A nice ship, an interesting area but massively over-promised on wild-life sightings

Having been on three previous Hurtigruten cruises we know that the ship size (small), the provision of interesting lectures instead of Abba tribute bands or similar and the unusual itineraries would suit our interests. After flying to Vancouver for one night the plan was then to be flown to Nome in Alaska and cruise down the Bering Sea and then along the Aleutian Islands and the Inside Passage ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

I chose this cruise after researching small ship cruising that offered opportunities to visit small less visited towns and the areas that the big ships don’t have access to. The cruise has a big emphasis on science with an expedition team led by enthusiastic knowledgeable crew who give passengers the ability and encouragement to submit data, photographs, sightings etc to websites tracking the ...

We really enjoyed the staff and meals, and the extra help the crew supplied due to my sister-in-laws limited mobility. Everyone was friendly and efficient, and the excitement of the expedition team (especially when they were discussing their areas of expertise) was wonderful to watch. The cabins were comfy and well designed, and the ship was new and nice. We appreciated the emphasis on ‘green’ ...

Overall my wife and l found ‘Alaska and British Columbia – Inside Passage, Bears and Aleutian Islands’ 07 July – 25 July 2002 a disappointing experience. What was good:- • The information provided pre cruise was clear and timely • The ship, MS Roald Amundsen, is a perfect platform for exploration • The cabins, or ‘staterooms’ are well equipped and very comfortable • The equipment ...

Information about Us We are a retired professional couple; indeed this was to have been my wife's retirement trip, but it had to be postponed for 2 years. While we had visited parts of North America previously, most of our travelling has been in Europe. This was our 4th cruise, and our 2nd with the company now known as Hurtigruten. Over 25 years ago we had sailed with them on the Norwegian ...

This expeditionary cruise is superb following the most spectacular coastal scenery. The ship is very new and the right size for this type of voyage. Cabins or state rooms (we were on deck 5 ) are very comfortable with a big bed and nice size shower room with underfloor heating - lovely. Particularly liked the lift with a huge screen behind showing scenery from various voyages. There is a running ...

Hurtigruten and the Roald Amundsen far exceeded our expectations. First, the Alaska coast takes your breath away and the ability for the Amundsen to navigate in to excluded fjords and bays was amazing. Second, the Expedition staff ensured a great experience in each situation including zodiac and kayak trips up the glaciers, amid water falls and ice flows. Excursions ranged from trips deep into ...

This cruise was my fourth Hurtigruten experience, the first two having been the traditional Hurtigruten round trip between Bergen and Kirkenes (near the Soviet border) and back. The third was a one-way coastal voyage to Kirkenes in the 1990s followed by a side visit to the Sami people in northern Finland. My wife and I had been attracted to another fjord-type holiday for some time and selected the ...

This was our first expedition cruise with Hurtigruten. The welcome on board was amazing and the staff were all so professional. The food was above excellent and the staff made this trip a very special occasion. Totally impressed and would highly recommend. We can’t wait to go back on board. This was a true adventure and the small boat cruising was incredible. A trip of a lifetime and special ...

Previously very impressed with Hurtigruten, having travelled with them to Antarctica and had an amazing time. I have followed the story of their new ship, the Roald Amundsen, and was looking forward to this expedition cruise, taking a more adventurous Inside Passage route, on this innovative vessel. My husband and I were amongst the first to book, about 18 months ahead. The flight from ...
