Hurtigruten Cruise Reviews

I chose this cruise as i wished to see first hand the northern lights. They appeared on two nights and the captain alerted your cabin immediately. I had recommendation from people who had completed the coastal voyage on post ships. This cruise was definitely an “expedition” you need to be fit to attempt the hiking programmes and be aware of what it may be like to kayak and paddle board in ...

Never been to Norway before. HURTIGRUTEN is an excellent company that got great reviews that I now endorse that. At a difficult ( Covid) time, they were well organised both on and off board the ship. They had excellent staff members who no matter what their job was performed it cheerfully and professionally without exception. Nothing on any trip goes exactly to plan, but, any hiccups were dealt ...

We wanted to get to know the coast of the country of Norway and something about the people. A trip on one of these famous mail boats has always been our dream. The dream began at the airport, with the personal pick-up and ended at the end of the trip with the supervised drive to the airport. We learned a lot from the supervised excursions and the daily excellent lectures on the sections ...

Long wanting to travel to the Antarctic and with previous experience of Hurtigruten- it was a no-brainer! Staff were fantastic and very genuine. All seemed committed to ensuring our maximum safety and enjoyment. Even the engineering staff (who we rarely saw) were friendly and often remembered our names! Food onboard was fantastic and with wine and beer included what’s not to ...

We had wanted to go to Antarctica for years and after 42 years of childcare (our own 5 boys plus 59 foster childre), it was time to celebrate and just be the two of us! The cruise was a fantastic treat in every way. It was a huge adventure each day, exploring new places we had only dreamed about. The food was outstanding and varied, especially considering we were in the Antarctic! The ...

My first cruise and not disappointed. Firstly, i need to say the destination was amazing and the purpose of my cruise. The staff knowledable, friendly, helpful and fun. There was a full and varied variety of excursions (weather and covid restrictions permitting) The food was was local, fresh and beautifully cooked, presented and served. The cabin was on the small side but were clean and ...

Took Hurtigruten's MS Roald Amundsen to do an Antarctica cruise and could not have enjoyed the trip more. Let's do Pros, Cons, and It Is What It Is, shall we? PROS: 1) Our captain was brilliant; he threw the itinerary out the window and just worked with what the weather gave us instead of trying to meet some arbitrary calendar appointment. Because of that, we were able to have the best ...

this was a once in a lifetime cruise to parts of the Word I doubt I will ever see again. the Covid situation ruined it if I had known how Hurtigruten were going to react I would not have gone i do feel a waste of time and money. the explanation and communication is very poor , the staff not all were very new and inexperienced. a main driver for me was the Falklands , we did not get there, ...

Antarctica had been on our list of places to visit for several years and after a Norwegian coastal cruise with Hurtigruten, their Antarctica itinerary was clearly the way to go. There were a few issues around Covid but some of them worked to our advantage: there were fewer people on board and their precautions helped make everyone feel at ease; on the other hand, in-person activities on board were ...

We really wanted to experience the Arctic Circle and hopefully the Northern Lights and this cruise delivered in spades! The ship is small compared to others we have been on but the standards on board are exemplary. The cabin whilst on the small side (Polar Outside) was big enough with everything we needed, the cleanliness was superb and the shower was the best we have had on any ship. All the ...
