Thanks everyone for your suggestions. At this point we are considering 2 options:
First choice is Cruise and Maritime's Columbus ship which is a round trip from Amsterdam and cruises Sognefjord, Nordfjord, and Geirangerfjord with stops at Flam, Olden, and Bergen. It holds 1400 passengers which is a little more than we hoped for but it would work perfectly since we are thinking of also spending a week beforehand in Amsterdam and environs. Prices also look great. The downside is that it leaves 8/27 and returns 9/4 and my wife needs to be back at her teaching job by 9/2. I also wonder if we would overdose on 3 fjord tours.
The second choice is Fjordtours "Sognefjord in a Nutshell" which is 4 days anytime with the possibility of add-ons. These seems to include some bus and train travel. But I have been unable to get information such as capacity of the ship or ferry, whether these are day trips with nights spent on land in a hotel. Is anybody familiar with Sognefjord in a Nutshell?
We have ruled out Hurtigruten because it seems to be a coastal itinerary rather than a fjords itinerary.

Thank you both for your responses. Your suggestions--Hurtigruten, Fred Olsen, and Cruise and Maritime are possibilities worth looking into. If anyone else has any ideas, please offer them.

First time using this forum. My wife and I are looking for a small cruise ship (less than 1000 passengers) to cruise the Norwegian fjords. 7--9 days. To depart anytime June--August 2019. Not interested in luxury or entertainment. More interested in seeing smaller ports like Geiranger, Flam, Olden, or Sogneford than larger ones like Oslo. Given the shortness of time, we would prefer the entire cruise to take place in Norway. Thank you.

Decided to follow ColdCruise's advice and take the Cruise and maritime cruise leaving from Amsterdam and disembark in Bergen. We still get a day in Bergen before flying back to Boston and we get to go to the places we most want to see. Thank you everybody.
