You’ll step aboard a vintage 1949 motorship, MS Bruvik, for a scenic cruise along the breathtaking Hjørundfjord. Expert local guides will bring the fjord's history and communities to life as you sail to the village of Sæbø.
From there, we’ll head to Rekkedal Guesthouse – a 16th-century working farm still run by the same family for 20 generations. Explore the farmyard before settling in for a four-course dinner beside the traditional fireplace in a beautifully preserved 1880 barn. Each dish is introduced to you as it arrives, with many ingredients sourced from the farm or local producers.
Bellies full, we’ll return to Ålesund aboard MS Bruvik, with the stunning fjord scenery as our backdrop.
