Ships in Bergen

In addition to my previous post showing Silver Wind arriving into Bergen on Monday, I also went to watch her departure from the city, and took the following photos. Silver Wind pulled away from her berth right on time at 23:00, sadly just a couple of minutes after a fantastic sunset (which could have produced some lovely pictures).

One of the cruise ships calling into Bergen to day was Silversea's Silver Wind . This handsome little ship has (along with her sister Silver Cloud ) been a mainstay of the luxury cruise market for over 20 years, and the pair are still going strong. A series of refurbishements and improvements throughout her career have seen Silver Wind cement her place in the industry, despite competition from an increasing number of modern luxury cruise ships. Silver Wind is 156m long and has a tonnage of 16,800. Her 294 passengers are looked after by a crew of 204. The following photos show Silver Wind as she approached Bergen this morning, as seen from the Bergen-Askøy ferry.
