Bergen Cruise Reviews

We wanted to get to know the coast of the country of Norway and something about the people. A trip on one of these famous mail boats has always been our dream. The dream began at the airport, with the personal pick-up and ended at the end of the trip with the supervised drive to the airport. We learned a lot from the supervised excursions and the daily excellent lectures on the sections ...

My first cruise and not disappointed. Firstly, i need to say the destination was amazing and the purpose of my cruise. The staff knowledable, friendly, helpful and fun. There was a full and varied variety of excursions (weather and covid restrictions permitting) The food was was local, fresh and beautifully cooked, presented and served. The cabin was on the small side but were clean and ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights. There were issues with the weather that meant re-arranging our flights, parts of our trip and changing ships, from the Nord Norge to the Kong Harald. This was all done with great efficiency. On both ships the friendly staff excelled in all areas beyond our expectations. The food was excellent and the ship's were kept immaculately clean. We ...

We wanted to see the Northern Lights and we wanted the lap of luxury that Viking offers. We received both, luckily with the Northern Lights, and gladly and affirmatively with Viking. From the first greetings to the last goodbye they all make you feel like every part of your stay with them matters. The ship is immaculate, which is important to me. The food was excellent, the entertainment is ...

There were plenty of bucket list items to check off on this once-in-a-lifetime cruise: seeing the Northern Lights, going dog sledding and snowmobiling, seeing the ice hotel in Sorrisniva, and going to a Sami camp. This was our first (but not last) ocean cruise on Viking. We chose this cruise for the adventurous excursions and the chance to get off the beaten path in cold and snowy Norway. From the ...

Sailed from Bergen to Narvik, Alta, Tromso, Bodo, Stavanger ending in London. GREAT service, Super COVID Protocols and cleanliness. We have cruised on 10 plus cruise lines and Viking did an outstanding job with excursions, food, service, COVID, and more. Enjoyed the Aurora Borealis from the ship, in Alta and Tromso. Dogsledding was amazing. Beautiful countryside and people. Viking did a ...

The journey with Hurtigruten was really fantastic. From the first moment to departure everything was super organized. The team on the MS Polarlys really deserves a lot of praise! I am amazed by the high standard. The food was very great quality and prepared with a lot of love, the breakfast buffet left nothing to be desired. The shop is also well equipped and you can buy very nice ...

I will start off by Hurtigruten make it very clear in their advertising the coastal voyage is not a cruise, so if you go with that expectation you have not done your homework properly and might be disappointed. If you want to have an authentic adventure, voyage to the Artic and back, learn and experience Norwegian culture and coastal life, see the most wonderful scenery, relax and escape the ...

I wanted to see the Northern Lights and seeing them was enhanced by the staff who provided a first- rate holiday. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The food was delicious and served by enthusiastic staff many of them young people. The excursions were interesting and well organised with guides who provided facts about history and geography of the area Mealtimes were well organised and ...

I live in Sweden, and I was looking for a nothern lights tours. My travel agent was highly recommending Hurtigruten's voyages, and finally, after a couple of cancelations due to pandemic, I went on a sail with MS Kong Harald, from Bergen to Kirkenes and back to Bergen. I booked flights, transfers, full board, coffee/tea, wifi and 6 excursions. And everything went great! The only negative ...
