Flights and city breaks will be on sale from Newcastle to Bergen, with mid-week and long-weekend breaks available.
City break packages include full-day excursions, giving customers opportunity to experience the wonder of Norway's Fjords and mountain scenery.
The programme is part of Discover More - a new and growing range of holidays and breaks designed for those looking for adventure, history, culture and scenery.
The city of Bergen itself boasts a backdrop of mountains, wrapped around a harbour lined with 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.
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: "Norway's famous Fjords need no introduction, and we are incredibly excited to be launching flights and packages to this jaw-dropping destination from Newcastle International Airport. As well as giving customers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the beauty of the Fjords, the city of Bergen is a stunning and vibrant city with something around every corner too."
Loganair operate flights to Bergen and Stavanger in Norway direct from Newcastle International Airport.
