"My husband and I, 2 English passengers, had all of our luggage stolen from a Hurtigruten ship after embarking at Bergen for the 12 day round trip. We feel we must highlight the incident and dangers to other current..."Read More
This cruise was chosen because our previous cruises to Norway with P&O had not gone as far north.
Booking direct with Hurtigruten meant that we were covered by their travel arrangements eg charter flight to Bergen from the UK and transfer to the port.
The ship is a working fast ferry that carries goods and post. However, the public areas are furnished to a high quality. The ship stops at ...
The cruise was informal; great food; friendly, attentive & knowledgeable staff; variety of ports & excursions
With less passengers than the larger ships, people could get to know each other and the staff which led to a friendly atmosphere
The food was good quality, with something for everyone (although it did include a lot of fish - but I expect there were vegetarian / meat options if ...
We mainly went to see the Northern Lights. We saw them on a number of occasions, which was great, but they were slightly underwhelming. They were mainly white light / only showing green on very slow exposure photographs.
The ship was comfortable, the crew and food were excellent. Drinks were expensive. £15 for a glass of wine, £10 for less than a pint of beer.
The excursion in Tromsø was ...
We got a Valentines offer on the website for the 2nd person to go for £199 and ended up with a room on floor 3 with 2 portholes and twin beds.
The cabin was cosy and a bit noisy at night when the ship stopped, but with earplugs in we got used to this quickly and it kind of added to the experience.
We were very lucky with weather and it was sunny and warm with calm seas almost the entire ...
I choose this cruise as it was apart of a bigger tour that I was on, the boat itself is pretty much as I expected from what I read and all the information I had received prior.
I am not actually a cruise person I do not enjoy the big boats as I feel you never have enough time on land to experience the country you are in.
This cruise however was more for the scenery hence why I decided to ...
My mom and I very much enjoyed our Norwegian Coastal Voyage on Hurtigruten's MS Nordkapp during the winter months. The experience was relaxing and scenic - given the winter weather - the food was very good, and the staff was friendly. In writing this review, I'm mindful of shaping expectations for anyone interested in Hurtigruten's Norway Coastal Voyages, since I had a hard time finding the kind ...
ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
The ship, the crew and the service they provided and food were ALL fantastic. Impossible to overstate the quality of the crew, in particular the hotel, catering and restaurant staff. Well done to Jan Erik and the head chef. Special dietary requirements were taken in the stride. All staff we met were fluent in English and apparently in German too.
When I was told this ...
A great trip for geographer - fjords, northern most point in mainland Europe, crossing the arctic circle and northern lights.
Great ship, i was in one of the non-refurbished rooms but that wasn't an issue, they were all clean and well cared for. i liked being able to not have it cleaned and the money going to the Hurtigruten foundation for conservation work.
Food was great, plenty of it ...
