Norway / train?
I can tell you a thing.
We were on a cruise which stopped at Flam for the day. One of the cruise line's excursions for the day was "A trip on the World Famous Flam Railway up over the mountains and back" price £75 per person. At the destination, stop for a cup of tea and a sandwich included in the price.
I just wondered.
I went and googled Flam Railway.
The current price is £37 ish, but it was half that when we went. £15 each instead of £75 each. I wonder what the cruise lines are charging now? I then wondered how long the coach journey was from where the ship docks to the Flam railway station. There wasn't a coach journey. The railway station is about 100 metres from the ship as you can see if you rotate this street view:

There is only one train a day. Plebs like us who paid £15 were on the same train as the gullible cruise passengers who paid £75. There isn't a first class coach for the cruise line passengers, with dancing girls and champagne, it's the same train going to the same place, stopping for the same time and then returning. What they got for their £60 extra was a cup of tea and a sandwich. Or perhaps maybe two sandwiches and a cake. There is a never ending supply of tea and cake on the cruise ship, so that bonus is worthless.
This weekend we are off to a short cruise to Ireland where you can either take a cruise line excursion from Cobh to the Blarney Castle, prices start at £200 ish for the excursion or pay I think €9 for a return bus fare plus the cost of the castle entry. Guess what we will be doing? Specially as it is a one hour bus ride each way and the cruise excursion lasts 4 hours. So the cruise line excursion will be 2 hrs on the coach leaving 2 hrs for the castle and Blarney town. We will have 2hrs on a bus and up to 5 hrs in the castle and town.
