With 31 departures to Bergen on sale in total for 2025, this means that seat capacity has more than doubled.

Bergen gives travellers access to stunning Fjords such as Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord and the city itself boasts spectacular mountains which are wrapped around a picturesque harbour lined with a variety of fashionable restaurants and bars, Jet2.com explains.

This historic harbour district, Bryggen, is part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List and provides visitors with one of the world's most significant examples of the history and culture of a particular medieval settlement.
