Explore some of Bergen’s oldest and most significant historical sites on a scenic audio-guided sightseeing cruise. The journey takes you past the medieval fortress that once served as the seat of Norwegian power in the 13th century and the colorful Bryggen wharf, a symbol of the city’s thriving trading history. Sail by the old wooden warehouses in Skuteviken and Sandviken, and admire the luxurious residences perched on skerries at Måseskjæret or built into the mountainside at Verftet. Along the way, discover hidden historical gems such as the WW2 concrete ruins of the U-Boot Bunker Bruno and the lively Nordnes Sjøbad, where locals enjoy bathing in the fjord, before returning to the heart of Bergen at Vågen and the Fish Market.
This immersive cruise allows guests to experience Bergen’s rich heritage from the water, providing a unique perspective of the city’s architecture, history, and vibrant waterfront. The audio-guided tour is available during the summer months, and the departure point at Dreggekaien pier is conveniently located within walking distance of most hotels and cruise ports in Bergen, making it easy for visitors to join and enjoy the highlights of the city in comfort and style.

Daniel
Went on the 60 mins Bergen city cruise and it was excellent. Lots of space above and below deck to sit or stand depending on preference. It was a sunny day for us so very few were inside and the top deck was full. But you could always see everything and th ship was well captained so there were lots of photo opportunities. The ship has a bit of speed to it at times which was fun and different from the typical city cruise I have been on... Not that it was too fast but just meant it for to the places in good time. Would recommend

Our fjord cruise experience was decent, especially since it was our first time on a cruise. We appreciated the informative commentary about the special locations and buildings we passed, and we were impressed by the speed of the cruise and the stunning views. However, I do feel it was a bit pricey, especially since the cruise follows the same route there and back, making the return trip less exciting. One thing to note is that your experience can vary depending on where you sit or stand. If you’re on the side with fewer sights, you might feel a bit left out. For example, when a waterfall appeared on the right side, many people moved to that side of the deck. While you do get to see the same sights on the way back, it does make the initial trip less engaging if you’re not on the right side. I recommend arriving at least an hour early. We arrived half an hour before departure, but all the window seats were already taken. Also, avoid sitting in areas with extra legroom, as people tend to walk around frequently, and it can be annoying to keep moving your legs to let them pass. There are drinks and food available on board, but they’re quite pricey, so I suggest bringing your own snacks. Restrooms are available, which is convenient, and all the commentary was provided in English.

We went on a rain day and we still enjoyed the cruise. it is a relaxing 3.5hrs cruise. We saw lots and lots of waterfalls along the fjord, idyllic villages, green spaces like switzerland, narrow fjord channels, etc. The cruise took off on-time, so needed to come 20 minutes earlier to board the boat. There were plenty of seat in the ferry. Top deck outdoor space is mostly for standing only. The ferry is clean and provided bathrooms also. I think that they sell food also, but we did not buy anything.

Wonderful cruise tour with a deck on top, the pilot gives few information now and then and it's spacious. The cruise takes place all year long, rain and shine so you know it won'tbe canceled in bad weather. There are warm and cold drinks with some snacks on board. Cute trip that I loved so much. Worth the visit when in Bergen
