Bergen is easy to get to, from the rest of Norway and from abroad. Thanks to direct flights from London, you only need to change planes once to reach Bergen from far-away destinations. You can also take direct sea routes from Denmark and Newcastle-upon-Tyne in England, as well as from the Faeroe Islands, Iceland and Shetland. Scandinavian Airlines (www.flysas.com) and Norwegian (www.norwegian.no) both fly from the UK to Bergen.

Cheap Fights

Cheap flights into Bergen arrive late on Friday evenings; we can put you up overnight on Leader for the official start of your voyage at 7pm on the Saturday. You will be asked to leave Leader in the morning whilst the ship is cleaned and provisioned for your Fjord voyage. Bergen has good Museums and plenty of cultural entertainment so regard the extra day as a good opportunity to explore this historic port.
