Bessaker is a picturesque coastal village in the Trøndelag region that has developed into a charming port of call for smaller cruise ships. While the Hurtigruten ships only pass by today, the sheltered harbor welcomes travelers who wish to experience untouched Norwegian nature. Due to its remote location, arrival requires careful planning, but promises a delightful journey through Norway's landscape.
Airplane
The nearest major airport is Trondheim Værnes (TRD), located approximately 93 kilometers south of Bessaker. Trondheim is easily accessible from Oslo (OSL) with direct flights. After landing in Trondheim, onward travel by rental car or a combination of bus and ferry is recommended. The drive from Trondheim to Bessaker takes about two hours by car. For a relaxed embarkation, especially for international flights, an overnight stay in Trondheim on the day before the cruise is advisable.
Car & Ferry
Traveling by private car from the DACH region is a popular option and often involves a ferry crossing to Norway. A common route, for example, leads from Kiel with the Color Line to Oslo. From Oslo, follow the E6 towards Trondheim. To bypass the Trondheimfjord, it is best to use one of the regional ferry connections before covering the last approximately 120 kilometers to Bessaker via rural roads. In Bessaker itself, there are limited parking options, including at local campsites that offer spaces for travelers.
Public Transport
Arriving by public transport in Bessaker is a scenic, albeit more time-consuming, alternative. The central hub for rail travelers is Trondheim. From there, bus connections exist that often include ferry crossings to reach the coastal region. Rome2Rio suggests a combination of ferry and bus from Trondheim Airport (TRD) to Bessaker, which can have a travel time of around 6 hours 4 minutes. Please note that the frequency of bus and ferry connections in this rural region of Norway may be limited, making early travel planning essential.
Check-in & Embarkation
Please note that you will generally receive a fixed time slot for check-in with your travel documents, which is binding for your embarkation. Plan sufficient time for the journey to the port accordingly and consider that the latest embarkation time - depending on the cruise line and destination area - is usually scheduled about one hour before the planned departure.
The same applies during the journey: for shore excursions, you should be back on board at least one hour before departure. Always pay attention to the latest announcements as well as the notices on board, as mooring and departure times can change at short notice.
