Ports

Bergen is the gateway to the Fjords of Norway and a well-established cruise port. It’s an international city packed with history and tradition, a big city with small-town charm and atmosphere. Stroll around old streets and alleyways, and mingle with the crowds at the Fish Market. Saunter along the listed wooden buildings at Bryggen to the old fortress at Bergenhus, or call in at one of Bergen’s museums and galleries. The panoramic views of the city, the fjord and the ocean are breathtaking.

Loen is a small picturesque village in the Nordfjord region of Norway. Surrounded by glaciers, national parks and waterfalls, Loen is the perfect place for any nature lover. Admire the majestic fjords on the way, and get active once you get there!
