I saw an article offering no single supplement on this Hurtigruten cruise (11.11.17) and investigated it. Sounded good, so I booked it.

Flew from Sydney to Bergen - warm weather to icy chill!

Dinner on the first night was buffet style, but after that each night - bar one - it was a set three course meal - no choices.

Cabin Review

Cabin outside double

I went single and there was plenty of room, however it would have been a little tight for two. The wardrobe has those stupid hangers that have to be unhooked to use, and they are front on to the door, not sideways and that makes them harder to use.

The shower was excellent, hot and good pressure, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner supplied as well as an old style hairdryer with not much "b;ow"
