UK consumer champion Jet2 has put its Norway and Fjords programme on sale for Summer 27, giving customers and independent travel agents even more choice when it comes to booking discovery-based city breaks and holidays to one of Europe’s most spectacular destinations.

The new programme includes eight routes to Bergen from Belfast International (exclusive), Birmingham (exclusive), Bournemouth (brand-new and exclusive), Bristol (exclusive), Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford (exclusive), Manchester and Newcastle (exclusive). Bournemouth is a brand-new and exclusive route for Summer 27.

The programme has been brought forward to give customers and independent travel agents plenty of choice over the Easter and the school holiday period, giving holidaymakers even more opportunities to explore the stunning destination at the best times.

Customers travelling to Bergen can enjoy access to stunning fjords including Aurlandsfjord and Nærøyfjord, as well as the city of Bergen itself, which combines a picturesque harbour, fashionable restaurants and bars, mountain scenery and the historic Bryggen harbour district. Bryggen is recognised by UNESCO as a historic harbour district that reflects Bergen’s importance as part of the Hanseatic League’s trading empire, with many of its characteristic wooden buildings preserved in keeping with traditional patterns and methods.

The programme has been put on sale in response to demand from customers looking for experience-led holidays. Jet2’s Discover More collection is designed to appeal to those with a sense of adventure, from ticking off iconic sights and immersing themselves in local cultures to sampling traditional delicacies and taking in breathtaking scenery.

Discover More packages to Bergen include flights with Jet2, 22kg hold luggage, a choice of accommodation, ATOL protection and fjord cruise included, all for a low £60 per person deposit. A Jet2CityBreak includes Jet2 flights, ATOL protection, 22kg hold luggage and a wide choice of accommodation options. Customers can also choose from a wide choice of excursions and experiences that are available via Jet2experiences.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2, said: “Bergen has proved to be a hugely popular destination with customers and independent travel agents, so we are very pleased to be expanding our programme for Summer 27 and putting eight routes on sale. The addition of a brand-new and exclusive route from Bournemouth gives even more holidaymakers the opportunity to experience this magnificent destination, while the earlier start to the programme means customers can make the most of the Easter and school holiday period.

“Bergen is perfect for customers looking for a holiday that combines culture, adventure and unforgettable scenery. From the famous fjords to the historic harbour district and vibrant city centre, it is a destination that offers a truly memorable experience. We know this expanded programme will be very popular, and we look forward to taking even more customers to Bergen in Summer 27.”
