It is the gateway to sprawling green valleys dwarfed by towering peaks, and glacial lakes and waterfalls that were sculpted during the Ice Age. One of the most scenic train journeys in the world winds through these stunning landscapes. The 20-kilometre route climbs more than 900 metres, passing through 20 tunnels and over numerous bridges from the fjord village of Flåm to the high mountains of Myrdal. The train's panoramic windows offer vistas of cascading waterfalls, steep valleys and snow-capped peaks. A stop at the Kjosfossen waterfall allows you to feel the mist and hear the powerful roar of the falls. SHOP AND DINE WITH A CHEF IN BERGEN In Bergen, the heart of Norway's culinary heritage beats strong. Embark on a culinary journey like no other as you shop and dine with your ship's executive chef. Spend the morning visiting the bustling fish market and various other local culinary specialists to hand-pick ingredients that will later become the heart of regional dishes for an evening feast. As the sun sets, join your culinary maestro at the special Kitchen Table restaurant on board. You will delve into the secrets of culinary artistry, from cooking techniques to preparation and the fine art of meal presentation. Enjoy a meticulously crafted three to five-course meal, perfectly paired with exquisite wines. This is a unique opportunity to shop, cook and eat with culinary masters. FLÅM, NORWAY
