Step aboard vintage ship MS Bruvik to cruise majestic Hjørundfjord. Dating back to 1949, this beloved motorship still features classic décor for a nostalgic onboard ambience. Comfortable lounges that serve refreshments and an outdoor deck have been modernised, perfect for taking in the dramatic scenery.
The scenic sailing passes through Hjørundfjord to the village of Sæbø. Local, knowledgeable guides will enhance your experience with fascinating insight into the history of the fjord and its communities.
From Sæbø, we will make our way to Rekkedal Guesthouse. Here, you will be greeted by the 20th generation to run this 16th century family farm.
Explore the farmyard and its 500-year-old history before indulging in a memorable four-course meal by the traditional fireplace in a warm and cosy barn from 1880. The story behind each dish is explained to you as you dine, and many of the ingredients are from the farm or local food suppliers. Bellies full, we’ll return to Ålesund aboard MS Bruvik, admiring our stunning surroundings along the way.
