Bergen Norway: Jet2 launches new flights and package holidays to popular city break destination from Manchester and Leeds Bradford

Jet2 has announced a new programme of flights and city breaks to the popular destination of Norway, providing holidaymakers with a chance to see the  breathtaking fjords and the vibrant city of Bergen. Flights to Bergen will be starting from two airports in the UK.

Starting on 25 April, flights from Manchester and Newcastle International Airports will go to Bergen, marking Jet2's first return to the destination in over 15 years. The programme to Bergen will also launch from Leeds Bradford and Birmingham airports in May. 

Customers can choose from a flight-only option with Jet2.com or a package holiday with Jet2CityBreaks. Package holidays to Bergen are part of Jet2’s growing product range called ‘Discover More’ that have been designed to cater to holidaymakers’ sense of adventure, which includes non-family bookings, couples and solo travellers.

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.

​In addition to Bergen, the Discover More range currently includes Turkey, Iceland, Christmas Markets and Croatian cruises. 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 Gudvangen, as well as a spectacular mountain railway journey to Myrdal.

Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: “We are delighted to see our new programme of flights and city breaks to Bergen start operating from Manchester Airport and Newcastle International Airport. We also look forward to seeing our first flights depart from Leeds Bradford Airport and Birmingham Airport in the coming weeks. 

“The addition of flights and packages to this jaw-dropping destination for spring 24 gives customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Fjords. Bergen is a stunning and vibrant city with something around every corner, and we expect this new programme to be extremely popular.”

Stein Ove Rolland, CEO of Fjord Norway, said: “We are experiencing a steadily increasing interest among Brits who seek to experience the iconic Norwegian fjord landscape. With refreshing nature experiences and strong contrasts, and a region rich in culture, history and cities with small town charm, Fjord Norway has become an attractive destination for British people.”
