The fjord runs along the municipal border of Lindås and Osterøy municipalities. The fjord begins at the Romarheimsfjorden and flows to the west for 27 kilometres (17 mi) before ending near the village of Knarvik at the confluence of four fjords: Osterfjorden, Radfjorden (to the north), Sørfjorden (to the south), and Salhusfjorden (to the west). The Osterfjorden is generally about 1 to 3 kilometres (0.62 to 1.86 mi) wide and the deepest point in the fjord reaches a depth of 639 metres (2,096 ft) below sea level.

Additional Information

Join us on this 4-hour fjord cruise to the scenic Osterfjord and Mostraumen Channel. Experience the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of traveling through the majestic Norwegian fjords on a scenic boat tour departing from Bergen. On board the high speed catamaran you will experience the magnificent landscape in Bergen’s nearby fjords and the Nordhordland region. When sailing out from Bergen’s inner harbor you will have a great view to some of the oldest and most relevant historical sites in the city, including the medieval fortress Bergenhus, St Mary’s Church and the colorful Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf, which is on UNESCO’s World Heritage list. From there, we sail through beautiful Western-Norwegian scenery in the Cityfjord, Salhusfjord and Osterfjord towards the dramatic Mostraumen Channel. The captain safely steers the boat through narrow sounds, a maze of islands, deep fjords and beautiful waterfalls. Departure from Dreggekaien Pier in the city centre.

  • This tour will go in rain or shine. In the winter months, it can happen that the sea freezes in the innermost part of the fjord where there is a lot of fresh water mixed with the sea water, brackish water. If there is so much ice that there is no safe passage for boats, the captain will then choose an alternative route in this area. This is beyond our control and it does not give grounds for claiming a refund for the trip. We will always do our best to give our customers great experiences, even on days when the forces of nature are not easy to handle.
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

5-Star Plus! - Beautiful long views down the fjord, Charming villages and farms all along the way, the narrow passage we went through. Actually, all of it! We spent quite a bit of time on the bow, even though it was rather cold. Wow!

Magical! - We had a fabulous time!! The crew, albeit small, was remarkably kind and attentive. At one point the Captain invited our family onto the deck, and kindly answered our inquisitive questions. Not to mention the views, wow!! The entire experience was incredible.

Great final excursion - The embarkation process was quick and efficient. Seats were comfortable. There was plenty of room and it was easy to move around. The bathrooms were clean throughout the 4 hour trip. The commentary was informative and relevant. The staff was helpful and courteous. Nice selection at the snack bar. A great way to see beautiful scenery for an afternoon.

Bucket List Experience! - Incredible experience! 2 hours inward journey to the fjords and then 2 hours back retracing the same path. If you can handle the wind, the bow is the best place to be. It gets cold and will rain spontaneously so make sure you bring layers and a hat and umbrella. Inside there are drinks and light snacks for sale (but obviously Norwegian prices $$$) and there are outlets to charge your phones. Inside sitting area and two toilets available. I felt like the captain gave good information on sites we were passing by, but this was only in English and was sporadic. Overall I felt like this was a great value for money and would definitely do it again!

Spectacular Views! - Spectacular views from a comfortable vessel! We recommend sitting outside rather than inside, to get the full experience of the fresh air and sea breeze. About 4+ hours total.

Rain - Not worth it if it's raining. Tv monitors could display what you could have seen. Staff was friendly and efficient.

Didn't make the trip and will only ever buy excursions from the cruise line! - We paid for what we thought was a 2 1/2 hour tour. When we got to to the dock we ran into other Sky Princess travelers who also thought it was 2 1/2 hours and we were all afraid to leave for a 4 hour tour at 2:30 pm when we had to be back on the ship at 6:30 pm. They sold their 4 tickets to other people on the dock for cash. the only reason we didn't sell ours is that the couple who wanted them didn't have cash. They did get on the boat and paid with their card on the boat. We were told that no refund was available less that 24 hours before sailing - even though our place was taken right there on the dock and with a waiting line of others waiting to see if space was going to be available.

Disappointing - The cruise ship port is nowhere near the dock where this tour departs from. There’s a mention that the tour ship is there 30 minutes early, but there’s no pick up at the cruise port, no directions, no helpers, or guides. We headed towards the dock, got lost, finally got a taxi, but got to the dock after the ship had left. Tried to get a refund, but it was refused. Probably would have been a great trip, but they need to provide help getting to the dock or move their ship to the cruse port. Talked to someone employed by the company who mentioned that tour is usually overbooked; now I know why - it’s very hard to find and I’ll bet many people miss it. Very disappointing.
