Bergen Expedition Cruises Cruise Reviews

The relaxed, open Scandinavian atmosphere on board paired with the great service in all areas but above with the grandiose landscape that constantly passing you by made the trip an expierience. The expeditionteam around Heinz with his assitants Eva und Hegge always prepaired us excellently for the next day with their presentations. They brought us closer to Norway in a good mood. Every ...

Look, I LOVED my Norwegian coastal cruise -- which is why I booked this trip during the height of Covid. It was postponed for two years. I was thrilled to board the ship and was looking forward to a great trip. NOT. This was the first time this itinerary was done by Hurtigruten and the inexperienced expedition team had never been to this area and their answers to everything was "I don't know, I've ...

I have chosen this cruise because I absolutely wanted to see the aurora borealis live and I was very fortunate seeing them on several occasions. The crew always informed us when the lights occurred. Good job well done! Expedition team offered enough and very interesting excursions, some could have been better lead eg the “Art Nouveau Walk” in Alesund, I would give the guide a 4 in a rating from ...

We wanted to get to know the coast of the country of Norway and something about the people. A trip on one of these famous mail boats has always been our dream. The dream began at the airport, with the personal pick-up and ended at the end of the trip with the supervised drive to the airport. We learned a lot from the supervised excursions and the daily excellent lectures on the sections ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights. There were issues with the weather that meant re-arranging our flights, parts of our trip and changing ships, from the Nord Norge to the Kong Harald. This was all done with great efficiency. On both ships the friendly staff excelled in all areas beyond our expectations. The food was excellent and the ship's were kept immaculately clean. We ...

We did enjoy our cruise, but we only had a slight glimmer of the Northern Lights on one evening & the cruise had to be curtailed because of exceptionally stormy weather, and a technical issue with the ship. Norway had floods, roads blocked by snow and truly difficult conditions to contend with. We were also unable to dock at some ports, because of the weather. The excursion to the North Cape had ...

I live in Sweden, and I was looking for a nothern lights tours. My travel agent was highly recommending Hurtigruten's voyages, and finally, after a couple of cancelations due to pandemic, I went on a sail with MS Kong Harald, from Bergen to Kirkenes and back to Bergen. I booked flights, transfers, full board, coffee/tea, wifi and 6 excursions. And everything went great! The only negative ...

The hole Trip was Very good. The food wars delicious, the crew was friendly and helps where ever they can. And the expedition team was friendly and helpful and gave you a lot of hints if you want to go out in one harbor. Liked the cleaning service as well and I will do the same route again at the end of summer to see more of the beautiful landscape, more of the beautiful cities, and at least to ...

We chose this cruise because the company have been doing this itinerary for many years. We had gone with them 2 years ago through the NW Passage on the Roald Amundsen ship and were very disappointed with the ship and the staff. We were offered a discount on our next cruise, and chose an itinerary that the company had done many times. This was a good choice. The cruise was great. It was ...

Done this trip before with the same ship, which satisfied. Corona time has special challenges, and was answered. Food was served with grace and deserved a Michelin star or two. The view of the Norwegian coastline is always and once in a lifetime experience, even for one seen it several times before. And no matter the weather you get. Late in the year - from October - you got good chances for the ...
