Aboard Viking Neptune with Viking Ocean Cruises
Cruise Overview
Surrounded by mountains and sparkling fjords, the waterside city of Bergen has a spectacular setting.
There has been a settlement here since medieval times and the colourful waterfront buildings of the Hanseatic wharf, known as Bryggen, are testament to its fascinating history of trade.
As Norway’s best known medieval settlement, the Bryggen is listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
Our comprehensive selection of excursions allows you to discover the many sides of Bergen, such as the fish market and narrow cobbled streets, as well as stunning views of the city from the summit of Mt Fløyen.
Alternatively, those who have visited the city previously may like to experience one of the tours that travel further afield.
Just 300 yards from the main piers, you will find the Fortress Museum (Fesningsmuseum), which has an interesting collection of objects related to World War II.
Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Stavanger flourished in the 19th century as a fishing port.
While other towns in Norway have suffered with the decline of this industry, Stavanger has kept its economy booming by diversifying, first into shipbuilding and now into oil.
These two contrasting industries have created a city of two halves – a modern area of high-rise buildings and a historic centre with cobbled streets and old wooden houses.
The city centre was the birthplace of Alexander Kielland, one of the great 19th-century Norwegian novelists.
Stavanger Cathedral, dating from 1125, is an impressive building and the only medieval cathedral in Norway that has not been substantially altered since it was first built.
From Stavanger you can explore the attractive blue waters of Lysefjord, surrounded by cliffs and striking rock formations, and also visit Hafrsfjord where the Viking King Harald won an important battle that started the Unification of Norway.
Those preferring to explore on their own may wish to visit the interesting Petroleum Museum.
