Cruise ship AIDAcara in Bergen, Norway; Ships in Bergen blog

Following a particularly cold and icy winter, spring will soon be upon us. As such the cruise ship season for 2018 is tentatively begining, so it's time to breathe some life back into this blog.

I have a few extra posts in the pipeline, including a day spent meeting with 'Hurtigruten 120' author John Bryant, and a subsequent full photo tour of MS Spitsbergen. For now we'll start off lightly, with a set of photos showing AIDAcara's departure from Bontelabo this evening.

AIDAcara is a regular visitor to the city; you can find out more about this interesting little ship in our previous post here.

2018 promises to be another bumper year for cruise ship traffic in and around Bergen, so there should be plenty to keep me busy over the coming months. As always, thanks for reading!

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. MS Stavangerfjord approaches Bergen, Norway 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... A plan of Deck 7, showing the layout of Stavangerfjord's public spaces (credit: fjordline.com) 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. The Reception Desk Directly opposite the reception desk is Bungalow Wine & Tapas Bar, with the fresh food on display making t...

Queen Mary 2 - Photo Tour and Voyage Report (Part 1)

Image
Earlier in January we boarded Cunard's flagship Queen Mary 2 in New York to make the transatlantic crossing to Southampton. This is something I have long wanted to do, and the experience certainly didn't disappoint. I had originally intended to complete a comprehensive photo tour of her passenger decks. Unfortunately, during the crossing, time slipped away (with more than one late night to blame) so I am left with the following photos which I took as I made my way around the ship throughout our 7 days on board. I hope they still give a good overall impression of her public spaces. Queen Mary 2 alongside at Brooklyn cruise terminal We boarded QM2 in Brooklyn. Getting a taxi to the port was quick and easy, and we were on board around 30 minutes after arriving at the terminal. Ready for boarding - Glass gangways lead to the ship Happily our cabins were ready immediately, so we headed straight for our sheltered balcony cabin on deck 4 to drop off our hand luggag...

MS Richard With - Photo Tour

Next in line in our series of photo tours on board the ships of Hurtigruten is MS Richard With. Hurtigruten's fleet of cruise ships operates daily departures on the 11-day round trip from Bergen, calling at 34 ports along the coast of Norway. The route is popular with cruise tourists keen to experience 'the most beautiful voyage in the world', and also serves as a lifeline for many smaller communities in Norway's more isolated north. Scroll down to see our full photo tour of her passenger decks. Hurtigruten's Richard With alongside in Bergen, Norway Named after the Captain who founded Hurtigruten in 1893, MS Richard With entered the fleet 100 years after the opening of the coastal express route. Richard With Built in Germany in 1993, she has a tonnage of 11,305 and can carry up to 623 passengers (464 in berths). She is one of the six '90s' ships in the Hurtigruten fleet; a group of near-sister ships with similar designs and pas...
