Alaska and Unalaska - by an Inner Unalaskan
"too late of course for someone with back pain to learn that to experience its rapid "caterpillar motion" would be to risk further damage: and agonisingly and ultimately disappointingly, for my wife to have to accept that she wouldn't be seeing a bear on the trip after all, as promised
(the trip to see them at Anan, albeit at an extra cost of EUR 499 per person, was already sold out to the first 16 people to board, if not before they boarded: certainly we couldn't book an excursion in advance.Our Sheraton experience (above) had dampened down our expectations of Hurtigruten's fare; but on board ship this was far superior, especially for those of us who like eating fish (herring, halibut, salmon)...."Read More

Overall my wife and l found ‘Alaska and British Columbia – Inside Passage, Bears and Aleutian Islands’ 07 July – 25 July 2002 a disappointing experience.
What was good:-
• The information provided pre cruise was clear and timely
• The ship, MS Roald Amundsen, is a perfect platform for exploration
• The cabins, or ‘staterooms’ are well equipped and very comfortable
• The equipment ...

Information about Us
We are a retired professional couple; indeed this was to have been my wife's retirement trip, but it had to be postponed for 2 years. While we had visited parts of North America previously, most of our travelling has been in Europe. This was our 4th cruise, and our 2nd with the company now known as Hurtigruten. Over 25 years ago we had sailed with them on the Norwegian ...

This expeditionary cruise is superb following the most spectacular coastal scenery. The ship is very new and the right size for this type of voyage. Cabins or state rooms (we were on deck 5 ) are very comfortable with a big bed and nice size shower room with underfloor heating - lovely. Particularly liked the lift with a huge screen behind showing scenery from various voyages. There is a running ...

Hurtigruten and the Roald Amundsen far exceeded our expectations. First, the Alaska coast takes your breath away and the ability for the Amundsen to navigate in to excluded fjords and bays was amazing. Second, the Expedition staff ensured a great experience in each situation including zodiac and kayak trips up the glaciers, amid water falls and ice flows. Excursions ranged from trips deep into ...

This was our first expedition cruise with Hurtigruten. The welcome on board was amazing and the staff were all so professional. The food was above excellent and the staff made this trip a very special occasion. Totally impressed and would highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back on board. This was a true adventure and the small boat cruising was incredible. A trip of a lifetime and special ...

This cruise was my fourth Hurtigruten experience, the first two having been the traditional Hurtigruten round trip between Bergen and Kirkenes (near the Soviet border) and back. The third was a one-way coastal voyage to Kirkenes in the 1990s followed by a side visit to the Sami people in northern Finland. My wife and I had been attracted to another fjord-type holiday for some time and selected the ...

Most cruise ship companies offer Alaska cruises to Sitka, Ketchikan, Icy Strait Point and Hubbard Glacier but when I saw the itinerary of the Roald Amundsen and nice staterooms, and public areas, I was hooked. It had a starting point in Nome, with stops at St. Paul, St. Matthew Island in the Bering Sea as well as Dutch Harbor and Unga Village in the Aleutian Island chain. Except for Dutch Harbor, ...

Previously very impressed with Hurtigruten, having travelled with them to Antarctica and had an amazing time. I have followed the story of their new ship, the Roald Amundsen, and was looking forward to this expedition cruise, taking a more adventurous Inside Passage route, on this innovative vessel. My husband and I were amongst the first to book, about 18 months ahead.
The flight from ...

The airteam, at that time based out of Estonia, failed to consider the inadequate ground time necessary for our SEATAC to Vancouver flight connection and consequently had to change our reservations too late to get seats together. We are glad that Seattle office is now handling air reservations.
Air North at Vancouver airport was in no way equipped to handle Hurtigruten's number of passengers. ...
