Bergen to Arctic Cruise Reviews

Wanted real Norwegian experience- visiting local places, travelling with locals Wonderful cabin, junior suite Fab bathroom & great shower Amazing views from room Great food, plenty choice. Managed allergies The crew were great Advice re swimming. Tours pricey but good Alcohol very expensive at least £45 for a bottle of wine. There are options on board that give a bottle a day ...

This is a must do. The combination of landscape, safety, very good and healthy nutrition, calmness and a very interesting expedition and board programs is incredible.The excursions were great. Onboard passing a magnificent landscape and being always the number one customer is incredibly good. You see the fabulous coast line of Norway and pass the polar circle and Nordkapp. The menus and buffets on ...

Can't really complain about anything. Food, service and room were all excellent. Weather sucked, but that's Iceland. Would have liked to know if there were any instances of Covid on board, but Captain and crew were silent. Tours were generally very good. Reykjavik tour was so so. Buffet was excellent and up to the standards that we've become used to on Viking. Embarking and disembarking ...

We cruised aboard the “new” cruise ship traveling the Norway coast up to the Arctic Circle. This is the Capella, owned by Havila, a Norwegian company. This cruise took place the last week of Sept. – ending 12 days later. I was unable to find any reviews on Cruise Critic prior to the trip, other than a general overview of the ship’s features. Hopefully this will whet the appetite of those ...

(There was not a choice for Norway or Iceland on the list) The trip started in Bergen Norway, spending one night there, then sailing, and stopping at four ports along the way. One complimentary shore excursion is included in every port. That is, if they are not SOLD OUT out before you have the chance to make your selection. Extra paid excursions are available, most of which were too much for us ...

We chose the cruise on MS Trollfjord after seeing an article in a women's magazine the previous year. It was a Northern Lights cruise with Wildlife. Michael Strachan was on the ship for a few days which was an added attraction. We had to book through Iglu Cruises/Planet Cruise and felt that it would have been better to have booked directly with Hurtigruten. Iglu told us that one of the ...

All the services on board, very good ship, cabin ok, dining ok, but impossible because the weather to go to the North Cape. we have known an other way of life with sea and the cold and fishing. People quiet and very clean. All the services at the hour, all excursion very well organized. Very good travel, Hurtigruten is a wonderful company. We don't know if you come again in spring or summer ...

I thought the classic round trip would give me the best opportunity to see the Northern lights. Overall the trip exceeded my expectations. The ship was very good and run in an efficient way. The staff were very hardworking, particularly the restaurant waiter service. Their language skills & friendly service were excellent. I cannot fault the choice and standard of food. Yes the excursions ...

Wanted to see Northern Lights - Hurtigruten recommended by friends, and YES we did see the lights for several nights. But, be aware, the lights do not look bright green. Often they are no more than white cloud. Only when you photograph the sky do you capture the green colour. It is very exciting when you get your first green images! Polarlys is an expedition boat so has an expedition team ...

The travel arrangements were very easy and straightforward. A very traditional ship kitted out with plenty of oak, brass and glass lighting. We chose a cabin on the promenade deck (deck 5) which was both compact but extremely comfortable. Our cabin choice included a ‘tea package’ and wi-if which were both used daily. The dining was very informal, buffet breakfast and lunch offering a variety ...
