1-10 of 28 Hurtigruten Nordnorge Cruise Reviews for Family to Norwegian Fjords
Hurtigruten - Cruising Norway’s Coast - msNordNorge
Described as The World’s Most Beautiful Voyage. 4963 km return. 11 days
hurtigruten.com. Norway uses credit cards a lot! I took the equivalent of $200 Cdn and was fine. Insert your credit card into the machine and enter your pin the FIRST time you use your card. Then you’re safe to tap away! Ship only uses your cabin card for payment. ...
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 ...
I chose the cruise as I wanted to see the Northern Lights and the Norwegian landscape during winter. I found the Hurtigruten cruise from an internet search. I appreciate that the Hurtigruten website provides detailed and accurate description of the cruise itinerary and cabin condition. The booking process was also a breeze.
The cruise, as it turned out, was significantly above my expectation. ...
Cruised Norwegian fjords for my wife's 60th birthday.
Everything was most enjoyable except for the cabin quality. We booked together with another couple for a cabin, with porthole/outside view, but may be restricted.We all paid the same price. Hurtigruten would not provide cabin location/quality until we boarded.
Our cabin must have been the worst possible cabin, whilst our friends had a ...
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 ...
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 ...
