Pre voyage excursion (BGON1) Bergen and Mount Ulriken, with a professional local guide throughout the tour, including:
Exploring Bergen City: Experience Bergen, known as “The Gateway to the Fjords” and “City of Seven Mountains”, with a guided introduction to its long maritime history and vibrant present.
Famous UNESCO Bryggen: Stroll between crooked wooden warehouses and narrow passageways at Bryggen, the UNESCO World Heritage site that tells the story of traders, ships, fish, and people – and how Bergen became the city it is today.
Tour From Sea to Summit: Travel by bus past landmarks such as Grieghallen and Festplassen, continue past St. Mary’s Church and the fish market, and then head towards Mount Ulriken – Bergen’s highest mountain.
Panoramic Views of Mount Ulriken: Ride the Ulriken Cable Car to 643 metres above sea level and enjoy sweeping views over Bergen’s city centre, fjords, lakes, and mountains – an inspiring way to begin your coastal voyage.
Skyskraperen Restaurant: On the summit, savour a hot bowl of local fish soup followed by a classic Bergen Skillingsbolle and freshly brewed coffee or tea, with vegetarian and vegan alternatives available on request.
Arrive in Bergen the day before your voyage and check in at your central hotel. The evening is yours to explore the city at your own pace before a good night’s sleep ahead of embarkation.
On departure day, you meet your guide at Jektevikterminalen at 10:30 and hand over your luggage. At 11:00, the tour departs by bus through Bergen’s city centre, passing Grieghallen, Festplassen, and other key sights on the way to Bryggen.
Booking deadline: Must be booked at least 30 days before your voyage starts in Bergen and is subject to availability of capacity limitations.
Clothing: Dress in layers and bring a wind- and waterproof outer layer, as Mount Ulriken can be windy. Closed walking shoes are recommended.
Luggage: You can hand in your luggage at the terminal before the excursion. It will be tagged with your cabin number and transported on board, so you can enjoy the tour without bags.
Meals: Breakfast at the hotel and a meal at the summit are included. Other meals are at your own expense.
Accessibility: Cobblestones and slopes, and boarding the cable car, may pose challenges for guests with reduced mobility.
