The fjord region is located in western Norway and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005. It is characterised by the arms of the fjords, winding through the land of Norway, often for more than 200km. Beautiful panoramic views are guaranteed throughout your trip, and ferry crossings of the fjords allow you to enjoy the superb scenery. The following itinerary takes you through Norway's main fjords: Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord, Geirangerfjord and Romsdalfjord.
