This afternoon join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience at a charming cheese factory nestled in the picturesque town of Øystese. We continue to Hardangerfjord – its title as the 'Queen of the Fjords' is well deserved and you'll have an opportunity to admire its deep blue waters as you travel along part of its shoreline to your hotel in Norheimsund where you will dine tonight. (B/D) Stay: Thon Sandven

Journey from Sognefjord, Norway's longest and deepest fjord, to Geiranger. See the impressive Bøyabreen glacier, part of Jostedalsbreen, continental Europe's largest glacier.
