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 environment, nothing is too far away and the layout easy to remember. The large upper deck is brilliant for watching the northern lights. The restaurants and food on offer is outstanding as our expanded waistlines will attest. The main restaurant serves buffet breakfast and Lund with full table service on almost all the evening meals. The expedition team and the ship’s crew are all very friendly and helpful, In all the cruise, the crew and the experience exceeded our expectations and we had a fantastic time.
