Exploring a fjord sounds adventurous. The very idea of a deep waterway sandwiched by crazily steep cliffs makes you dizzy. There’s also the chance of crossing paths with a Viking.

But visiting a Norwegian fjord – spoiler alert – is easier than you think. Land in Norway’s second city Bergen, gateway to the fjords. Find your way to the waterfront at the heart of this storybook city, board a catamaran near the famous Bergen Fish Market and in a couple hours you are on a sundeck sipping Aquavit shooting the breeze.
