The answer is YES it is the best train journey in the world. 😊Loved seeing this again! Britannia and Flam is a wonderful combo too. Getting off for the waterfall photos on the way back down is less crowded.
Looking forward to our first visit to Flam on August. Do you know how far in advance you can book directly? Doesn't seem to move from April 1st on Norways best website. I'm wondering if they release in three month blocks 🤔
It was around 6 months before on our September cruise. We’ve just checked and it doesn’t look like the timetable goes further than March 2025 at the mo, so maybe not released yet, but doubt it will be long. When they do release, they book up extremely quick and will show sold out. The trick is then to keep checking as they release in batches - so originally we couldn’t book but we kept checking and times became available. They did sell out again within a day or two, but then more became available a few weeks later. It’s definitely best to do it DIY as it is half the price.
Do them both!!! Twizzy is a 2 hour booking so do that in the morning (don’t always need book or you are off early and they have availability) and then the train around 12:30/13:30 😀

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, on the way down we were straight off to get front row
The mist from the river must have made the watching and listening to the singer even more magical. Love seeing that Viking bar and the fire pit.
It really is something amazing 😻
Wow! Flam looks absolutely stunning! 😍 and that train journey looks great! Definitely giving us ideas for when we return to the Norwegian Fjords!
It really it! With the train, twizzy and pub there’s so much to do! You can also do loads of hikes, the sauna, RaiB rides and more!
Wow ,stunning scenery, great train ride, must do this ! Waterfalls great! Thanks both for sharing 😊
It really is a must do!
Great ❤Vlog the train is a definite delight
Thank you! Yes it was!

This looks amazing, if I ever get the opportunity to go back to Norway I would definitely want Flam on the Itinerary. ❤
Oh you have to try and get to Flåm, it’s stunning. Actually all fjord ports are so beautiful!
Love the Viking bar in Flam. Thanks a lot lads looking forward to, the next video.

Hi Guys would love to flam one day ! Have to look for itinerary with this one in mind , great vlog as always 😊
Thank you! Flåm is so good! You must try it!
Beautiful train ride. First thing booking when booking for a cruise to Flåm is booked again.
It really was a fab train ride! 🤩
Next time take the bikes down the mountain,it was breathtaking and we are early 60,s and it took less than 2 hours.
Us and bikes?! That sounds like a disaster waiting to happen 🤣 It does sound it would be a nice trip down.
@CruiseMonkeys you can do it
Look on TH-cam for the biking viking
If it’s down hill we’d probably be ok 🤣
Not sure about eating Rudolph.....scenery is stunning....happy holidays
Yes, probably not the best time to be eating him! Norway is beautiful! Thank you, the same to you too 🥰

@CruiseMonkeys there's four of us too (we are travelling with our 18 and 22 year old) so definitely need to do it the cheapest way 😂
Keep checking it then we’d say! Don’t give up and you’ll get tickets
We’re going next year - we can’t decide between the train and the twizy cars. Any suggestions?
Do them both!!! Twizzy is a 2 hour booking so do that in the morning (don’t always need book or you are off early and they have availability) and then the train around 12:30/13:30 😀
