MS Bergensfjord is a cruise ferry owned and operated by the Norwegian ferry operator, Fjord Line and is used on their Hirtshals - Kristiansand - Stavanger - Bergen route.
The ship was ordered in March 2010, launched in March 2013, and delivered to Fjord Line on 3 February 2014. Bergensfjord is the sister ship of the Stavangerfjord built in 2013. Like its sister ship, it ran exclusively on liquefied natural gas{{cite web|title=Fjord Line ferries: 100% LNG|url=http://www.fleetsandfuels.com/fuels/lng/2012/07/fjord-line-ferries-100-lng/ |publisher=Fleets and Fuels|accessdate=15 January 2014}} from 2013 to 2022. Due to the 2021–2023 global energy crisis increasing LNG prices to uneconomic levels, Fjord Line decided to replace the LNG-only engines with dual-fuel engines.{{cite web |last1=Bankes-Hughes |first1=Lesley |title=EUROPE: Fjord Line switching LNG-fuelled vessels to dual fuel engines |url=https://www.bunkerspot.com/europe/58019-europe-fjord-line-switching-lng-fuelled-vessels-to-dual-fuel-engines |website=Bunkerspot - Independent Intelligence for the Global Bunker Industry}}
