Hurtigruten Cruise Reviews

This was not just a cruise. It was an experience, and it met or exceeded our expectations. We have taken cruises before and always enjoyed them. Although we enjoyed this cruise too, it was more about seeing and exploring the wonders of the White Continent. The word "expedition" feels accurate. It was more adventurous than other cruises, and in that respect, it certainly met our ...

Cruise to Antarctica - every day was exceptional, every next day seemed even better. From embarkation to departure, all the staff were committed to ensuring a positive and enjoyable experience. The quality of the modern ship, the excellence of the cabin and the food, the facilities available for fitness and relaxation, all superb. Above and beyond were the incredible expeditions team and ...

After doing much research, I chose Hurtigruten for our expedition cruise to Antarctica for two main reasons: I am impressed by their commitment to sustainability AND for such a strong emphasis on science. I heard about Hurtigruten when the famous biologist, Jerry Coyne wrote of his experience on the Amundsen lecturing on biology! From booking to disembarking, everyone who works for Hurtigruten ...

I have to start this review with a fond farewell to Buenos Aires, as the cruise package started from there. We came in early and were in BA the day Argentina won the World Cup, so there was joyful celebrating throughout the city which kicked off a wonderful next 2 1/2 weeks. However... it meant that, two days later, we had to leave our hotel at 1:30 AM in a vain attempt to avoid airport traffic to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Compliments: -Boat is exceptional, it was built by Rolls-Royce so quality is premium -Food is quality if repetitive -Expeditions are enjoyable and good exercise -All the penguins you could hope for. We also saw whales, dolphins and seals. Some of my critiques: -More boat entertainment for guests. No comedians, (dedicated) bands, any dancing, movie lounges, nothing. It's a got a ...

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 ...

We chose the ultimate winter expedition for the number of days and stops in the cruise up the Norwegian coast, and also for the Northern Lights promise. The ship is perfect for visiting the fjords annd sails through some epic scenery that larger cruise ships could not access. The ship is maintained in excellent and very clean condition it’s smaller size also made for a more relaxing and friendly ...
