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...

Seabourn Legend

Today Seabourn Legend, Artania and Horizon all called into Bergen. I was not in the city centre to watch them depart, but fortunately during a trip I took with a friend we spotted Seabourn Legend ahead, and picked up our speed to move alongside her and get a few photos. Approaching Seabourn Legend Seabourn Legend is a small cruise ship, with a gross tonnage of just under 10,000. Entering service for Royal Viking Line in 1992 she joined the Seabourn fleet in 1996 and has been sailing with them ever since. Seabourn Legend departing Bergen In 1997 Seabourn Legend featured in the film 'Speed 2: Cruise Control'. Much of the production took place onboard, providing an interesting look at the ship. The final scenes of the film feature Seabourn Legend crashing into an island. At the time this ranked as the most expensive stunt ever filmed.

AIDAluna

Image
Earlier this week AIDAluna called into Bergen, and I was able to take a few nice photos; both as I passed her on the ferry home, and as she sailed past Nordnes on her departure from the city later in the afternoon. Entering service in March 2009, AIDAluna is the third of six Sphinx-class ships built by Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany for AIDA cruise lines. With a tonnage of just over 69,000 and a length of 252m, she can accommodate around 2100 passengers and 600 crew. Also in port were AIDAcara and Fred Olsen's Balmoral . To see our photos of her sister ship AIDAsol, take a look at our previous post here .
