Ships in Bergen

As regular readers of this blog will know, last week I moved to a new apartment. One blog-friendly outcome of this is that many of the cruise ships calling into Bergen now sail (distantly but directly) past the bottom of my garden. I expect this viewpoint will become a regular addition to the blog... The following photos show this evening's parade of ships; Balmoral , Costa Favolosa and MSC Magnifica .

Today Costa Favolosa made another of her regular calls into Bergen. You can find out more about this impressive ship in our previous post . Want a different perspective? Take a look at our aerial photos of Costa Favolosa as she sailed under the Askøy bridge last week. I took the following photos as  Costa Favolosa  departed her berth at Bontelabo this afternoon. Aslo in port today was Oceania Cruises' Nautica .

I always enjoy watching cruise ships sail under the Aksøy bridge; it offers a rare vantage point, and the chance to see these behemoths from a different perspective. There was something particularly impressive about seeing  Costa Favolosa  today. Her sharp lines looked crisp and smart in the afternoon sunshine, and although she is a regular visitor to Bergen, she really stood out for me this time. You can read more about  Costa Favolosa , including a brief history and plenty more photos in our previous post .

This morning I caught  Costa Favolosa and AIDAsol as they passed the Bergen-Askøy ferry on my commute to work. Both of these ships have featured on the blog over the past couple of weeks, so I won't say too much here. If you'd like to find out more you can take a look through our previous posts on Costa Favolosa and AIDAsol . Otherwise, just enjoy the photos! Also in town today was AIDAluna , and I got a few photos as I passed her on my way home. It's been a very wet couple of days in Bergen. Let's hope all of the cruise passengers had their rain jackets and umbrellas to hand...
