Reviews Seriously......The Best!
Seriously......The Best!
My wife had been hankering after this particular cruise for some years. The advertising brochure stated that the Coastal Express journey along the coast of Norway was: "The World's Most Beautiful Voyage." "Yeah!" I thought, "that's just over-stated marketing hype." How wrong was I? it was truly sublime! The food was very varied and tasty. The on-board briefings and lectures were well-researched and highly informative. The scenery was absolutely unparalleled. The air was clean, clear and invigorating. We met some fascinating fellow travellers. Although I'm sure there were some criticisms to be made, I couldn't think of any.

Hurtigruten MS Nordkapp
Reviews Fantastic food, staff and scenery
Fantastic food, staff and scenery
Boarding was slightly trying as there was a long queue however after that, it was an amazing trip. The facilities were excellent with a choice of restaurants , although we stayed in the main included one, because the food at every meal was absolutely first class. With a coeliac in the party there was pre-voyage concern, but the staff were very aware, careful about cross contamination and everything was labelled with allergens so it was easy to pick suitable things. There was always lots to eat! At breakfast there was an area with a separate toaster, cereals and bread for coeliacs. The service could not have been better, the staff were exceptionally pleasant and helpful. Trips ashore were well organised and there were interesting talks each day on the ports, wildlife and sights where we were going next. Weather curtailed the trip as we were stuck in Tromso, but Hurtigruten organised flights to take us up to Kirkenes as we were flying back from there. We did get to go up to the Russian border. We took the six day from Bergen to Kirkenes. Altogether one of the best trips we have taken.
