Creator's Key Takeaways

this is something else this is truly remarkable to be here the beauty of this place is it just can be put into words

it's probably one of the most beautiful places that I've ever visited before on any of my travels and I'm so happy to have been here today

I don't think we're going to be able to get the view that you normally would be afforded here overlooking the valley that we're about to drive down into

be prepared to walk the ship doesn't dock right downtown you're actually going to have to walk quite a bit to get to the city center

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Wear good shoes with grip for Bergen's wet, rocky terrain
โœ“Book the Briksdal Glacier troll cars in advance to avoid a steep 45-minute walk
โœ“Visit the funicular in Bergen for city views (approx $15 USD round trip)
โœ“Check local opening hours, as many shops may be closed on Sundays

๐Ÿ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Physical difficulty of excursions โ€” Use the available transport options like the troll cars at Briksdal Glacier if you have mobility issues
Getting lost or missing the ship โ€” The walking tour in Bergen is straightforward, but allow plenty of time to return to the dock

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

I visited 5 Norway cities in just 5 days on my recent Norwegian cruise adventure. My cruise visited Bergen, Alesund, Olden, Skjolden, and Haugesund. I visit sites such as the Briksdal Glacier, Trollstigen, and the Bergen Funicular in this video of my Norwegian excursions. I set sail on a Carnival Cruise Line ship, Carnival Pride, from Dover, England for a 9-day voyage to Norway. The Carnival Pride, part of Carnival's Spirit class, debuted back in 2002 and is one of the oldest ships in the Carnival Cruise fleet. Carnival recently renovated the Carnival Pride during an extensive dry dock; many of those renovations are featured in this video. For help booking your next trip with my official travel partner: http://travelwithzach.com/ This Carnival Pride cruise ship took me to Norway on a 9-day cruise. This was my 25th cruise overall and my 12th Carnival cruise. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Carnival Pride cruise ship and cruising with Carnival Cruise Line.
