Ferry to Norway, Bergen area.

[brewx1]

I know there are folks up that way on here who may be able to give me some info. I'm looking to get to Bergen with a landrover + trailer to collect some belongings for a friends son who's moving back here.

Years ago I went there by ferry from Newcastle, but it now appears this ferry no longer runs.

Much appreciated if anyone who may travel UK to Norway can give me any info on routes available and rough idea of cost if possible, Cheers Alex.

Think you have to go the long way round these days mate. Mike hill may be able to help, he is based in Bergen.

Try the timber ferries sailing out of Grimsby you might be able to get a special one off deal and they sometimes have a spare cabin.

I really miss the Newcastle ferry to my home in Stavanger.

 

I now have to take the fast ferry from Kristiansand to Hirtsals (Denmark), then drive down to Esbjerg to catch the ferry from there to Harwich.

 

Or you just take a plane and pay the excess baggage.......

A landy and trailer is quite a bit of excess though....lol.

You could load the Landy and Trailer as freight in NewCastle and then fly over.Thats the only way I have heard of doing it directly to Bergen these days.

Thanks guys, very surprised to find no more direct services to Norway. Explains some of the quotes he had for removals. Shame as well, I remember going out on deck on a misty morning and been stunned by the scenery with the ferry sailing up the fjords, it certainly beat Dover-Calais.

Will have to re-think that then. Cheers.

I think they still run cargo ships that route. May still work out cheaper than the long way around.

Landy & trailer may not be the best option though, they're usually priced on length.
