That's what I'm hoping. I purchased my ticket, went for first class minipris for about half what the regular economy ride would've been (about $68 USD) - a definite bargain, IMO.
I have most of an evening and most of a day in Bergen to explore, and a full day with an extra morning for Oslo. Very much looking forward to this trip

although I am expecting some sticker shock.
