The beautiful Rotterdam departing Bergen


 Share

Recommended Posts

This afternoon Rotterdam sailed from her berth in Bergen, Norway after calling into the city for the day. She seems like a great ship, and there were plenty of happy cruisers lining the rails to watch the sailaway :). I've put a full set of photos up on my hobby blog...

I hope these are of interest to some of you here :D

Thank you for sharing your own love affair with cruise ships. As a local, what off the beaten track tips can you offer a do-it-yourself cruise passenger who arrives in your lovely city of Bergen for one whole day?

Yes, ms Rotterdam is a great ship.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful photographs.

We look forward to visiting Bergen again on the Rotterdam's Voyage of the Vikings this summer.

You live in a wonderful city.

OlsSalt; to answer your question, I've started a thread over on the 'Ports of Call' board to help people out wiht their visits to Bergen: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2497578

 

If you have any other questions though, please fire away! I'm happy to help.

 

I hope all of you visiting Bergen soon will have a great trip. I'll try to get some photos of Rotterdam's upcoming departures over the summer, so you can all see your sailaways from the other side too :D

Thanks for the link and the great local service you are providing. My own goal is the Hanseatic Museum this time we go back to Bergen.

As it happens, a close friend of mine has just started working as a guide at the Hanseatic Museum. I've never been myself, but I can ask her if she has any top tips for you on your trip (special information, best times of day to visit, etc.) :)

Rotterdam called into Bergen again today, and I caught her departure as I passed her on my way home from work :)

 

Again, there's a full set of photos up on my hobby blog, for those of you who may be interested:

So exciting to see this "just the right size" ship that we will soon be boarding in only a few weeks, which also includes a visit to your lovely city too. Keep the weather looking as good as it did in this photo, please. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. I just subscribed to your blog and am looking forward to your posts.

Your pictures and comments about the ships are most interesting.

 

Thanks for your kind comments :) I hope you enjoy the blog updates; it's grown from 'somewhere to dump my cruise ship photos' into a really fun hobby. Always interesting to do a bit of research into the ships that visit the city :).

Hehe, I'll do my best with the weather ;). Hopefully I'll be able to catch a few photos of your arrival or departure from Bergen too...if I do I'll post them to this thread :).
