Flam > Bergen Ferry in Late Oct Too Dark?

I wanted to take the ferry from Flam to Bergen (Norled is the only company I know of that does this), but I see that sunset is at about 5PM and the 5 hour ferry only departs at 3:30PM. Would this journey be too dark to be worth it?

My original plan was to take the Nærøyfjorden ferry from Flam to Gudvangen, bus back to Flam, then ferry to Bergen. However, if the ferry to Bergen would be worthless that late, then maybe I should do something else like bus/train from Gudvangen to Voss to Bergen.

Thoughts? Other alternatives?

It's not worth it. Even is sunset is around 17.00, there will be plenty of shadows after 16.00 already, and you will not enjoy much your trip, especially considering how likely it is to also have overcast/cloudy skies.

Take the train back to Bergen.
