3 DAYS Thru NORWAY by Boat, Bus, & Train! ⛴ 🚎 🚆
Watch this video to experience a Norway Travel Adventure entirely on Public Transportation!
Over the course of three days, we’ll make our way across Norway’s rugged West. We’ll travel through fjords, down treacherous mountain roads, and over beautiful glacier-fed rivers. And we’ll do it all on public transportation.
We’ll start in Ålesund where we’ll step onboard the Geirangerfjord II Ferry to travel through three of Norway’s fjords in three hours.
Day two, we’ll hop onboard a public bus in Norway with a twist. We’ll travel from Geiranger to Åndalsnes passing along some of the most incredible scenery of the trip. We’ll even traverse the world famous Trollstigen Road!!
Day three finds us onboard a couple of trains in Norway! We’ll travel first from Åndalsnes to Lillehammer and then transfer to another train to Oslo!
In this video, you’ll see everything you can experience on this Norwegian Travel adventure! And, if you want to book these experiences, here’s how:

Heija Norge!!! 🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴 I married a Norwegian and she was laughing at you trying to pronounce Geirangerfjord! But if it makes you feel better, she laughs at me anytime I try to pronounce anything. 😆😆 Such beauty and you captured it well!
Would I take a trip like this only using public transit? You bet! I love letting someone else drive/pilot, etc while I enjoy the views!! Looks like you both had a great time! Definite add to my long bucket list!!

Yeah there are positives but those stoppage time limit during bus trips are unfair. With so much beauty to take in you need plenty more time & thats we drove toyota yarris hybrid. Its took on the terrain quite well and cause of tiny size curvy roads wont any problems

@@johnsingh5943 For sure, being in full control of your trip is great. Some roads are better for doing the driving yourself (Highway 1 in California). This trip in Norway....maybe like you said, it's easier in a small car. Guess I'll have to try both. Haha.
As a retired air line employee. I enjoy all your travel vlogs. But now that you have included rail, bus, and boat. I'm enjoying them all. There lots of places I haven't been to. Norway is one. Thank you Jeb, I really enjoyed this.
What an amazing travel vlog. The videography is top-notch. I rarely watch travel vlogs but your videos are so much fun plus you have such an amiable personality. The roughly 18 minutes video just felt like a 5-min one. Keep up the amazing work!

As a Norwegian, i gotta love your pronunciation of Norwegian places! Good video too!
Great video, as always 😀. If you want a little bit better train experience, chanche train in Dombaas to the Trondheim-Oslo train. This is a long distance train, and a little bit better than the intercity-train from Lillehammer 😉. Thank you for visiting my homecountry Norway and being so enthusiastic 😁
And just like that, Norway moves up my must visit list!

Nice summary of a part of the country that I have yet to visit. My father loves driving Trollstigen on his motorcycle! 😎 About bus on ferry: I used to drive a bus service from Bodø to Sortland. The trip lasts for almost 7 hours and includes a 1 hour ferry ride from Bognes to Lødingen. And another fun fact: the only way to get further north in Norway from Bognes is by ferry, unless you drive through Sweden. Feel free to visit us in North next time you come to Norway! I promise you there’s more to see!
We just drove are A class motorhome on that road yesterday Åndalsnes to Geiranger it's absolutely stunning!

