Powered fully or partially by electricity with a universal design and unobstructed views - our catamarans have set a new standard for tourist ships. The catamarans are world leaders in the design of lightweight, high-speed passenger ships made from carbon fiber.
The three catamarans are designed and constructed in Norway by Brødrene Aa in Hyen, inspired by trails found in nature. The layout of the catamarans facilitates for all passenger groups and makes it easy moving about to get to get the best views on board.
Tall panoramic windows give a full view of the spectacular fjord and landscape. There is plenty of room between the spacious furniture, and the walkways are reminiscent of wide walking paths due to the materials and colors used. The walkways also provides access for passengers with wheelchairs, prams or reduced mobility together with everyone else. All doorways have ramps and railings.
You'll find a broad selection of delicious food and drinks from local suppliers for sale on board.
Our crew at The Fjords are highly qualified and skilled seafarers. They are our public face and looks after our guests. It is important to us that all our passengers feel safe and are well taken care of.

We want our guests to enjoy the beautiful landscape around the fjords with a clean conscience.
We work closely with local businesses and manufacturers. The surrounding community is an important part of our green journey.
We are proud to lead the way towards green tourism in the Norwegian fjords. As a tourism business, we have a clear environmentally friendly profile.

Smaller waves lead to minimal wear and tear of the shoreline and zero emission help us keep our fjords clean.
We care about the generations that will come after us.
