Majestic mountain peaks that reach through clouds toward expansive blue skies. Fjords that cut through verdant valleys. What better way to enjoy this breathtaking, rugged landscape for which Norway is famous than by train?

That is precisely what you will do during this three-hour guided railway exploration. Take a short walk from your ship to the train station. Your port city of Åndalsnes is the terminus for the Rauma railway line that connects the Romsdal-district with eastern Norway. This is the ideal starting off point for your adventure!

All aboard! Step inside your streamlined, modern train and settle into one of the many comfortable seats. Large windows offer panoramic views.

Your journey takes you along the River Rauma, a favorite amongst English anglers for more than a century. In fact, if you keep an eye out, you may spot a fisherman perched atop a rock mid-river angling for a salmon in the rushing blue-green glacier water. The biggest salmon caught here was 58.42 pounds!

As mesmerizing as the sparkling waters may be, don't forgot to look up. You'll be rewarded for your efforts when you take in the majesty of the nearly 5,000-foot Mount Romsdalshorn and the magnificent Troll Peaks that reach nearly 6,000 feet.

Time to look down again--180 feet down, to be precise, as you travel across the arched Kylling Bridge. This impressive feat of engineering, made solely from natural stone blocks, spans a canyon that hosts the roiling river at its bottom.

Your last stop is Bjorli. At least, this is where you will disembark. This charming village that lays 1800 feet above sea level is a popular ski destination as it enjoys early-season snow fall. In fact, winter scenes for the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince were filmed here.

Your journey continues on a motorcoach that takes you through one of Norway's most spectacular valleys. Words fail to describe the stunning beauty of the peaks that rise thousands of feet straight up from the valley floor to the sky.

And you'll certainly want to have your camera at the ready for a photo stop at the famous Troll Wall. Measuring over 3,500 feet, this massive vertical rock face - the tallest in Europe - is a popular destination for climbers and base jumpers looking for a challenge.

Feel the power of nature when you come face-to-face with the awe-inspiring Slettfossen waterfall. One of the most famous waterfalls in Norway, you'll marvel as water plummets 600 feet down the mountainside over jagged rocks on this wild and beautiful stretch of the Rauma River.

Contemplate the raw beauty of all you have seen during your scenic drive back to the ship in the glistening waters of the harbor.
