Arctic Singles Cruises Reviews

This was our fourth NCL cruise, but the first for quite a while preferring Celebrity and RCL but this itinerary included many of our “bucket list” ports, including Reykjavik and Lerwick (Shetland). It is very obvious that they are understaffed, and undertrained. The front-line help is courteous enough but not prepared or allowed to problem solve. There is lack of communication between ...

We wanted to go to Iceland and Norwegian fiords back before Covid and booked 2 cruises on different ships because they were among the only lines going to that area. One month before departure, Covid stuck and the world stood still for travel. 4 and a half years later and several ship changes, port changes and itineraries, we finally sailed on Preziosa for back to back cruises to Iceland and ...

Our cruise started off in Reykjavik, Iceland. Much of the info regarding this trip on the internet was wrong. Many writers said that to get from the airport to the center of Reykjavik was difficult. That was wrong. There are buses exclusively for transportation from the airport to the city center at approximately $30 pp. Others said that from the central bus stop to your hotel was an easy walk. ...

This was a very special cruise for us. We were looking forward to it for a long time and actually cancelled another cruise that made two stops in Greenland to do this cruise since it not only stopped in Greenland but also ported in Iceland with three stops around the island. Embarkation was totally unorganized. Just a little communication would have done wonders. Instead, when the large tented ...

Booked this trip for July 2023 because of the great itinerary. The Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful. Cabins were clean and the ship was nice. The excursion desk really bent over backwards to adjust when port calls were cancelled due to weather/sea ice (sucks but no one's fault). Specialty restaurants were quite good particularly Le Bistro. Cons: The complementary food was meh. Norwegian ...

I had a great trip overall. The crew, fellow passengers, and destination made the investment a win The interest free payments also helped, and I thought that was a great option provided by NCL. The ship's crew was friendly, and the solo traveler activities were enjoyable. The atmosphere for solo travelers allowed people of all ages to hang out together organically and have a great time, regardless ...

My spouse and myself cruised around Iceland for a week on the Viking Star. We booked an “Explorers Suite” in the aft section of the ship. This was my seventh cruise but my first with Viking having previously sailed with Cunard, Disney, Carnival and Royal Caribbean. We booked Viking based on its reputation as a premier cruise line. Overall I have to say I was satisfied but underwhelmed. ...

After an amazing half world cruise on QM2 a decade ago, it was a no brainer to choose her again for this journey to the Northern Lights. First impressions were of a tired old ship badly in need of a coat of paint. Our balcony cabin was no better than the outside impression and she is badly in need of a refit. Hallway carpets had holes and the stateroom cheap MDF furniture was falling ...

Two of the ports (Haugesund and Lerwick) were missed due to high winds. But our purpose for the cruise was to visit Iceland, and those ports were great! Food was average and service was great. Arriving without luggage from flight was annoying but the ship tried hard to accommodate our situation. The transition from COVID-intensive to normal cruising is happening slowly and still impacts ...

We selected the cruise because the itinerary met our requirements, and the cruise did meet our expectations in this respect, although a storm kept us out of the scheduled first port of call. Cabin very good, as were the staff on board. Food in general good, although very bland, probably to cater for the majority of guests on board. It did feel that this was an Old Folks Home on holiday, ...
