Enjoy the silence – full immersion into the tranquility of nature

How it works

From Ålesund, you’ll board MS Bruvik for a tranquil winter cruise into the Hjørundfjord, nestled between majestic snow-capped mountains that mirror themselves in the still water. It’s far away from the crowds, and you’ll feel deeply immersed in its raw, natural beauty.

There are no guiding distractions, just the gentle hum of the engine and the soothing splash of waves, allowing the landscape to take centre stage. This is the perfect tour if you're seeking a peaceful escape into nature.

A delicious lunch is also included – a hearty vegetable soup, made from locally grown produce, that has been a staple in the fjord region’s cuisine for centuries.
