It certainly can be done. We disembarked on our own and we never had to got through anything at the port. The ship was already in port so we didn't have to wait for that clearance. If you are on your own and not going with a Viking alternative, the Explorer's desk should be able to help with any transportation questions you might have. The hour of arising might be early but that will probably be the only inconvenience. I was planning a train trip that left at 8:00 and I didn't want to chance not making the connections and not knowing the circumstances, we opted to go the next day as our plans involved two overnights in Bergen before our departure. You will dock the day before you depart so you can get the lay of the land before the actual run and know what all is involved.

Thanks Dauntless. We will be on our own. Planning on taking the 8 AM train to Oslo. The luggage transport company wants our luggage at the train station by 7:20. Are taxis waiting at the terminal or do we need to arrange that ahead of time?

That's the same train we were catching and it can be done. Since we decided not to risk making and go the next day, I don't know about taxis at that time at the port. TellUs@viking might have information but I'm sure they can tell you when you board. Remember you are going to be in port the day before you will need that transportation and I'm sure it can easily be arranged by you or the ship. There will probably be taxis at the port when you arrive or return from your excursions the first day and you can probably obtain first hand knowledge from them and probably make arrangements.

And I would bet that the concierge on board would be more than willing to arrange a taxi for you.
