Recently 6 of us friends from Arizona, Key Largo, Michigan, Ireland and Scotland took an all girls trip for 5 days on The Barolo, a private luxurious yacht in Norway. The crew of three worked together seamlessly and provided a lifetime memorable experience for us all...

Beginning in Stavanger and ending in Bergen, we slowly traversed the magnificent fjords, docking each night in secluded, idyllic coves. 

We were enlightened about the sites and culture and unrivaled beauty of Norway.  We became personally close to all crew members who ensured we were having an amazing cruise.  

The Chef, Tommy, prepared 3 delectable meals per day, unrivaled in taste, presentation,  culinary artistry. He made homemade ice cream,  bread, and of course, waffles! Dinners were 3 course, each prepared to tantalize the taste buds with a variety of spices and flavors. Tommy never failed to please and delight with his skills as a top notch chef. 

The owner of the yacht,  Helge Ljones,  arranged for helicopter tours over the glaciers and stunning landscapes,  accompanied us on a hike to a lake at the end of waterfalls and roaring rivers with water so clean we filled our bottles and had a picnic lunch next to the pristine lake. Helge’s efforts to ensure we had an exceptional adventure were admirable and highly appreciated.  His knowledge of these areas is extensive and his dedication to his clients is remarkable . 

The Captain,  Paul, is the youngest and highest ranked in the business.  He is professional,  focused, amicable and skilled. He parallel parked the 271 foot vessel backwards up to the dock. He maneuvered the vessel so that we had the opportunity of 360 degree views of the Majestic sites from every angle.  

The most repeated word heard on each of the 5 days was “AMAZING!” 

Words are not adequate to sufficiently express our awe of Norway’s stunning natural beauty nor the kindness and efforts of the 3 man crew who became close friends and an integral part of the joy we experienced. 

One of the top adventures of our lifetimes.  

Majestic and blissful journey.  

We are gratefully appreciative of our time on the yacht, BAROLO.

Fjord Line cruise between Bergen and Stavanger

Beautiful mountains and deep fjords make an unbeatable Norwegian combination. Travel with Fjord Line between Bergen and Stavanger! Book your ticket here.

The Fjord Line ships, MS Stavangerfjord and MS Bergensfjord, travel daily from Bergen to Stavanger through exceptionally beautiful natural landscapes. Sailing directly from the Port of Bergen in the city centre, Fløyen, Ulriken and the other city mountains along the fjord provide a bewitching backdrop as we make our way to beautiful Haugalandet, where the distance between the open sea to islets, archipelagos and deep fjords is minimal.  The ship sails in inshore waters for the entire voyage, so you're never far from natural landscapes or landmarks. For example, when sailing from Bergen you can see Askøybroen (Askøy Bridge) and Sotrabrua (Sotra Bridge), two gigantic suspension bridges that connect the mainland to the two Hordaland islands. Both bridges are over one kilometre in length and create a dramatic sight from the deck at the bow of the ship or from the large panoramic windows on board. And be prepared for Karmsund bru (Karmsund Bridge) too. This bridge, connecting Karmøy and Haugesund, illustrates what is so wonderful and unique about voyages in Western Norway. It's not possible to get a closer mix of nature and man-made structure. Karmsund Bridge's characteristic arch makes it popular with photographers, so have your camera ready! On board, you can enjoy good food and recharge your batteries before arriving at the historic and dynamic city of Stavanger. Fjord Line has menus and restaurants to cater for all tastes. For those that like a little bit of everything, the Commander Buffet restaurant, which has daily breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, is a good option. As it's a buffet, you can pick and mix to your heart's content. If you'd prefer a romantic à la carte dinner, then the Grieg Brasserie is the place for you. Here, you can savour various tasty dishes composed of top-quality raw ingredients. Or for something quick and easy, why not try the Oasis Garden Café. The ships are also equipped with a comfortable lounge where, for an additional fee, you can enjoy the sea view in a comfortable seat and help yourself to hot and cold drinks throughout the journey. Here you have access to wifi and power sockets and it is possible to order lunch and dinner from a separate menu. For a round trip from either Bergen or Stavanger, an interesting alternative is travelling back on Kystbussen (the coastal bus). With this option, we would recommend a minimum one-night stay in Bergen or Stavanger. The bus takes about five hours and can be booked online here. After arriving in Stavanger, the ship continues on to Hirtshals in Denmark and then to Kristiansand. Trips to Denmark, can be booked at fjordline.com DEPARTURES 2024: Bergen - Stavanger: Every day: at 13:30 p.m. Attendance 60 minutes before departure.
