Thank you! I’ve watched many train driver videos of the Flåmsbana and definitely want to take this journey when I go to Flam on a cruise in May 2026. This tells me everything I need to know.
From a Norwegian, the rail-rail-fast boat trip out of Sognefjorden and back to Bergen is spectacular even for us locals. Have a lovely time. PS - Pro-tip - check the hours. If it is getting past 20:00 on return to Bergen by boat this time of year, it could be valid to reverse the route as a lot of the train ride an hour from Bergen is inside tunnels - thus daylight is not that necessary.
Extremely well done. Beautiful video, informative narration that supports the video but doesn’t distract. Great tips for inquirers preparing to visit this destination. Great voice for the narration and first person presentation. Editing is indiscernible and that’s not something everyone can accomplish. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and thanks so much for taking the time to comment too. That's such as shame about missing out on the train. Hopeful you can visit again sometime. Flam is a wonderful port - i hope you had a great time nevertheless.
MY wife and I are traveling to Norway in 181 days and counting. I had an coach on my Soccer staff from Norway. He use to talk it all the Time, I after a while started checking into Norway and its beauty. Friends ask me "why Norway?" I tell them God found an open spot he forgot when creating our earth he noticed a void, He wanting it something special, He created Norway! We are so stoked, trying to learn some of the language. Its also our 50th wedding anniversary! See ya soon..
Hello we will be in Noway soon and i have a question. When talking about what side to sit on the train for pictures and views you stated to sit on the right side; are you saying the right side when facing the head of the train or the back of the train? Thanks for all the great information!
Hello greetings. Thank you for tge video. So nice. Can you give me some info. Please, ill be travelling to norway in a few months from now. When you say in the Train the best view to take pics and for the landscape its in our right hand side, but its when you enter in the train or when you are seated. That differs. And about the best time of the day to make que trip.?Thank you. Best regards❤
its the right hand side when facing the direction of travel. Time wise - early morning means you miss the crowds so if you can get on the first couple of trains then it might be quieter. Hope that helps. Have a great time in Flam and thanks for watching.
If you go to the Norways best website (link in the video and description above) you can book one way. Details of the future of the fjords ship are in this video: ruclips.net/video/wwCBJzvaYjA/видео.html - however you can’t join a cruise ship in Flam
Hi there! thanks for watching. Booking independently will always be significantly cheaper thank through the cruise line. My advice is to book in advance - more information is in the video.
Hello my client s will be in Flam on June 24. 2025. Their cruise ship will arrive at 0700 am and depart by 1530. Is it possible to take the Falm Rail way early in the morning 0800 and be back by 1400 the same day? I hope to hear from you! Thank you. Maud
Hi Maud - yes this is possible as the round trip only takes two hours (if the do the direct journey and don’t get off at the top) - most cruise passengers do the direct return journey. To book, just use the website I’ve mentioned in the video, to book tickets about 6 months out to get the best pick of ticket times - one about 9:30 or 10:30 am should leave enough time to get off the ship and also get them back by or just before lunch time to explore the rest of beautiful Flam. You might want to show them this video of other things to do in Flam too ruclips.net/video/wwCBJzvaYjA/видео.htmlsi=wLyEV075XdpRccGo
It’s all depends on how fast/slow you want to go. Have you tried rome2rio.com - enter the destinations in there and see what comes up as the cheapest option for the dates you’re thinking about. Hope that helps.
@@CruiseWithAmber awesome, can you actually touch and feel the snow in Myrdal in May or it is still so high in the peaks? The weather is any different than usual summer there?
@@FarooqF-g2x I was on a cruise which called in this port. There are several option to stay in Flam - www.booking.com/searchresults.en.html?city=-257972&aid=8082097&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2
Yes, about 50 mins each way. It doesn’t stop on a glacier it just stops at Myrdal station where passengers can connect to another train service to Oslo and Bergen.
@@CruiseWithAmber I feel the mountain cog railway from Kleine Scheideg to Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland is better for scenery especially the last stage into Lauterbrunnen.
Very helpful and informative video. Thanks so much!
Thanks for watching - i'm so pleased it was helpful.
Beautiful thank you for the tips.
thank you - glad you enjoyed it.
Wow beautiful. Will be doing the train journey next year.
Thank you - and thanks for watching. Flåm is just gorgeous anytime of the year. Remember to sit on the right on the way up
Master piece of engineering and sooo pretty!
@@zapfanzapfan I agree!

Much appreciated! That is such lovely feedback 🥹 thank you.
thanks for sharing! we went to the Flam last month through a cruise ship but we did not get a chance to ride a train due to fully booked.

Right side in the director the train is headed when you leave - I sat on the right ride on the way up in the video.
Maybe I missed but myrdal to Flam which side is the best to sit on?
Left 😊 but both sides have some spectacular views of the scenery.
The waterfall is in Myrdal ?
It’s on the way to Myrdal

How to book one way ticket from myrdal to flam and how to book ticket for cruiseflam oneway
If you go to the Norways best website (link in the video and description above) you can book one way. Details of the future of the fjords ship are in this video:
ruclips.net/video/wwCBJzvaYjA/видео.html - however you can’t join a cruise ship in Flam
I've seen an excursion option for this but its double the price of booking independently! Was it difficult to get a seat?

I didn't understand which is the site for train reservations
It’s the Norways best site.
@@CruiseWithAmber Thank You!
@@octaviatravelstheworld703 no problem - have a great time in Flam. It's my favourite port.
Is there any way to get to Myrdal or Flåm from Bergen, cheaper then the R40 / F4 train?
It’s all depends on how fast/slow you want to go. Have you tried rome2rio.com - enter the destinations in there and see what comes up as the cheapest option for the dates you’re thinking about. Hope that helps.
I can' t fibd the link??😢 thank you in adv
Is this the link to book? This is in the description (Norways best website)
Which month you went?
May. 😊
@@CruiseWithAmber awesome, can you actually touch and feel the snow in Myrdal in May or it is still so high in the peaks? The weather is any different than usual summer there?
@@FarooqF-g2x it was more on the peaks when we were there.
@@CruiseWithAmber Did you stay in hotel in Flöm or what would be the reasonable budget place to stay?
@@FarooqF-g2x I was on a cruise which called in this port. There are several option to stay in Flam - www.booking.com/searchresults.en.html?city=-257972&aid=8082097&no_rooms=1&group_adults=2
I think the train takes about two hours round trip and just a 5-minute stop on a glacier seems very short to me.
Yes, about 50 mins each way. It doesn’t stop on a glacier it just stops at Myrdal station where passengers can connect to another train service to Oslo and Bergen.
I thought it started in Oslo?
There is one line which goes to Oslo from Myrdal and one to Bergen/Voss
.Great video. Like me.
Cool, thanks
🌹🌹🌹
☺️
The show with woman is so tourist like, unnecessary and it destroyce the atmosphere
Yes, Some people don't like it.
overrated, J & K train in India and Glacier express and Bernina express in Swiss are way ahead
not travelled those routes yet, but if it's any things better than Flam then they must me amazing. Thanks for watching 😁
@@CruiseWithAmber I feel the mountain cog railway from Kleine Scheideg to Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland is better for scenery especially the last stage into Lauterbrunnen.
