We were not sure what to expect. This is a "ferry line" with people, goods and vehicles loading and unloading in every port. Frequent enjoyable stops. Smaller than Cruise ships (only 7 decks) and not as luxurious, but very clean with pleasant environment and excellent service-oriented English Speaking & accommodating staff.
Scenery was incomparable! "Ceremonies" on deck were well done, especially when crossing the Arctic Circle and going into the amazing "Troll Fjord" at Midnight!
Selection, variety and volume of buffet breakfasts and lunches was excellent. Dinners were imaginative, interesting and delicious. Activities were plentiful and informative and funn! Scheduled on shore outings were excellent in organization and entertainment and well run.
