The last turnaround call for Viking this year

This year, Viking Cruises has had 30 port calls, equivalent to 75 days at the quay.

A turnaround port call means that the cruise journey either starts or ends in Bergen. Both the city and the Port of Bergen are keen to have more turnaround port calls and are working strategically towards this goal.

When cruise tourists begin or end their journey in Bergen, they often stay a few extra days. This benefits the city's businesses, says Port Director Michal Forland.

When Viking Venus departs Skolten at 6 PM today, there will only be four turnaround port calls left in Bergen this year. The next Viking ship to arrive is Viking Vela, which will come on January 21st.
