Hurtigruten Family Cruises Reviews

Service in restaurant: Could be poor. Twice I sat down by a window. The table was empty. I cleared the crumbs as there was no one around. Great views of the scenery and that is why I came on the cruise. I got told off b two waiters that the table was not accessible because had not been cleared. This was not service to me. Cooked food did not look appetizing to me, not hot. I ...

We went to try and see the northern lights which luckily for us did make an appearance on at least 2 nights of our trip. Embarkation and disembarking work really well especially embarkation. The expedition team on board were fantastic. Bjørn, Robin and Caterina worked well together and Caterina is very knowledgeable, the Norwegian way times were informative interesting and amusing with Bjørn and ...

Chose this due to fantastic marketing by Hurtigruten but the reality does not live up to the marketing. The Norwegian coast is not how it's portrayed in promotional material and the towns are not quaint fishing village types but industrial towns. Not very attractive. The food was OK and varied choices buffet style for breakfast and lunch. Set dinner served most nights, portion size small. Buffet ...

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 ...

I have always wanted to see the Norwegian Fjords but this line gives you a journey where you are immersed in them as well as the remote and wild nature western Norway the entire trip. Hurtigruten has been servicing western Norway since the 1800’s. The ship never stops more than a couple of hours and often only 15 minutes to transfer freight and autos at remote towns along the coast. Each stop is ...

My wife and I chose this cruise (Bergen to Kirkenes, Sept 2018) as there really isn't any other total Coastal cruise. It was suppose to be her dream cruise, as she is of Norwegian heritage. First, the best fjords are in the Bergen area, and do not require a Hurtigruten cruise. You can take a nice fjord day cruise (Sognefjord) as part of the Norway-in-a Nutshell (Oslo to Bergen, Flam train and ...

The staff of the MS Nordnorge really made the difference from literally the moment we embarked; from the reception team to housekeeping, from the captain to the maintenance crew - all amazingly friendly, helpful, polite, even funny - do I need go on? The stunning beauty of the dramatic Norwegian landscapes and fjords is absolutely breathtaking (especially Trollfjord), and the expedition ...

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. ...

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 ...
