Amazing Scenery, Wonderful Staff, but a few opps!
"Some disappointments: no working hot tubs, small cabins, so-so food, the free tours of Icelandic ports had nothing much to see (I advise arriving a few days early and do some local tours) ,most of all for me, Hurtigruten advertised activities and sight-seeing in Longyearbyen (including a walrus safari) and there were NONE, just a bus from the ship to the airport.was a repositioning voyage so we had more staff than guests...."Read More

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Fram

2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

I've been to over 130 countries and this was a huge 'bucket list' destination for me. Sailing in the Arctic was one of the most beautiful sights of my life. The ship has been nicely refurbished. The staff was wonderful, especially the expedition team. They were very kind, patient, and knowledgeable. was a repositioning voyage so we had more staff than guests. Some disappointments: no working hot ...

Cruise of Antarctica & Patagonia - Santiago to Valparaiso

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Specifically chose this cruise because it included Patagonia given its size and difficulty to get to. Hard to fault Hurtigruten with seamless arrangements great expedition and on board staff. Started in Santiago with a flight to Punta Arenas then a 6pm departure across Drakes Passage. Smooth going across but made up for it on the way back. Landings at Detaille Island, Jenny Island, Red Rock ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

Best bucket trip, EVER! If you are going to invest in the money, invest in the time and do it right! There were 4 landings in the Falklands then docked at Stanley for the day. Took a day trip to Volunteer Point. Then 5 days in South Georgia where there are massive amounts of wildlife, old whaling stations and Shackleton’s grave. Then on to the icing of Antarctica. At times Caribbean like deep ...

Never travelling with Hurtigruten

Review for a Baltic Sea Cruise on Fram

2-5 Cruises • Age 40s

4th trip with Hurtigruten and it will be the last. Lie on the brochure. If you plan to go to Svalbard to see walruses, polar bears, do not go with this company which has signed an IATO agreement which forces them to observe these animals at least 500m away so a polar bear will only be visible with good binoculars and even. Food really not good, every day, noon and evening the same ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

I don't know where to start, I will just say this is the most amazing experience I have had in my life. The staff were knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic. The excursions were superb...except for the camping, I don't like camping normally but thought this would be different but the tents were small, noisy and our sleeping bag zip was stuck and camp loo was not awesome. If I didn't have to part ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

Bujagirl
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

We had wanted to go to Antarctica for years and after 42 years of childcare (our own 5 boys plus 59 foster childre), it was time to celebrate and just be the two of us! The cruise was a fantastic treat in every way. It was a huge adventure each day, exploring new places we had only dreamed about. The food was outstanding and varied, especially considering we were in the Antarctic! The ...

Trip of a lifetime

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

JoeyBiz
2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

Long wanting to travel to the Antarctic and with previous experience of Hurtigruten- it was a no-brainer! Staff were fantastic and very genuine. All seemed committed to ensuring our maximum safety and enjoyment. Even the engineering staff (who we rarely saw) were friendly and often remembered our names! Food onboard was fantastic and with wine and beer included what’s not to ...

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

Jdkiwi
6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

Fram 23 day cruise offered the opportunity for expeditions on the Antarctica Continent, South Georgia and the Falklands including the Chilean Fiords. This hit everything we wanted to see. However, due to having active Covid cases on board during our cruise, which was quickly quarantined and maintained, we were unable to go to the Falkland islands as they did not consider us a green ship at the ...

Unforgettable experience

Review for a Antarctica Cruise on Fram

ISRESA
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Cruise to very remote areas in a very comfortable way. Everything well arranged and problemfree. Dedicated expedition team, not only competent, but also pushing strongly to give its guest the best experience. Trip of a lifetime. Quite large cabin with double bed and WC/shower. Clean and maintained twice a day. Internet Connection available at extra charge. Worked OK even in very remote areas. ...
