🇳🇴 Norwegian Cruise Line Day 1｜Depart from Bergen and set sail for the Arctic Circle 🐻‍❄️

🚢 This time we chose the Hurtigruten cruise ship, which is well-known in Northern Europe and is famous for its classic Norwegian West Coast route. We boarded the "Aurora Class" cruise ship in the fleet - MS Polarlys, which is designed for sailing in fjords and polar waters. 🗺️ Route Overview • Starting and ending ports: Bergen ➡ Kirkenes • Voyage time: 7 days and 6 nights | Classic West Coast route • Core highlights: Crossing the Arctic Circle, visiting the world's northernmost town, fjord beauty and aurora in the same frame✨ 🌊 Day 1 – Bergen time before sailing We arrived in Bergen, known as the "Pearl of the Norwegian West Coast", one day in advance: ▪️ Bryggen Pier: Walk into the colorful wooden houses and feel the tranquility and poetry of the world cultural heritage. A bowl of fish soup on the corner warms the stomach and heart. ▪️ Floyen Mountain Cable Car: Climb up and overlook the city and the fjord lines surrounded by the seven mountains, which are so magnificent that they take your breath away. ▪️ Fish Market Lunch: Recommend smoked salmon and king crab legs, full of the sweetness from the Norwegian waters. 🌅 At six o'clock in the evening, we dragged our luggage to the port. The MS Polarlys, docked in the quiet bay, had already turned on the lights, and the crew kindly handed over a hot towel and a cup of hot cocoa. Standing on the deck, the sea breeze had a light salty smell, and the suitcase was labeled "Arctic Circle" - the lights of Bergen gradually faded away, and our polar story was just about to unfold. 📒 Notes on life on board 1️⃣ Viewing and photography ▪ Recommended viewing position: The bow deck on the 7th floor, the best place to take pictures of glacier reflections in the morning and wait for the aurora at night. 2️⃣ Dining experience ▪ Local Norwegian flavor: Fresh seafood is served daily, and reindeer meat and cloudberry cake are recommended. ▪ Coffee time: Have a latte + cinnamon roll in the 5th floor viewing gallery, and you can see the fjord scenery outside the window. 3️⃣ Practical reminders ▪ Network: The signal is unstable in the high seas area, so it is recommended to download books or movies in advance. ▪ Keep warm: The deck is windy, so be sure to prepare a windproof jacket, wool hat and gloves. ▪ Consumption: Credit cards can be swiped on the ship, and Norwegian kroner is accepted; a small amount of cash is required in some small ports. 📓 Postscript From the drizzle in Bergen to the aurora in the Arctic Circle, this cruise route is like a living Norwegian landscape scroll. The meaning of travel may not only be the destination, but the temperature of a cup of hot cocoa in the sea breeze, and the moment when the glacier and the ocean meet. #NorwegianCruise #ArcticCircleAdventure #HurtigrutenRoute #NorwayTravel #PolarTour #MSPolarlys #SlowlyTravelTheWorld #Bergen #CruiseTravel #RoadToTheAurora #FjordLife #PolarCruiseStrategy #NordicTravel
