Overview

A private cruise from the city to a remote fjord outside Bergen.

We leave Bergen, with the backdrop of the seven mountains surrounding the city, including Mount Fløyen and Mount Ulriken. The scenery changes from the second largest city in Norway, to when we move into the fjords, and depending on temperature, hopefully reach the ice.

Enjoy the day on the fjords, and hopefully it will be cold enough for some ice bathing. If no ice, it will any way be cold enough for a really refreshing dip in the fjord, maybe under a cascading waterfall.
When you come back in the boat, we have towels, a warm shower, a warm cup of coffee/ tea, or a glas of champagne ready for you.

Price including snacks and refreshments onboard, and towels for the bath. Lunch can be arranged onboard, extra.

Ice bathing cruise only operate through the winter, October - March. We can not guarantee ice (depending on temperature), but at least a cold and refreshing bath during this season.

    Byfjorden

    We then slowly cruise out the fjords from Bergen. The scenery changes gradually from when we leave the second largest city in Norway, passing the suburbs, to when we arrive at the island with the fish farm. The atmosphere shifts from busy city life, to a quiet and pristine landscape and surroundings. Enjoy the trip from the Flybridge, with a panoramic view, or from the salon or aft deck.

    When we get deeper into the fjords, the water contains less salt, and will freeze more easy. Hopefully it will be cold enough for some ice, where we stop at the edge of the ice, to go for a dip amongst the ice floating in the fjord.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (7)

    Q: Will I get seasick on Private Ice-bathing yacht cruise to the Fjords?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
