An extended exploration cruise from Alaska through the Aleutian Islands to Nome
"• The staff were always helpful, pleasant and efficient
• Information, lectures, maps and charts were, on the whole, very good
• The food was excellent, always beautifully prepared with a varied and interesting menu
• The service in the restaurant was excellent, the service to table was excellent
• Coffee and tea were always available in the Explorers Lounge
What could be better:-
• Whilst it is understood that on expedition cruises the vagaries of weather and natural obstacles will often interfere
with the best intentions, on this voyage there were too many missed opportunities.’ Or a ‘captain’ who would not get closer to a beach to photograph bears because other Zodiacs ‘were too close’
• The frequency of wildlife sightings (bears, eagles and whales in particular) were very limited – not enough effort was made to maximise opportunities or be transparent about the variable number of sightings...."Read More

Review for a Alaska Cruise on Roald Amundsen

Having been on three previous Hurtigruten cruises we know that the ship size (small), the provision of interesting lectures instead of Abba tribute bands or similar and the unusual itineraries would suit our interests.
After flying to Vancouver for one night the plan was then to be flown to Nome in Alaska and cruise down the Bering Sea and then along the Aleutian Islands and the Inside Passage ...

I chose this cruise after researching small ship cruising that offered opportunities to visit small less visited towns and the areas that the big ships don’t have access to. The cruise has a big emphasis on science with an expedition team led by enthusiastic knowledgeable crew who give passengers the ability and encouragement to submit data, photographs, sightings etc to websites tracking the ...

We really enjoyed the staff and meals, and the extra help the crew supplied due to my sister-in-laws limited mobility. Everyone was friendly and efficient, and the excitement of the expedition team (especially when they were discussing their areas of expertise) was wonderful to watch. The cabins were comfy and well designed, and the ship was new and nice. We appreciated the emphasis on ‘green’ ...

This was a trip to celebrate my wife's retirement. We had seen the "Mighty Cruise Ships" documentary on the Roald Amundsen and booked within days of watching. We were sailing to Antarctica and returning via the Falkland Islands. When we were due to pay the balance of the holiday, I read a lot of negative reviews of this trip and contacted my travel agent (Trailfinders) to see what feedback they ...

I wanted to visit Antarctica for many years but money and time (work commitments) prevented it but I decided to finally get around to doing it as an early retirement present to myself. I didnt want to do one of those "sail past it" cruises on one of the large cruise lines but wanted to get a close up view and set foot on the continent. Travelled with a friend.
I did my research and looked at ...

I was originally planning on booking a high end inclusive smaller ship, but was convinced that this was a better option by a (now that I look at it somewhat biased) travel agent. After booking I got cold feet. My worries were:
1. What if the food is terrible?
2. What if I feel like a soda or beer in between meals?
3. Laundry’s not included and I’m gone 18 days?
4. What if everyone ...

This was not just a cruise. It was an experience, and it met or exceeded our expectations.
We have taken cruises before and always enjoyed them. Although we enjoyed this cruise too, it was more about seeing and exploring the wonders of the White Continent. The word "expedition" feels accurate. It was more adventurous than other cruises, and in that respect, it certainly met our ...

After doing much research, I chose Hurtigruten for our expedition cruise to Antarctica for two main reasons: I am impressed by their commitment to sustainability AND for such a strong emphasis on science. I heard about Hurtigruten when the famous biologist, Jerry Coyne wrote of his experience on the Amundsen lecturing on biology!
From booking to disembarking, everyone who works for Hurtigruten ...

I have to start this review with a fond farewell to Buenos Aires, as the cruise package started from there. We came in early and were in BA the day Argentina won the World Cup, so there was joyful celebrating throughout the city which kicked off a wonderful next 2 1/2 weeks. However... it meant that, two days later, we had to leave our hotel at 1:30 AM in a vain attempt to avoid airport traffic to ...

Cruise to Antarctica - every day was exceptional, every next day seemed even better.
From embarkation to departure, all the staff were committed to ensuring a positive and enjoyable experience. The quality of the modern ship, the excellence of the cabin and the food, the facilities available for fitness and relaxation, all superb.
Above and beyond were the incredible expeditions team and ...
