Additional Information

Embark on a 60-minute guided sightseeing tour aboard a cruise that takes you through the harbors of Bergen and the City Fjord, exposing you to Bergen’s nautical charm. Witness some of the city’s oldest and most historically significant locations, like the medieval fortress, once the epicenter of Norwegian authority in the 13th century, and the vibrant Bryggen wharf, the prosperous trade hub of the city.

Experience a taste of historic Bergen as you navigate past the ancient, wooden warehouses in Skuteviken and Sandviken. Gaze in awe at the luxurious homes perched atop Måseskjæret’s skerries or emerging from Verftet’s mountain slopes.

An added benefit of the cruise route is a close-up view of the sequestered WW2 concrete remains of the U-Boot Bunker Bruno, before catching sight of locals enjoying a swim at the historic Nordnes Sjøbad. After this, the cruise circles back to the bustling Fish Market at the heart of Bergen.

Blue sky crisp clear water. - The crisp clean air and water of the fjord, the crew and the historical information provided were excellent. The contrasting buildings from traditional to ultra modern but they all work together well to give Bergen a beautiful skyline from the water. The boat was very clean and well maintained, blankets were provided when up on deck, refreshments, drinks and snacks could be purchased especially if you are taking the 3 hour tour.

Perfect for a quick overview of Bergen city and harbour - No signage at the meeting point until boat arrives but very accurate on location map. Very friendly and informative. Good to have drinks and toilets on board.

Nice tour! - Had a very nice harbor tour. Although it was chilly outside, we were nice and toasty inside and with lap blankets readily available. Lovely town!

Short cruise - Comfortable tour on the waterways to see Bergen from a different view. Not a lot of information given but enough to point out the sites.

Disappointed. Save your money. - Very disappointed. No special narration of historical sites as we sailed past them. Long gaps of silence even though we passed important sites, which we actually wanted to hear about. Save your money. Completely overpriced for an experience that is no different from the views you would get from walking around town.
