Bergen – A Beautiful Destination For a Culture-Filled Cruise Break
When considering where to sail off to on a UK cruise, Brits may be spoiled for choice at the number of destinations that are easily within their reach and budget.
Some of the cheapest cruises on offer also give people the chance to head to cities and countries they may not have considered before – and for Brits looking for scenery and culture without being forced to board a flight for hours on end, a cruise to Norway is ideal.
The northern European nation is famed for its spectacular fjords, amazing scenery, skiing and interesting food and drink.
Taking a mini cruise from the UK to the country is a great way of seeing the nation and can also provide a relaxing break. Modern cruise ships are luxuriously appointed, with the chance to take part in a wide range of activities often offered. However, for those looking to take a UK cruise to Norway who wish to relax, there is always the option for Brits of lying by the pool, watching the ocean waves and sipping on their favourite cocktail.
One of the best places to travel to on a cruise to Norway is the city of Bergen. This metropolis is the second biggest city in Norway and is home to more than 250,000 people. The city lies on the west coast of Norway and is within easy reach of the UK for those looking to take a cheap cruise this year. While the city is ideal to visit all year round, the best time to go could be May, when the Bergen International Festival is annually held.
The annual festival includes dance performances, singing, traditional music and literature readings, which could appeal to a wide range of people heading to Norway on a cruise.
This year’s festival bill is set to be an exciting one, with acts including Les Musiciens du Louvre-Grenoble, the Cirkus Cirkor and the Paul Taylor Dance Company all confirmed as performers.
As well as this, those who buy a festival card can claim up to 40 per cent off the price of entry to the event.
