How it works

From Ålesund, you’ll board MS Bruvik for a tranquil winter cruise through Hjørundfjord, surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains reflected in the still waters below. Far from the crowds, you’ll feel immersed in the fjord’s raw natural beauty.

There are no guided distractions—just the gentle hum of the engine and the soothing sound of waves against the hull, allowing the landscape to take center stage. This is the perfect excursion for anyone seeking a peaceful escape into nature.

A delicious lunch is also included: a hearty vegetable soup made with locally grown produce, a staple of traditional fjord-region cuisine for centuries.
