Review for a Arctic Cruise on Balmoral

10+ Cruises • Age 60s
Booked this cruise over a year ago to go in search of the northern lights. Relocation cruise prior to ours was cancelled due to an outbreak of gastrointestinal cases. This meant some hygiene restrictions were still in place for first few days. This did lead to some inconvenience and slow service. Some toilets were closed. After three days the restrictions were lifted and everything got back to ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Norwegian Star

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary, sailing dates, and to use a 20% discount certificate that was issued by NCL due to canceling the Epic's winter Mediterranean sailings. The terms were rather restrictive and this sailing qualified. We booked about 3 months ahead, so we were within the final payment date and could only use one CruiseNext certificate. NCL would not budge on this, despite ...

This was a great chance to experience Iceland and Greenland while trying out the new cruise line Explora Journeys. We amazingly arrived in every scheduled port during a period where bad weather was not experienced but was right around the corner. We used the ships excursions for all ports except those in Iceland. The Iceland excursions, called experiences, were extremely expensive (in the range ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Quark Ultramarine

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s
We wanted to see Western Greenland, go through the Northwest Passage and also see Baffin Island as well as see the Arctic wildlife. Sadly, we didn't get to go anywhere near Arctic Bay on Baffin Island and missed a few other stops possibly because of conditions. We have previously seen Polar Bears up close but we have never seen Musk-Ox or Walrus so we were disappointed we didn't see any and also ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary. Booked 25 months prior to sailing. Went with another couple.
Chose to include NCL air, which was a savings. Tried to tell them we need a long layover between our home airport and the international flight due to weather issues causing air delays in northeast. NCL said no special requests. At departure day, a delay due to weather would cause ...

The only ship of this capability and what an opportunity so we had to take advantage of it. The following describes the actual experience we had.
Flight from Paris
We were offered the opportunity to pay to upgrade to business class and accepted it, the flight was supposed to leave at 10 a.m. but we did not leave the terminal, on a bus, to the plane until after 10:05. We had to carry ...

We were a family of 4 (husband and I in a midship club balcony suite and my 86-year-old mother-in-law and young sister-in-law a little further along the corridor in adjoining forward club balconies). We had three nights in Tromso pre cruise at the Clarion Collection With hotel – we have stayed here before for four nights in early 2020 in a quest to see the Northern lights and it is warm and ...

For perspective, this was my first time cruising on Norwegian, and I have cruised previously on Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Carnival. My husband and I found a fantastic last minute deal on the Norwegian Star for a Norway/Iceland cruise during Aug./Sept. 2023. Given the low price we paid, and given my incoming lower image of Norwegian, I was very pleasantly surprised overall at the ...

Review for a Arctic Cruise on Viking Star
FrogH
10+ Cruises • Age 80s
I have long wanted to visit Iceland. The itinerary was outstanding. Captain Olav was very accessible and friendly. Having sailed with Viking, I had very high expectations and encouraged another couple to cruise with me. Having high expectations, Viking did not exceed my expectations. The dining offerings were not as superior as my last Viking cruise. Some of the meat was tough and difficult ...
