Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks have today announced a new programme of flights and city breaks to Bergen in Norway for Spring 24, giving customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience Norway’s famous Fjords.
The exciting programme of flights and city breaks has gone on sale from four UK bases today. The announcement represents the first time that Jet2 has operated to Bergen in over ten years.
As well as giving customers easy access to stunning Fjords such as Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, the city of Bergen itself boasts a backdrop of spectacular mountains which are wrapped around a picturesque harbour lined with a variety of fashionable restaurants and bars. 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.
The leading leisure airline and city break specialist is launching the new programme to Bergen in Norway in response to increasing demand from customers who are looking for more discovery-based experience holidays. The programme is part of a new and growing product range operated by Jet2holidays called ‘Discover More’ that caters for this audience, which includes non-family bookings, couples and solo travellers.
Discover More is a collection of experience-based city breaks and holidays that have been designed to appeal to those with a sense of adventure, whether that involves ticking off historic sights, delving into local cultures, or soaking up knockout scenery. As well as Bergen, the Discover More range currently includes Iceland, Christmas Markets and Croatian cruises in addition to a number of famous city break destinations.
Discover More packages to Bergen include flights with Jet2.com, including 22kg hold luggage, as well as 3, 4 and 4+-star accommodation and ATOL protection all for a low £60 per person deposit. Packages also include a full-day tour that features a boat trip along the Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord from Flam to Gudvangem, as well as a spectacular mountain railway journey to Myrdal.
The full programme to Bergen is as follows:
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “Norway’s famous Fjords need no introduction and we are incredibly excited to be launching flights and packages to this jaw-dropping destination. As well as giving customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Fjords, the city of Bergen is a stunning and vibrant city with something around every corner too.”
He added: “We are seeing more customers wanting to experience it all on their holidays, whether that is adventure, culture, history or sightseeing. To make life easier for these customers, our Discover More collection puts all of those experience-based holidays, including Norway and Bergen, into one extensive collection. As well as bringing those holidays and breaks together in one place, Discover More offers customers and independent travel agents all the award-winning benefits of a Jet2holidays or Jet2CityBreaks package. This range is set to become a huge hit thanks to the fantastic destinations on offer, coupled with our track record of looking after customers and delivering the very best experience.”
Gaute S. Riise, Vice President Traffic Development at Avinor said: “It is great to see the entrance of Jet2.com and Jet2CityBreaks in the Norwegian market, an important contribution to the tourism industry with the UK being an important inbound market for Western Norway.
