Holland America Line Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

We sailed the 14-day Best of Norway itinerary that left July 26 out of Copenhagen and overall we really enjoyed it. The itinerary was terrific and priced very competitively compared to other cruises taking place this summer. Traveling was myself, my husband (both in our 50s) and our 11-year-old daughter. Our sailing was also being sold as two 7-day cruise offerings. It didn't occur to us ...

Overall, our muti-generational family of 6 enjoyed our 14 day Norway cruise from Amsterdam. The Rotterdam ship is new and has lots of nice decor and is laid out well. We used just about every area at some point (except the casino, kids clubs, and game room) and thought they were all great spaces. There was a good variety of activities each night and during the five sea days. There is an indoor and ...

The new Rotterdam ship was lovely. We boarded late due to a gastro problem on board the previous week which required a DEEP cleaning. The special needs people were hard to find. Non existent on disembarking. Wheelchairs NEVER appeared at designated spot& we had to get ourselves off. No help. The entire crew was very pleasant. However in main Dinning room they were extremely slow. 45 min to even ...

OK, right. This is my first ever in depth review of a cruise ship experience. Bit of back-story starting with a bit of a confession. We’re a married couple from London, and admittedly not particularly well-seasoned cruisers. This, on Holland America Line (HAL) is only our third such adventure and the one with most stops / fewest sea days. We love sea days. Our first cruise was a ...

We have chosen this cruise because of the attractive destinations in Norway a country which we both my wife and myself had never visited before. We were fascinated about the landscapes in this country. Specially kind and service oriented was the stateroom staff Sugeng and Albert as well as the service staff in the restaurants. Holland America Line can be more than proud of this staff. The ...

My family of four (all adults) chose the HAL Rotterdam mainly because of the eight day itinerary to see the beauty of the Norwegian Fjords. Also departing & returning to Amsterdam was a bonus as it is both a beautiful and fun city to visit. We have taken 20+ cruises on all the major cruise lines and we have sailed on Holland America before. We had two connecting balcony rooms aft - one deck ...

Cruise was actually two 7-day back-to-back cruises from/to Amsterdam: Week 1 Week 2 Day 1: Amsterdam, Netherlands Day 8: Amsterdam, Netherlands Day 2: At Sea Day 9: At Sea Day 3: Oslo, Norway Day 10: Bergen, Norway Day 4: Kristiansand, Norway Day 11: Geiranger, Norway Day 5: Stravanger, Norway Day 12: ...

My 19 yr old daughter and I were late additions to a large group of family and friends on a cruise from Amsterdam to the Norwegian fjords. This was our first cruise on HAL and our first in this part of the world. We very much enjoyed our spontaneous vacation. Embarkation was simple, our cabins were ready as soon as we boarded. There are no flashy waterslides or shopping atriums etc - two ...

Nieuw Statendam Review, Land of the Midnight Sun, Departure on 7/7/19 For a little bit of background, we are mid-40’s cruisers that have sailed on Royal Caribbean, Celebrity & Disney with almost 20 cruises under our belt. This was our first Holland America experience and we chose this cruise due to the itinerary to the Artic Circle. We left a few days early so we could have ...

We are a young Irish couple in our 30s and this was our first cruise. We sailed from Amsterdam and our itinerary consisted of Flåm, Stavanger, Kristiansand and Oslo, with two days at sea. The Konningsdam exceeded our expectations as a ship. It was very luxurious and had some beautiful features - like art pieces, plush carpets and fresh flowers. The service was akin to a 5 star hotel - all of ...
