The Admiral sells the view: it faces Bryggen across the harbour, and the Social Bar & Bistro has a terrace on the water.
On a map Skolten looks close, about 700 m in a straight line. On foot it isn’t, because you go round the harbour, so we score it with the centre hotels. For a Hurtigruten voyage from Jekteviken, this side of town is handier.
Breakfast depends on the price type.
Book it if
- You want the classic Bryggen view from your window
- You’re sailing Hurtigruten from Jekteviken
- You’re bringing a pet
Look elsewhere if
- You want to walk to Skolten
- You want breakfast guaranteed
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Clarion Admiral publishes and our own map estimates.
The Social Bar & Bistro, with a terrace on the water, per Strawberry.
No ride to the ship is listed. Skolten is only about 700 m away across Vågen, but on foot you walk round the harbour, so we band it with the centre hotels; the Jektevik Terminal is closer on this side.
Included depending on the price type, per Strawberry; served 06:30 to 09:30.
Across the water Skolten looks close, about 700 m in a straight line, but the walk goes round the head of Vågen. Take a taxi with bags. For a Hurtigruten sailing, the Jektevik Terminal is on this side of the harbour.
Strawberry sends cars to Aimo Park’s City Park garage from NOK 315 a night, cheaper if you register the plate at reception. Nothing for a cruise week.

Which quay
SkoltenMeasured to Skolten, where Bergen Havn’s ocean-cruise turnarounds happen, Clarion Admiral is about 700 m in a straight line. For a Hurtigruten coastal voyage you want the Jektevik Terminal instead, about 400 m away. Your documents name the quay; the Bergen cruise guide has the rest.

In town
KlosterGarasjen, up to NOK 280 a dayThere’s no cruise car park at Skolten or Jekteviken that we could find. KlosterGarasjen, on Vestre Murallmenning, is the garage Visit Bergen puts closest to the coastal-voyage terminal: NOK 26 to 52 an hour, capped at NOK 280 a day, with 3-, 7-, 14- and 30-day passes. Scandic quotes the same garage at NOK 300 per 24 hours, so check the sign.
