Introducing Sognefjorden

Sognefjorden, the world’s longest (203km) and Norway’s deepest (1308m) fjord, cuts a deep slash across the map of western Norway. In places, sheer walls rise more than 1000m above the water while elsewhere a gentler shoreline supports farms, orchards and villages. The broad, main waterway is impressive but by cruising into its narrower arms, such as the deep and lovely Nærøyfjord to Gudvangen, you’ll see idyllic views of abrupt cliff faces and cascading waterfalls.
