What to expect

Experience historical Bergen on this 60-minute intimate guided cruise in Bergen's harbours and the City Fjord. See some of the oldest and most relevant historic sites in the city, including the medieval fortress that served as the seat of Norwegian power in the 13th century and the colourful emblematic Bryggen wharf that made the city thrive as a successful trading centre.

Get glimpses of how the city looked like in the old days when you sail past the old wooden warehouses in Skuteviken and Sandviken, and marvel at the luxury residences blossoming on top of skerries at Måseskjæret or springing out from the mountainside at Verftet. Hard to spot otherwise, you'll sail past the WW2 concrete ruins of the U-Boot Bunker Bruno before waving at the locals bathing in the fjord at the historical Nordnes Sjøbad and returning back to the Fish Market and the very heart of Bergen.

m/s Eric the Red is a modern sightseeing boat with plenty of space on the outdoor deck, a cosy lounge inside, and a stunning view from the panoramic deck. The vessel has a capacity of 98 passengers, is adapted for wheelchair users on the main deck, and there is also space for strollers. The boat's two bars sell beer, wine, and non-alcoholic refreshments.
