Embarkation and disembarkation was effortless.
Choose this cruise because it went to many ports/countries that I have not been to. Despite the title of this cruise, Voyage of the Vikings, it really did not emphasize the Vikings very much. Some of the ports were not worth going to, e.g. Red Bay, Labrador, Canada, but overall a very enjoyable cruise. I liked that we were never at sea for more than 2 days at a time.
One excursion "A day in Irsh Life" was probably one of the best we have ever taken. It was expensive but really enjoyed our day on the farm. We were not rushed around and could enjoy ourselves in a relaxing venue.
Cabin Review
Vista Suite
Cabin BB
Lack of electrical outlets was annoying, but I have gotten use to that on most ships.
The binoculars provided with the room are very good, better than the ones I brought.
Port Reviews
Bar Harbor
Bar Harbor itself is just a tourist trap, but the Arcadia park is worth seeing. Unfortunately in the summer it is very crowded.
Alesund
Cruise into Alesund through the fjord was nice. Easy walking distance to town. Town has a lot of good architecture.
Eidfjord
Cruise into town was beautiful. Dock right in the town center. Unfortunately not a lot to see in the town.
Rotterdam
Using public transportation made getting around easy. Be sure to see the market, cube houses and the old harbor. All of them are in the same area.
Port Douglas, Australia
Easy walking distance into town. Don;t expect to see Manx cats, unless you go into the country side.
Belfast
Easy walk into town.
Sydney (Nova Scotia)
Took a walking tour around town. No excursion needed.
St. John's (Newfoundland)
Docked right in the city center.
Akureyri
Watch for whales when coming in and leaving.
