I am with a group of women who will be traveling in May on a Holland America cruise. One of the Norwegian stops is in Flam. We would like to see and ride on the Flam Railroad. This tour is sold out from the ship but, you are able to get tickets through the Flam Railroad company.
We have been attempting to purchase tickets through the Flam Railroad site with some difficulty. The earliest tickets are at 8:25. However, our ship is supposed to be in port starting at 8:00. We are worried that this is cutting it too close to get off of the ship and onto the train.
Could someone with experience answer the following questions: 1). How far is in from the port to the spot that you board the Flam Railroad? 2). If you have taken the Holland America cruise, do they let everyone off at 8:00 or just those with tickets on HAL shore excursions? ( I have seen this on other cruises) 3) Do you see any problem getting 8:25 tickets to begin the Flam Railroad tour?
Thank you,
