Norway

It depends on the class of hotel that you're staying at but for two people, that doesn't sound outrageously unreasonable. On the other hand, I think I could probably put this together for about $1,500 total. Check out nsb.no, fjord1.no, and then the hotels. Expect to spend about $250 a night since it's during peak, unless you want to be adventurous and stay at a hostel. The YMCA Hostel in Bergen is actually pretty nice and well located. Twin rooms go from $157, if you can get them. Otherwise, $200-300 is the range.

Not sure what you mean you can put it together for $1,500. I assume you are not a travel agent. The site you gave me seems to be difficult to reach, but looks like comments about a ferry co. I'm sure I can get the hotels myself and arrange the trains through the hotel or when I get there. However, since it is usually sold as a pacage, I thought I would see if anyone had done it independently, or through a more reasonable agency. Even assuming hotels at $1,000, how mmuch can the trains and ferries cost? $1,000 seems very high.

First, yes, I am not a bonafide travel agent. Second, when I say that I can "put it together", what I'm saying is that I've done this independently four times. :) I usually act as the travel agent for friends and family, and have put this "package" together without a travel agent four times, most recently last year. In fact, looking back, I can tell you exactly how much it was last year (without the overnight in Balestrand). $1,322 for 4 nights in Oslo, 2 nights in Bergen, train, and boat. Boat was $119. Trains were $95 to Flåm. $72 from Bergen to Oslo. Like I said, I think I could put your shorter version together for about $1,500, give or take. And the "package" that they sell is 100% the same as what you get when you buy everything independently. It's just a ticket on NSB.no, a ticket from fjord1.no, your hotels, and that's it.
