.
