Hurtigruten Fridtjof Nansen Cruise Reviews

We chose hurtigruten cruise because of the destination - Iceland, and past experience with Norwegian coastal voyage. Unfortunately, while the ship is great, our outside cabin is specious with lots of storage, the human component is the Disaster! Starting with the ship docking in the different port from what we have been advised by hurtigruten. Hurtigruten made no attempt to contact anyone ...

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 ...

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 ...

My travel agent suggested this cruise line for me and my niece and I was frankly hesitant. I had seen mainly good reviews, but I am not a good sailor and was hesitant to cross the Drake Passage. This was only my second cruise and I void after the first to never sail again. I say this whole heartedly - I would not have missed this adventure for anything. The crew - both hotel and excursion were ...

Antarctica is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and the Expedition staff on Fridtjof Nansen made our dreams come true! The expertise of the team and the pride and professionalism of the entire crew really made this cruise special. It was clear the staff really love what they do and it made the whole trip better than any cruise we've experienced previously. The communication on-board, given the ...

We sailed with Hurtigruten for our Antarctica trip, and it couldn't have been better. The ship is beautiful and well designed with sustainability in mind. The crew is very passionate about what they do, and each member of the crew was helpful and friendly. During our cruise, we had almost 400 pax on board, but at no point did any part of the ship feel overcrowded. The landings and excursions are ...

Excellent services and cabins across the board. Best part is that you are at Antartica, nevertheless a good ship experience after a long day exploring makes all the difference. Excursions are well thought out, since it is a large ship good coordination is needed. Restaurants are great with different options of fanciness available. The removal of single use plastic was also good, makes you ...

My husband and I REALLY enjoyed our cruise with Hurtigruten. The staff, the expeditions, the ship amenities and the safety protocols are exceptional. Food: There are three restaurants to choose from while on the ship. The food menu is diverse and flavorful. Expeditions: The expeditions are well planned out offering amazing experiences while keeping you safe. Staff: The staff our ...

The price and ship quality were great. The cruise was very well managed and the expeditions (and expedition staff) were stellar. I did have a theft incident onboard from my bags when the ship was loaded and hurtigruten did little to either investigate or follow up on the report. I had 2 crew members tell me about how they were underpaid in a bid to obtain higher tips, but this also left me with ...

I have dreamed of going to Antarctica ever since I was a child; this trip helped me complete my goal of visiting all seven continents and I was extremely happy with the tour group I used to book the trip (Gate!). The ship itself was wonderful, brand-new and I was thrilled with my cabin as well. Even though I had not requested a balcony cabin, I was given one (and it came in very handy when I ...
