Bergen is the usual start or end point for a Norwegian Fjords cruise, ringed by seven mountains and known for the tilted wooden buildings of the UNESCO-listed Bryggen wharf. It is also one of the rainiest cities in Europe, so pack for it. From the harbor you can ride the funicular up Mount Floyen or connect to the Norway in a Nutshell fjord-and-rail tour.
