Collecting your ferry tickets from Bergen port

Once you’ve finalised your booking, you’ll receive a confirmation email. It depends on the ferry operator you book with as to how your boarding pass is issued and collected.

The ticket desks are usually located near the ferry terminals. To avoid any delays at the port, we’d recommend allowing some extra time to collect your tickets and to check-in. 

During check-in, you’ll need to show your email confirmation along with an official photo ID, such as a passport or identity card. If you booked your ticket with a resident discount, proof of residence may also be required. If you’re travelling with a pet, you may also be asked to provide documentation showing their vaccinations and insurance.

Why are there no ferries available on the date I want to travel?

 There could be various reasons why there are no departures from Bergen to Flåm for the date you’ve requested. Possible reasons include:

  • Limited availability: popular sailings, especially those during the summer months, can often sell out quickly.
  • Seasonal timetables: many routes only operate during certain times of the year.
  • Temporary cancellations: ferries can sometimes be rescheduled due to weather conditions, maintenance or port closures.

If your preferred sailing isn’t available, then we’d recommend checking other dates or looking for overnight crossings as these can sometimes be quieter. We’d also recommend looking at alternative departure or arrival ports.

When is the best time to book a ferry to Flåm?

The best time to book ferries from Bergen to Flåm is usually as early as possible. By booking in advance, you’ll not only get your tickets at the best available prices, but you’ll also get a better choice of departure times and cabin/seating options.
