Reviews Amazing first cruise.
Amazing first cruise.
I would recommend this cruise to anyone. It was my first time and I done the land of the northern lights. I travelled in a solo junior suite which was amazing. Travelling in a suite you were treated like royalty and everything you needed was catered for. I highly recommend the drinks package, they really do look after you.

Norwegian fjords sailing from Liverpool. This was at the time there was storms and we could not stop at the Shetland islands or 1 of the fjords however the ships crew very quickly adjusted what was on board in terms of entertainment to ensure the increased sea days remained enjoyable. The exceptional staff kept us updated through out.
