Additional details
A superb cruise itinerary 13 to 27 March with most time spent up at Troms and Alta.
Lots of superb snow and with good weather Captain Stein Bjrheim guided the ship along a spectacular scenic route in the inner fjords.
The weather was kind with clear sky and we were treated to a most spectacular northern lights display viewable from the deck on departure from Tromso on 20 March.
Cabin Review
Outside Cabin - F
Two beds and enough space beneath to hide away a normal suitcase. (But I had to lift the bed to get our suitcase under the frame.)
Not very much on the TV. The ship's northern fjord locations blocked the satellite view.
Attached shower and WC cubicle. No problems.
Two outside portholes.
The room was too hot until I found how to turn the thermostat down. The air conditioning fan was noisy first night and then I got used to it. There were some interesting creaks from the ship structure when a force 6 wind got up. On a technical note the portholes had a fine large thumbscrew to seal them shut but in this cabin it would not have worked because over the years the flexible rubber seals has been repeatedly painted over and were now too hard to permit the porthole to seal in a closed position.
The cabin adequate and well presented. I am not convinced decontamination from the previous cruise had been done completely. The little fabric handles on the drawer & cupboard openers would be near impossible to fully sanitize.
