Rawmac Posted March 11, 2020 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2020 11 March 2020 Bergen’s city council bans cruise ship passengers from leaving ships docked in the city. Cruise ships arriving in Bergen can dock and take on supplies, but passengers must remain on board. The ban comes into force immediately. Bergen had been the only Norwegian port to announce such measures, but Stavanger quickly followed with their own announcement as the number of COVID-19 cases in Norway starts to rise rapidly.

Humbb Posted March 12, 2020 #6 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Has anybody seen posts from travelers on the March 10 Northern Lights cruise? We had to cancel, but I hope they are doing well and get to see the Lights up north. They should have left Bergen before the restrictions took hold.

pixiestyx Posted March 12, 2020 #7 Share Posted March 12, 2020 We also had to cancel, but I believe that ship started heading for Tilbury in the middle of last night effectively ending the cruise early in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
