Hurtigruten Follow the Lights     0 , NSW, Australia, Mar 2024
A fantastic tour by train from Oslo to Bergen, then up the Norwegian coast on a Hurtigruten ferry and down through Finland to Helsinki by coach and train. We understood that the Hurtigruten ferry was a working ship and might not be as comfortable as a cruise ship, but it exceeded our expectations. We had plenty of space in our cabin and the meals were ...read more all great. You get to see so many fascinating little villages as the ship travels north delivering supplies and people and we saw the northern lights from the ferry and then an even better display on land in Finland. One tip for the ferry - for added privacy spend a small bit extra for a cabin high enough to not have a walkway outside your window. The whole trip was brilliantly arranged by Tracey at Global Journeys who also booked our flights for us.
A Spectacular Trip of Norway Fjords & Arctic     9 , NSW, Australia, Oct 2023
We sailed from beautiful Bergen in late Autumn to the north, sailing between coastal islands and up and down the majestic fjords. As we moved north the coming winter started to show, with falling snow as we enjoyed the ship’s hot spa on deck, we also caught the Northern Lights 3 times in a spectacular light show.

The ship with about 300 passengers ...read more is not the large cruising ship that some people may enjoy but a more personable experience from the Hurtigruten team, this is what myself and my wife enjoy. The towns further north were a winter wonderland with dry powdery snow and ice, so if you come at this time remember to pack the warm clothes and invest in some shoe spikes for walking! Overall a wonderful experience and such a memorable experience!
