Every moment a delight

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Nordlys

ScandiJohn
First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

This was a "bucket list" item, to see the coastal scenery of Norway. Every day had an almost endless abundance of raw natural beauty, with many jaw dropping moments, whether it was the midnight sun bursting from behind cloudy/moody mountains, majestic views of hundreds of miles of partially snow-clad mountains and fjords, or Orca gently gliding through a bay. The food exceeded all ...

Trip of a lifetime

Review for a Norwegian Fjords Cruise on Nordlys

ValHall51
First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We had seen this cruise advertised in the newspapers quite a lot and knew several people who had been on it. This one is different from other cruises as the ship has a schedule to meet to fulfil its obligations to the Norwegian government. We liked the idea of stopping at ports several times a day (and night!) and seeing lots of different places. We booked through ROLCruise and the price ...

Far below our expectations

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Nordlys

pjeriksson
2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

This Hurtigruten coastal cruise has been on my "bucket list" for 38 years, and now we made it from 16 June to 21 June of 2022. It has always been marketed as something extra, particularly on landscape beauty and food onboard. The landscape did not disappoint us, but everything around the food and restaurants are just worse than bad. Nordlys were lacking 3 chefs on our cruise, but that should not ...

Wonderful trip along a fantastic coastline.

Review for a Europe - British Isles & Western Cruise on Nordlys

Seemaus
First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

Nice and interesting journey. We enjoyed this trip very much. It was a wonderful landscape with interesting harbours and nice people we meet. Lovely little towns and interesting cities where the ship anchored. Sometimes we had prefered the ship would stay longer in harbour so that we could have more sightseeings. We had wounderful weather,made fantastic excursions and had a lot of fun. On board ...

Suffering and no apologize

Review for a Europe - All Cruise on Nordlys

Eleni Nikolaidou
2-5 Cruises • Age 60s

The cruise supposed to be quick and easy. The service was excellent. The waiters were very polite. Although they took us out from the cabins very soon and we were waiting with the baggages for hours. There was a delay for an hour and a half because the hatch damage. The most important is that when they announced the departure they didn’t apologise for the delay, they didn’t explain why we had the ...
