Hello! My family returned to the USA from a European holiday at the end of the summer of 1971 aboard the Bergensfjord. I have NOT been able to find any information about that specific ship, and whatever became of it in the years since. Any information, or ideas on how to learn the fate of the ship would be great, as unfortunately, all of my mementos from the ship/trip were lost to fire last year. Thank You! -ksmyaz3@yahoo.com

There was more than one ship named the Bergensfjord, there is information on an earlier one on this site. A quick Google search turned up information on this later ship:
