About Bergen
Bergen, the city between “the seven mountains,” also known as “the capital of Western Norway” and “the gateway to the fjords,” is a vibrant city with deep historical roots.
As a former Hanseatic city, Bergen is defined by its iconic wooden buildings at Bryggen, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is one of Norway’s leading cruise ports, and its compact city center makes it easy for visitors to explore attractions such as the Fish Market, the Fløibanen funicular, and the Aquarium, often within walking distance of the ship.
Port Information
Bergen has several cruise terminals, with Skolten and Dokken/Jekteviken being the most important. Skolten is within walking distance of Bryggen. The port has the capacity to accommodate several large cruise ships at the same time. With one of Europe’s largest shore power facilities for cruise ships, vessels can reduce emissions while docked, highlighting the city’s environmental commitment.
Bergen Port is a pioneer in sustainable cruise tourism. It has made significant investments in shore power facilities and participates in initiatives such as the Environmental Port Index (EPI), which provides financial incentives for cruise ships with lower emissions. The city’s goal is to require zero emissions from cruise ships by 2030. This work not only contributes to cleaner local air but also positions Bergen as a global leader in green shipping.
