Byfjorden – The Gateway to Bergen

We are now in Byfjorden, the historic entrance to Bergen. From here, you can see Sandviken, the Askøy Bridge, Laksevåg’s industrial past, and Nordnes stretching into the fjord. For centuries, Byfjorden has been Bergen’s lifeline, with merchant ships, fishing boats, and travelers passing through. Hanseatic traders arrived with goods, while Dutch and English ships loaded dried fish and exports. Today, it remains one of Norway’s busiest waterways. Unlike past steamships and diesel vessels, we sail silently and emission-free—a glimpse into the future of maritime travel.
