Our cruise only had about 300 passengers. The entire crew was fantastic! The expedition crew ensured we had as many outings as possible, and our several days we had landings and zodiac cruises. We had terrific weather up until the last landing. They issue boots and you get a complimentary jacket. Hiking poles in different heights are also provided. Food was delicious in the Aune restaurant and ...
We wanted a different experience and we got it !
Vessel completely fulfilled our expectations, from the accommodation, food and safety on board to the pre and post cruise arrangements.
Hurtigruten did well in organising our flights and hotel accommodation in Buenos Aires before and after the Cruise.
Nothing much to say about Antartica, this is a whole new and different planet, nature ...
My Mum and I choose this cruise to celebrate her 60th Birthday. We choose Hurtigruten because of their long experience in polar sailing and because of their science program. Antarctica itself was a magical experience but we left regretting our choice of cruise line. Hurtigruten markets itself as luxury for a reasonable price, but make no mistake- they are a budget cruise line with a budget product ...
About us: couple in mid 60's well travelled not always on cruise ships. We have no loyalty to any cruise line and our sole driver is destination, mainly wildlife and scenery.
Since visiting a travel show around 4 years ago Antarctica was on our bucket list. Eventually chose Hurtigruten and Roald Amundsen as we thought the price was reasonable and it included the Falklands. Booked as a package ...
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 ...
Antarctica was a bucket list destination for my husband: not so much for me. So, I decided that if I was going to give in and go to Antarctica it would be in a suite, being spoilt. Hurtigruten delivered in spades. We had a spa suite at the back of the boat on deck 8. From start to finish service was excellent, food was fantastic, expedition crew were so accommodating and skilled. Kayaking in the ...
We were on the Fridtjof Nansen Antarctic Circle Expedition from February 7 to 23, 2023. The ship usually carries 500 passengers, but there were fewer than 300 people on our trip. The cruise included one night in Buenos Aires before taking a charter flight to Ushuaia. They tell you that you are allowed a checked bag weighing 50 pounds and a carry on weighing 17 pounds. They did not weight our ...
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 thoroughly impressed with Hurtigruten from start to finish. I booked a full package so everything from flights, transfers and hotels was included. This meant for a stress-free start to the trip as someone was waiting at the airport to collect about ten of us and take us to the hotel in Buenos Aires. To make things easy, I travelled with one one medium sized case, and I was glad of this. I ...
We chose this cruise because my husband got a nice discount being a United Airlines employee. We had never been on a cruise before. It’s pretty much the only way to experience Antarctica so we pulled the trigger - Antarctica was on our bucket list. Great expeditions, attentive staff and fabulous food.
We were pleasantly surprised with how nice everything was. We had always thought cruises ...
