Sail Date: Oct 2018

We saw it in a newspaper as BOGOF offer. This was not correct. By the time we had paid extra for the all inclusive element it ended up costing as much as going to the caribbean. Guests on our dinner table had paid far less.

This ship is very old (over 50 years) and it shows. The cabin window rattled all the time.

The cabin was ok, beds comfortable, bathroom acceptable. The food on board was very good, with good choices available although the dinners really had too much on the plate.

Cabin Review

Cabin Outside

Not a bad size. Comfortable beds, ample storage. TV not good. With all the satellites about, should be better. Bathroom ok, always hot water, shower worked quite well. Cabin Steward excellent, towels changed when required. However, window rattled all the time, turbulance due to weather very unpleasant.

Port Reviews

Kristiansand

We took a walk to the observation tower. Quite steep steps up, would have been a great view if the windows hadn't been misted up.

Tromso

We took a local bus and visited some museums and the cathedral. Nice day out if a bit chilly.

Andalsnes

Very small town, nothing much to see, so we took a local bus to the neighbouring town of Molde. Bus goes around the fjiord, even making a ferry crossing. Very pretty, 1.5 hours in Molde and back again.

Trondheim

Took a local bus and visited the cathedral, Bishop's Palace and folk museum. Good day out although at this time of year not very accessible.

Bergen

Bryggen not as pretty as expected. The funicular railway was good, but as it was pouring with rain and blowing a hoolie, couldn't really go for a walk on the top. One of the dirtiest towns we had been to in Norway.
