Port essentials

Flåm Port lists a cruise quay in the village. The railway, waterfront and separate fjord excursions give you very different ways to spend time ashore. [1][2][3]

Best first move

Confirm your shore access. If riding the railway, work backward from the return to your ship before choosing a departure.

On foot

Can I walk?

Yes around the central village once ashore if the route suits you. Trips by railway or fjord boat require separate schedules. Varies by sailing [1][2][3]

Ashore

Transport options

Walk around central Flåm: Orient yourself at the waterfront and save the ship’s passenger access point. Check before you go [1][2][3]
Flåm Railway: Check the schedule and ticket availability in both directions before committing to the trip. A railway departure time is separate from your ship’s deadline. Check before you go [1][2][3]
Fjord boat: Check where the operator departs and where the route finishes. Confirm the return leg to Flåm before leaving. Check before you go [1][2][3]

Arrival

Terminals and docking

Cruise quay: The port identifies its office on the Flåm cruise quay. Follow your ship’s passenger access instructions for the day. Varies by sailing [1][2][3]
Separate passenger services: The railway and fjord boats have their own boarding points. Note which one you use and where you need to be for the ship. Varies by sailing [1][2][3]

Time ashore

Enjoy your time ashore

Choose one anchor for your visit, then add a second stop if your return plan allows.

Flåm Railway Museum

The museum tells the story of the railway and its construction. [4][5]

On a port day A village option if a train trip would take too much of your available time.
Flåm Railway

The train climbs from Flåm through the valley towards Myrdal. [4][5]

On a port day Make it the anchor of your day only after checking the round trip and return margin.

Back on board

Getting back to the ship

After a rail or boat trip, keep enough time for the final walk to your ship access point and any boarding checks. Work back from your ship’s all-aboard time. Departure is the scheduled time the ship leaves.

All aboard is your deadline to return. Departure is when the ship is scheduled to leave.
