Bergen Historic Sightseeing Cruise
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 colorful emblematic Bryggen Hanseatic Wharf that made the city thrive as a successful trading center. 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 the skerries at Måseskjæret or springing out from the mountainside at Verftet.
Hard to spot othewise, you will sail past the WW2 concrete ruins of the U-Boot Bunker Bruno before waving to 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 Bloodaxe is a modern sightseeing boat with plenty of space on the outdoor deck, a cozy 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. Beer, wine and non-alcoholic refreshments are sold in the boat's two bars. The vessel is named after Norway's second king and viking ruler, Eric I Haraldsson (885AD - 954AD) nicknamed Eric Bloodaxe.
