Bergen to Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

Had to choose cruise to make up for longer Malta cruise cancelled due to covid. Chose cruise for fjord scenery and big upgrade in room. Loved the Penthouse Suite which saved the day in so many ways. Huge, comfortable, large, working shower, lots of storage and terrific butler with staff. So many very professional staff showing Viking has improved training big time but still need work in some ...

This was our third Viking cruise, our first ocean cruise. We loved it so much that we arranged another Viking Scandinavian cruise while we were sailing. We loved the ship, the crew, the food, and the excursions — everything! The ship is beautiful, with enough space that we could get away from everyone if we wanted quiet, but enough activity that we could feel part of the action. I appreciated how ...

We traveled on the Waterways of the Tsars with Viking a few years ago before covid hit. It was an exceptional experience. We decided to try the ocean cruise combined with a river cruise for my wife's and my 65th birthdays. Together we totally enjoyed the ship. The staff was superb and the food outstanding. We were quite disappointed with all of the land excursions. I guess we were spoiled on ...

This was our first cruise and it was beyond what our expectations could ever be. The crew of the Viking Venus was amazing, friendly, caring and truly made the cruise portion unforgettable! The amenities of the ship and the quality of entertainment was fantastic and made for some fun evenings. The shore excursions were immersive and really made for a balanced trip of relaxion and educations. ...

We chose Havila because the ship (actually the Castor, the same model and age is the listed Capella) has a capacity of only some 400 passengers, so is able to navigate the various Arctic fjords on the long northern route up from Bergen all the way to the top of Norway and back. The very high cruise critic ratings for this cruise all proved true - great scenery, Northern Lights visible even in ...

Just completed the 7-day Northbound journey from Bergen to Kirkenses (sort of…more on that later). We did this trip in winter in the hopes of seeing the Aurora Borealis. This trip exceeded our expectations in every way. First, our expectations: It’s a working supply ship, so…rustic, probably dated, not necessarily the most comfortable ship, possibly loud during loading/unloading, boring (very ...

We were so grateful for the great time we had on board - thanks to the cruise team we had the holiday of a lifetime! There was absolutely nothing to complain about, but many points to praise: + the staff were always cheerful, friendly, hardworking and efficient - they really made you feel welcome and showed genuine interest to make this holiday the best experience you could have + very ...

Hurtigruten sailings Bergen to Bergen are a relaxed way in a small ship of experiencing many many small ports up and down the Norwegian coast . No stop is longer than 3 hours most a lot less so little chance of exploring any of it to any depth but enough to get a good overview for further exploration . Some extra excursions supplied but several did not run for weather or lack of numbers reasons. ...

We had seen this cruise advertised in the newspapers quite a lot and knew several people who had been on it. This one is different from other cruises as the ship has a schedule to meet to fulfil its obligations to the Norwegian government. We liked the idea of stopping at ports several times a day (and night!) and seeing lots of different places. We booked through ROLCruise and the price ...
