"Queen of Scandinavia" - the
DFDS ferry between Newcastle
England and Bergen, via
Stavanger and Haugesund.
Ferries
to Bergen and south west Norway
There is 1 international
ferry service on the west coast of Norway and this calls at
Bergen
- the
FjordLine "Bergensfjord" operates
to Hirtshals Denmark.
There are other ferry services to Denmark and Sweden from other ports.
There is no longer a service to the UK. The Newcastle ferry stopped in 2008 and will not resume until at least 2011.
There
is no longer a ferry service between Norway and the UK - DFDS Seaways operated
the Newcastle - Stavanger - Haugesund - Bergen route, but
stopped it in August 2008
"Bergensfjord" operates this route from Hirtshals in north Denmark
and is popular with visitors from mainland Europe who want
to cut down on the driving to the west coast of Norway (there are shorter ferry routes to Kristiansand)
During the summer the ferry route that links
Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Shetland and Denmark
used to stop in Bergen, but no longer.
There
are several other ferry ports - including Larvik, Kristiansand and Oslo
- with quite a few other ferry services. These are all covered on our
main Arrival page
on www.stavangertravel.com
Local ferries and fast boats
After
arrival here, there are still many
car ferries and fast boat services linking the communities of
the west coast and the fjords
