Ships in Bergen

Just a quick post today, with photos of Holland America Line's Rotterdam departing Bergen this afternoon. As a regular caller into Bergen, there are plenty more photos of Rotterdam in our previous posts, along with facts, figures and a short history . The following photos were taken as Rotterdam passed the Bergen-Askøy ferry.

Today Holland America's Rotterdam called into Bergen. Entering service in 1997, Rotterdam has a tonnage of 61,850 and can accommodate 1,400 passengers and 400 crew. Despite having undergone a major refurbishment that saw that the addition of an extra block of cabins at the aft end of the superstructure, Rotterdam has a handsome and restrained profile. She looked really smart alongside at Bontelabo, particularly considering she already has 20 years of service behind her. Hopefully the rain earlier today didn't dampen the passengers' spirits too much, and they were able to enjoy their day in this beautiful city, and the little bit of sunshine that came through during the sailaway.
