ShipsInBergen Posted August 19, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Last week Mein Schiff 1 (ex Celebrity Galaxy) called into Bergen, Norway. I got some nice photos which are now on my blog of ships in the city. http://shipsinbergen.blogspot.no/2014/08/mein-schiff-1.html In port the following day was Mein Schiff 2 (ex Celebrity Mercury), which had a collision with another vessel which had lost control! Horizon, now operated by CDF, was also in Bergen recently (blog post with photos to follow). I found it interesting seeing so many ships from Celebrity's old fleet!

I always like looking at older ships and thanks for posting the link to your pictures. Interesting, though, the Mein Schiff looks quite contemporary in its styling.

bachcruise Posted August 19, 2014 #3 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Great shots, thanks for sharing. Selfishly I wish Galaxy and Mercury were still a part of Celebrity's fleet. I loved those ships. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Cruiser 6143 Posted August 19, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Interesting! I've run into the former Mercury several times in the Caribbean. That was the first Celebrity ship I sailed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobnjeff Posted August 20, 2014 #6 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hate seeing all the crap written on the side. Shades of NCL. Otherwise I miss her very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayoldschool Posted August 20, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 20, 2014 My first ever cruise was on the SunDream. We docked next to the Galaxy one day, and I could not believe how big it was. About fifteen years later, we were on one of the last cruises on Galaxy before the transfer. Wonder where the "SunDream" is now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sailed on the Song of Norway in the mid 70's, last thing we heard about her was she was being used as a casino for awhile in the Orient, and had been sold for demolition sometime this year.

About fifteen years later, we were on one of the last cruises on Galaxy before the transfer. Wonder where the "SunDream" is now... We were in Antigua in the mid 90's on one of the Sea Godess ships, docked alone early at the old port out by the fort, went to the beach, and later came back and one of the early mega ships(at that time!) had docked behind the SeaGodess. Our ship looked like a lifeboat for that ship. So I know exactly what you mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipsInBergen Posted August 20, 2014 Author #10 Share Posted August 20, 2014 It always surprises me seeing what looks on its own like a decent sized cruise ship dwarfed by a mega-ship docked alongside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShipsInBergen Posted August 20, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted August 20, 2014 A promised, photos of Horizon's call in Bergen last week are now up. Hope you enjoy :) http://shipsinbergen.blogspot.no/2014/08/horizon.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