Even as a Norwegian I am astounded by the views on this trip.
Fantastic scenery…… if you are looking for train/bus/boat (and the odd dodgy, precarious road) alternatives look no further then Queenstown NZ. Boat includes Milford Sound, sail Lake Wakatipu or jetboat/raft down Shotover River, bus up to Cornet Peak, to Milford Sound and for precarious roads try Skippers Canyon, train includes Taeiri Gorge railway or Tranz Alpine/Glacier Express. Other forms of transport incl Skyline(southern hemisphere’s steepest cable car) and the flight in/out are spectacular. Only problem ? For me in Manchester, UK you could barely be further away ! 😩
Well these “serpentine route” remember me at Chile border (Paso Libertadores, Cristo Redentor Tunnel), at Chile border side you have a serpentine route from 3.600 to 2.200 meters over the sea. Also, at northen Argentina, at Salta province, you have the “Cuesta del Obispo”
I love it that you guys enjoy public transportation so much. In a rent a car world, this is refreshing. I also recommend trying the train from Rome/Naples to either Catania or Palermo. They place the whole train onto the ferry
Public transport is sometimes the simplest way to go. Trains or buses are sometimes the only way to get to places that are well worth a visit when you you don't have the $$$ to hire a private car or rental or just want to enjoy the simple pleasure of the journey. We've done this to visit Hallstatt, Austria, to take one of the scenic trains in Switzerland on our way to the Lauterbrunnen Valley, to visit Neuschwanstein (and other castles) in Bavaria, etc. My wife and I are more than happy to use public transport when it makes perfect sense to do so. This trip and the modes you took will be added to our list. Happy to recommend some places for you and Suzanne to visit - things that have brought my wife and I immense joy. Kudos once again for a brilliant narrated trip report..
Breathtakingly beautiful! Norge looks amazing! Thanks for uploading! Safe travels!
I truly love Norway and it's fresh air!
Excellent sights ALL ALONG the way on this journey! Thank you!!
Just beautiful, thank you for sharing Jeb and Suzanne. Safe travels...
The road downwards has reminded me of the Tremola in Switzerland. Thank you very much, Suzanne and Jeb, for sharing your wonderful documentary with us.
Wow. Looked like a fun trip. The views were absolutely stunning. Thanks for taking us along.
Good to see yet another video from you. Enjoy Norway!
Awesome video Jeb!! Adding this to my bucket list. Love seeing you and Suzanne traveling together ❤️
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful way to see some of the beautiful scenery in Norway.
Awesome Footage.. Jeb and Suzanne.....Thanks for showing us the beautiful sights of Norway....Loved it...
Jeb you do it all! Blue skies and tailwinds!
Robot lawn mowers are very common in Norway. Labor is costly, so many parks and public areas use them instead of hiring someone to do it. Also of course many use them in their private gardens.
The scenery is absolutely stunning. What an adventure. Keep it up.
That's one place I've always wanted to visit. Magnificent scenery. Thanks for the video.
I just adore the two of you. Yours are easily my favorite travel videos....very personable and nice to listen to. You both obviously enjoy the experiences of travel.
5:44 Google maps estimated walking time does not include sitting on a bench! That Trollstigen Road has been used in several car commercials. Solid, flowing, enjoyable video as usual, JB. Peace.
I think Norway has just been added to my bucket list of destinations
That was one of the most inspirational travel videos I have seen. My wife and I added this location to our bucket list immediately.
Great video Jeb and Susan. I must have enjoyed the trip. Would love to see more footage of the towns you stayed overnight as well as the local cuisine.
Everything in Norway looks so clean!
Just Beautiful!! I agree with some others. I am enjoying you using Bus and Trains every so often. Thank You!!!
As someone who made this exact trip about a month ago, it is a landscape that videos and pictures can’t do justice
Awesome.Thanks for sharing the video and taking an effort for us. defnitely worth travelling the route you showed us. keep recording and keep sending. I saved it to my bucketlist
Thank you for filming the video that has Endless surprises and so many breathtaking sceneries. Norway definitely had came to my travel bucket list after I watched the video.
Norway is my Happy Place & I’m so glad to watch your visit! I took an RIB tour of Geirangerfjord in 2019 & it was wonderful-as was the “hairpin turn” ride. Thanks for taking me back!
Really great trip showcasing all the modes of transportation needed to get across Norway!! The scenery was awesome! It's been great seeing Suzanne on some of your trips....... she is a definite plus and you two compliment each other nicely! Love your videos........ keep them coming!😉😉
It's just amazing that places like Norway exist. Always appreciate your Joie de Vivre, Jeb.
Wonderful video Jeb! I’m gonna have to add something like this to my travel bucket list. I thought the views on video were stunning so I can only imagine just how breathtaking they were in person. I love your videos, thanks for posting and keep up the awesome work.
Norway is on my bucket list. So beautiful! I have relatives there.
NOSTALGIC - 4 years back did the same boat-geiranger hotel stay-bus-trollstigen-andalsnes-Oslo ! thank you guys !!
What a GREAT video! Norway is so beautiful. What stunning views. Thank You Mr Brooks for providing us with a GREAT video!
What a beautiful journey. It's in my bucket list now
Excellent narrating and seeing Norway!
Thanks to you two my bucket list just got longer. As a retired employee of your favorite airline, I’m always ready to go somewhere new! Love watching your videos, so keep up the good work!
Me and my wife both enjoyed watching your video it was well.shot. We have been to Norway many times, so it was nice to be reminded of what Norway.
Ahhhhhhh! This is amazing!!!! Thank you for all the links to everything! I am pleased to see you traveling with your lady. What a great addition to your videos. You look happier! I would like to do both: driving the troll road and paying for public transit. What views!!! Nice Rick Steves' shirt!
Another amazing journey. Norway is breathtaking.
Video is well done and provides good inspiration (and very useful information) for my own holdiday plans! A big "Thank you" from Holland!
Norway is maybe the most underrated beautiful country in the world imo
I love Norway! Beautiful country and people
Hi Susan! You guys have always picked great sights. Thank you so much for sharing. Amen
That was good good to see ,I couldn't go on that road full stop. Thanks for taking us with you. From me in Scotland 🤗🤗
It's great to see that people are travelling again
I drove the Eagle Road and Trolligsten a few years ago. Your video brought back memories of that enjoyable trip when I had to concentrate on the road rather than the views. I do agree that the fjord are better appreciated from above rather than sea level.
Jeb, one of your best videos so far! 😃I love these kinds of videos! The scenery is breathtaking! If I must pick between your airline videos and these, these will win hands down!
Beautiful video. I now need to add a visit to Norway to my bucket list!
Incredibly beautiful scenery! Great content! Cheers 🥂
Absolutely gorgeous country
I enjoyed your video. We've driven the Oslo-Alesund route many times (and taken the train) when we lived in Oslo. Norway truly is a spectacularly beautiful country. We will be in Alesund soon, first time since the pandemic, and we're looking forward to it. Thanks for this video and I've enjoyed many of your travel blogs.
that was incredible and beautiful, the view you both had was so beautiful you have to watch this video over an over to catch more to see more you might of miss. yes I would ride that bus to the end of route
I would totally drive on the Trollstigen road. Its one of the great driving roads on earth.
Nice product placement by Suzanne for Rick Steves - I have the same shirt (actually 2). Great video and narration - very informative. You can also see why Rick Steve's always promotes packing light, "because you will end up walking at some point" when you tour Europe. He also states that the wheely bags are great until you have to walk up stairs or in your case, a steep hill - you both did great. Thanks again.
Well, You guys have put Norway on my must visit list! I think I've seen every video you have made; they are entertaining and informative. I would have liked to have seen what you guys ate in Norway; maybe another video! Thank you again!
Phenomenal video, Jeb! I couldn't tear my eyes away for even a second until it was finished.
Mahn! Beautiful landscapes captured so nicely. Enjoyed the video!
wow simply gorgous. i love the bus ride the best that was cool going down the road lke that peace out ty for sharing your journey with us
What a beautiful rainbow. Amen
Dear Suzanne, dear Jeb, once more a hit ! I really love your style of "youtubing", with a bit American touch, always a joy to watch. This one is very particular to me as we are currently heading to Norway on an Interrail trip. Very inspiring. Thanks for sharing!

