The experience

The boat leaves Bergen city center and heads slowly up the fjords, giving you time to watch Bryggen and the seven mountains (including Mount Fløyen and Mount Ulriken) from the water. As you cruise past the suburbs of Sandviken and Eidsvåg, the scenery shifts from the city's edge to open fjord and islands. The pace is deliberate, built for relaxation rather than covering distance.

The route includes a stop near a beach or quiet bay where you can swim if you want to. Bring a swimsuit and use the towels and hot shower onboard afterward. If you'd rather stay dry, you can lean back on the Panoramic Flybridge on top of the boat or settle inside and watch the view change. Champagne, snacks, coffee, tea, soda and bottled water are all included, so there's no need to arrange anything beyond showing up.

The cruise returns you to Bergen after taking you around to the Askøy side of Byfjorden, giving you a different angle on the city as you head back. Max 12 passengers means it's only your group, no strangers mixed in, and the boat has good facilities onboard. A live English-speaking guide is included, and pickup is arranged.

Top questions

What is Bryggen and why do we see it from the boat?

Bryggen is the UNESCO World Heritage Site in Bergen's harbor: the row of colorful wooden buildings that is the city's most recognizable landmark. The cruise departs from the city center and passes it from the water, so you see it from the seaside with the backdrop of the seven mountains surrounding Bergen.

Can I swim during the evening cruise, or is it just a viewing tour?

You can swim if you want to. The boat stops near a beach or quiet bay in the Eidsvåg area where passengers can jump in. Towels and a hot shower are available onboard. If you'd prefer not to swim, you can relax on deck or inside the boat instead.

What's included in the price, and do I need to bring anything?

Champagne, snacks, coffee, tea, soda and bottled water are all included. If you plan to swim, bring a swimsuit. Everything else (towels, shower facilities, drinks and food) is provided onboard.

How long is the cruise, and what time does it depart?

The cruise runs three to four hours. For the specific departure time, check your booking confirmation or contact the operator directly through the ticket section of their website.

Is this tour suitable for families with young children?

Yes. Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller, and the slow pace and onboard facilities make it accessible for all fitness levels. Service animals are also allowed.
