Fjord service boat

We are proud to carry on the long tradition of running a local service boat between our fjordside villages and Ålesund. Yet, your journey is very different to that made by passengers a century ago. Back then, even if you travelled first class you might very well spot a familiar face on second class, who you knew to be a fantastic storyteller, and who would keep you entertained throughout the long journey. Mind you, the stories weren’t always to be trusted. If you were returning home from town, you would perhaps be in the company of some nervous young girls heading for a mountain farm to work in service for the summer. And if you were travelling to town, you might get chatting to a farmer bound for market with his goats’ cheese. Or, there might be a young woman aboard, heading for hospital to give birth. Perhaps she would have to deliver just here, in the lounge. In that case, perhaps you would rather prefer to look in on the horses in the on-board stable? However – the mountain views are the same as back then, the waterfalls are as they were, and the air is still just as bracing.
