Known locally as “the cider boat”, the journey takes you to the area’s famous orchards, where you can combine cider sampling with an exploration of Hardangerfjord’s natural and cultural heritage – an experience you will find nowhere but here in Hardangerfjord. Cider sampling is Norway’s answer to wine tasting and has quickly become extremely popular. Local apple growers nurture their crops with care and patience, and open their doors to visitors who want to sample their farm-produced wares. The landscape along the fjord is breathtaking. This year the Aurora of The Fjords is the vessel that will sail back and forth along Hardangerfjord from 15 May until 3 September. You are at liberty to take this cruise as a one-way or round trip.
