Fred Olsen cruise ship Boudicca departing Bergen, Norway; Cruise ship aerial view

Fred Olsen's traditional cruise ship Boudicca is a regular visitor to Bergen. Today I caught her from a different angle, as she sailed under the Askøy bridge on her departure from the city.

Keep you eyes peeled for more photos of Boudicca and the other ships in the Fred Olsen fleet in Bergen over the coming months.

Also in town today were Mein Schiff 6 and AIDAvita.

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.

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

Image
The tour continues with the Britannia Restaurant. The main dining room on board, this is used by all passengers travelling in standard cabins, whilst the smaller Princess Grill and Queens Grill restaurants are reserved for those travelling in suites. The Britannia Restaurant really is an impressive room, with a large double-height central section surrounded by tall columns, and tiered upper levels joined by a sweeping staircase at the forward end of the room. The Britannia Restaurant The restaurant is open for a la carte breakfast and lunch with an open seating. For dinner, tables and dining times are assigned to guests in each stateroom, and remain unchanged throughout the crossing (though we were able to switch to a larger, more attractive table after speaking with the Maitre d' on the first afternoon). Sitting at a larger table provides a great opportunity to get to know your fellow diners during the trip. Dinner soon becomes the main event of the days on board.