Bus on a ferry -- I've done that -- between Sweden and Denmark. A lot to be said for Scandinavian efficiency and EXCELLENT coffee! And, what beautiful scenery! I enjoy your videos; keep up the great work!

Thanks for sharing Norway travel experience and useful detailed information, excellent photography congratulations 🙏

Absolutely beautiful travels ...
Jeb and Suzzane . As always, a video par excellence. It almost made the viewer think we are with you on this journey. Truly the mark of an amazing story teller.
We've been to Norway and agree that the scenery is outstanding - and I'm from New Zealand! Like other commenters we/re using public transport more often, letting others drive whilst we enjoy the scenery. The video and commentary is fabulous, keep it up Jeb! Lookin forward to seeing you in the sky. And land and water, over waterfalls and everywhere else on this wonderful planet of ours!
❤❤❤ OMG!! This was fantastic! Those views❣️ The fjords are on my bucket list!
You are truly a blessed man! I would love to take that trip one day, I pray my wife and I have both the time and resources to make that happen! "Se you....on the bus, boat, rails and skies!"
I love Norway 🇳🇴 ❤
What a wonderfull place in this earth.That's my dream. Thanks for share and filming this place. Really nice trip experience with kinds of transportations mode.
One of best video of your collection. Very nice.
I visited all these locations this summer. We did a 2.5 week trip in Norway with the family in a rental car. No problems with Trollstigen or any of the other mountain roads. But I would be interested in doing it by boat/bus and train as well. Brings back memories of my train trips from 25 years ago.
I Really wish this wasn’t Quite as condensed as it is! This was delightful, but seemed a bit abrupt…(you left us wanting more, Jeb and Suzanne!)
Great report, brings back some great memories from half a lifetime ago. Alesund, Geiranger, an overnight in Stranda, Andalsnes, Eidsdal, Lillehammer (for about eight nights)...pretty sure I got to them all. Not to mention a bus up (or was it down?) Trollstigen. Breathtaking stuff and I hope to get back one day. Oh, and I definitely did not drive.
Jeb, you’ve done it again! Another vlog of an amazing trip that my wife and I will take! I was not familiar with those beautiful locations, but I am now. Time to start reservations!
Thank you for sharing beautiful video.❤ It’s very helpful for my future plan.❤❤
Norway 🇸🇯 is a wonderful country with beautiful nature....I love Norway 🇸🇯🥰❤️
It’s fun to hear how the people in the back experience the drive up Ørnesvingene and Trollstigen. I’ve only been up front driving the thing. As a bus driver, that has been driving there a few times, I’m usually more exhausted driving from Gerinanger in the other direction (if you would continue onwards past the hotel) just because of the sheer amount of turns and traffic there. If you look at 05:02, in the video, one of the trips we do we usually start at the bottom and all the 1500m (roughly 4900ft) up towards the peak, and then back down again. It’s always a treat visiting Geiranger, especially if the weather holds up. But this summer have been especially cold and wet so you got lucky with the weather there all things considered.
Wow! Just wow! I'm so inlove in this country🥰😍❤❤❤
In the 70Th I took a trip by train from Oslo to Alesund over Dombas, changes there for a train down to Alesund then change to bus for Andalsnes, back to Dombas, change train for Trondheim. Wonderful trip.
