MICHE99 Posted August 6, 2022 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Does anyone know when we leave Scotland and how early we dock in Bergen? I am wondering if we will see much of the fiords or if we will be traveling through them in the dark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to MVJ, on our September BIE cruise we leave Shetlands at 5 pm and arrive in Bergen at 8 am. On our last cruise to Bergen, I got up as soon as the sun started to rise (about 4:30 am), bundled up and sat on the balcony to watch as we went up the coast of Norway. It was a highlight of the trip for me. Our cabin was on the starboard side, which was perfect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then staying one night can accomplish my desire to see the fiords. on a side note ….. what is MJV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you decide that you like what you see there, consider a Norway cruise that hits one of more of the big fjords - Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord or Aurlandsfjord. They are breathtaking. The example below is from the Aurlandsfjord, on the way to a small town called Flam. Enjoy your trip! 🍺🥌 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you might consider heading up to the Explorer’s Lounge in the wee hours. The view should be wonderful from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryInIL Posted August 9, 2022 #14 Share Posted August 9, 2022 The excursions for BIE show a flightseeing tour of the fjords near Bergen. I thought I read somewhere there were also private boat tours (Viator?) of the fjords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, we took the Rodne cruise below - very pleasant trip, unfortunately the weather was "normal Bergen" - pouring rain. A good fit for half a day - leaves from the wharf right downtown, about 20 minute walk from the ship. 🍺🥌 https://rodne.no/en/fjordcruise/fjord-cruise-to-mostraumen/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICHE99 Posted August 10, 2022 Author #18 Share Posted August 10, 2022 When can we see the details of the itinerary on the Viking website? Wanting to understand how much time we have at each port while I’m researching activities. Does anyone who did the London to Bergen route have that information?

This has been confusing me of late, both in the cruise we just cancelled and in our new British Isles Explorer cruise. But I have worked out that if you swap from daily view to the summary page and back, the port times often appear. I just trialed this for 3 ports at a time and it worked - but the earlier ones disappeared. I know - sounds silly and may be coincidence, but I can always eventually find the times🤔🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
