MS Stavangerfjord - Ship Visit and Photo Tour

Image
Last week I went on board Fjordline's cruise-ferry Stavangerfjord, for a whistle stop tour of her passenger facilities during her impressively fast turnaround in the city.

To find out a bit more about her design, construction and service, take a look at my previous post here, with photos of Stavangerfjord approaching Bergen taken last December.

Otherwise, keep reading to have a look around her public rooms, cabins and suites...

With a few exceptions, Deck 7 contains all of Stavangerfjords public spaces. The gangway leads directly to the middle of this deck, adjacent to the reception desk. First impressions are good, with an attractive entrance area and smiling staff to welcome you on board.

Directly opposite the reception desk is Bungalow Wine & Tapas Bar, with the fresh food on display making this an appealing area. A grand piano stands in on corner of the space, next to the main walkway leading forward through the ship.

At the forward end of Deck 7 is the Fjord Lounge. The e…

MS Trollfjord - Photo Tour

Image
Up next in the series of photo tours on board the ships of Hurtigruten is MS Trollfjord.

Regular readers of this blog will know the drill by now; MS Trollfjord is one of a fleet of 11 ships that together offer daily departures from Bergen on the Express route along the coast of Norway. The ships serve a dual roll as both cruise ships and cargo ships, and are vital in connecting many of the smaller communities in the northern part of the country.

Scroll down to take a look around her interiors and public decks.

EXTERIOR

A sister ship to Midnatsol, Trollfjord is one of the newer and larger vessels in the fleet. She makes for a handsome sight whilst moored alongside at Hurtigruteterminalen, Bergen. With her slightly squat but attractive profile she is a well presented ship.

Built in Norway in 2002, she has a gross tonnage of 16,140 and can accommodate 822 passengers (640 in berths).

After passing through check-in at the terminal building, passengers are given a short video safety briefing…

Zuiderdam

Image
Helping to fill out the A-Z of cruise ships, Zuiderdam made her first call of the season to Bergen today.

Entering service for Holland America in 2002, Zuiderdam was the first of the vista class ships, which include (along with her 3 sister ships in the Holland America fleet) P&O's Arcadia and Cunard's Queen Victoria & Queen Elizabeth. These are an attractive class of ship, with clean lines and nicely balanced, if angular, profiles.
Zuiderdam has a length of 291m, a tonnage of 82,000, and can accommodate up to 2,272 passengers and a crew of 842.
I photograped her as she passed the Bergen-Askøy ferry this morning on her way in to town, and again from the Askøy bridge during her departure this afternoon.
