Departure: Bergen Strandkaien

The ferry from Bergen to Norheimsund leaves from Bergen Strandkaien, in Bergen - Bergen is the fjord capital of Norway, with the Bryggen wharf, the fish market and the Fløibanen funicular. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: The light-rail Bybanen runs from Bergen Airport to the centre in about 45 minutes and the airport coach is a little faster, both good options for one traveller with light bags; a private car is the direct choice for families, groups, late arrivals and fjord day trips, and takes about 30 minutes to the centre.

• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Bergen Strandkaien; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours arranges a private transfer from your hotel in Bergen to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several
• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure

If you brought the car, the road out of the port is signposted for the main routes.

Onward journeys from Norheimsund - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.
