The experience

The boat leaves from the middle of Bergen city and heads out slowly into the fjords. You'll watch Bryggen and the seven mountains surrounding the city recede as you cruise past the suburbs of Sandviken and Eidsvåg, passing small islands and villages. The atmosphere shifts noticeably, from the busy second-largest city in Norway to a quiet, open landscape. You can spend the cruise on the panoramic flybridge for unobstructed views, or move between the warm salon and aft deck depending on the weather and where you want to be.

There's an option to stop for a swim in a quiet bay if you want to get in the water. Towels and a warm shower are on board. After that, the yacht heads toward Askøy Island and then turns back toward Bergen, showing you different parts of the city from the sea on the return. Snacks and refreshments come throughout: coffee, tea, soda, water, and the option to bring wine or order a bottle while you're cruising. The boat is warm and enclosed, so it works as a rainy-day activity too, with the panoramic views still clear from inside.
