Bergen Family Cruises Reviews

we wanted to see the northern lights unfortunately we didnt get to see them except for a tiny wisp which really didnt live up to expectations , very dissapointed we didnt receive free cruise as the tiny spotting by the captain negated it.. the cruise its self was wonderful.the cleaning stuff very efficient and respectful. no tea or coffee facilities in room but you are able to take a travel ...

Always wanted to do this trip. Slightly disappointed with the ship and cabin as used to cruise ships. Wasn't expecting that level of luxury obviously but still disappointed. Cabin spartan and very small. Ridiculous amount of space to get around the bottom of the bed. Not enough tea\milk etc. Got fed up with asking for more. Food lovely. If you don't like the dinner menu you can change it. ...

We have just arrived in Waremunde, Germany from a 7 day Fjord Cruise on Costa Favolosa. When we first considered Costa as part of our 6 month tour of Europe we were very hesitant. We had sailed three times previously on Costa and we vowed never to sail Costa again. Money being the driving force for this trip, finalized our decision. Keeping in mind our previous experiences with Costa, ...

I was going to start my review with the comment, "I read somewhere that $20 Billion of Internet business was lost due to bad, slow, incomprehensible websites, and I was sure that Hurtigruten was included" They had the worst website in the world Wonder of wonders, the website has changed completely, Its now one of the best Even with the old website, if you followed through you ...

Wanted something different for my 60th and a journey but with ease. This did it in spades. Not a typical cruise as working boat but still good food, good lectures/info, fun expedition team to help and point everything out for you to ensure you see the most. Each cruise in different seasons will see something different. e.g. we couldn't go into the fjords because of avalanche risk so didn't see ...

We have just returned from a South to North trip. Some of the experiences were great, the ship was comfortable and the crew friendly but we will not be going again in the late spring for the wildlife as we'd originally intended. From the UK everything is very, very expensive. More than we'd anticipated. £10 for a lager, £40+ for a run of the mill Pinot Grigio, £80-£100 for a 2 hour sightseeing ...

We wanted something a little different...weren't interested in doing nothing but wanted to see and discover new sights and experiences and we weren't afraid of the cold....it did go down to minus 20 degrees! The ship was spotless with a very efficient crew that was always helpful,friendly and courteous. The cabin: Arctic Superior, was small with little space for 2 people to move around but ...

My first time with Hurtigruten, and picked the Northern Lights cruise and to be away for Xmas/New Year. My expectation was that I would be on a merchant ship that takes passengers, how wrong was I. Clearly it was dual purpose with some nice refinements in the passenger areas for relaxation. Whilst the passenger to crew ratio is not that of a cruise liner, you would not know that, they all do ...

Word of mouth from friends and positive reviews led to us taking this cruise. Knew it was not going to be a 'luxury' cruise and a working ship. The Hurtigruten booking staff were excellent to deal with online and will do other bookings e.g. rail and transfers etc. Embarkation and disembarkation done well. The scenery is stunning and seeing Northern Lights on 4 separate occasions makes it a fine ...

To view Northern Light was the purpose of the journey and we did see them on 2 nights , maybe they were not as impressive as they could be but weather and the sun do not always cooperate. However the journey involving 34 ports was very enjoyable and interesting. The ship only half full was very comfortable and the atmosphere on board very real axed and informal, this a working ...
