Review summary

Great cruise apart from the stormy beginning, the ship was great we prefer the smaller ships. The itinerary was changed and we missed a port due to bad weather but neither spoilt the cruise. The added port of Alesund turned out to be great as we had an excursion cruise on the Hjorundfjord where the scenery was incredible. We had excursion from Tromso to Sommaroy Island which also great.

Walked into town it's uphill and very slippery under foot when we were there, there were taxis at the port.

Tromso, Norway

Did an excursion to Sommaroy Island from Tromso very good with lovely scenery along the way. There was a shuttle bus into Tromso from the ship.
