London (Greenwich, Tower Bridge, Tilbury) to Norwegian Fjords Cruise Reviews

My first cruise on Ambience was her maiden cruise, in the wake of the pandemic. Well, I'm back 14 months later. It is great to have a new British cruise line, offering a no-fly, traditional experience, from Tilbury again. Ambassador makes it clear that they are NOT ‘Cruise & Maritime Voyages’, never the less, Ambassador still attract hundreds of CMV fans. Ambassador potentially have a very ...

Eight of us took a week away to celebrate two 60th birthdays in the Norwegian fjords. My wife and I have cruised before so we had an idea what to expect. Embarkation was very smooth and well organised. We arrived in a taxi, the boot was opened, porters took our luggage and took it to our cabin while we checked in and went straight to the bar. A very slick operation. The boat is old and dated but ...

First cruise post Covid and first with Ambassador. An absolute joy Ambassador have certainly got things right, from brilliant guest speakers to excellent food, but the highlight was the outstanding evening entertainment. Ports of call Eidfjord stunning scenery a a lovely trip to a cider brewery. Flam and a trip on the famous railway not to be missed. Bergen pretty and nice shops but strangely ...

We chose tis cruise because going to the Norwegian fjords was on my wife's bucket list. Viking did not give us good directions on how to find the exact location for check in in Greenwich, UK. After check in, Viking made us stand in the line in the sun for a long time to board a tender to the ship docked in the River Thames; that was awful. Once on board, the crew were friendly and helpful. Our ...

We picked this trip to see the Northern Lights and Norway in winter, to remind me of growing up in the snow! The crew - ALL OF THEM - are amazing, unfailing nice, and make this cruise a really wonderful time. They read and respond to your comments on a daily basis so if you need something they really do take it into account. Seriously, cannot day enough good things about all the crew. Even the ...

Seeing the Northern Lights was on our bucket list. This was the first cruise we noticed that offered that opportunity. We have sailed Viking before so we were aware of the restaurants, food, etc. so we snapped at the chance and signed up. Obviously, sailing the north Atlantic in JANUARY is probably not the smartest thing to do if you get sea sick easily, and there are no guarantees that the ...

We hoped to see the Northern Lights as well as visit the Norwegian coast. The cruise which was one of the first by Viking on this route had some difficulties with the excursions, but expect these will be corrected in the future. The Northern Lights were not very good during our trip, but that is not Viking's fault. The sky is only twilight from 9 to 3 in January, so it is important to plan your ...

We chose the cruise for the total Norwegian itinerary and were not disappointed particularly as the weather was perfect throughout. The facilities on board were excellent but the management of the Pool deck re opening time for a pre breakfast swim were appalling with complaints from many clients being ignored by senior officers. Food was variable dependent on restaurant visited.MDR was the ...

We had a mid ship DELUXE VERANDA....I was expecting a better cabin. THE VIKING SEA has a major shortage of storage space in the cabins. They know about it and have done nothing...What could be done? Hutches on the desk, a small chest of drawers in the closet, replace night stands with real shelf space. SCHEDULING OF MAJOR ACTIVIES and DINING: 6:30 -7:15 pm is the guest lecturer in the ...

We were on the London to Bergen cruise with a side to Oslo. The Viking Sky is a beautiful ship with a friendly crew. Food is very good and the entertainment was wonderful! But we have been spoiled by Viking river cruises and the ocean cruise did not meet the standard set by the river cruises. Maybe its just that handling 200 people is a lot easier than handling 1000, but they did just not have ...
