Ship Quality

No problem with cleanliness- but lifts were a nightmare!! Stairs not an option for us this time as we had my Mum with us in a wheelchair!

Cabin / Stateroom

Great cabin- kept very clean at all times- only thing we were disappointed with was the small narrow balcony!

Ship tip

Be prepared for the queuing with the lifts!!

The heavy rain didn't help on that day- but not much to do! We had pre-booked the boat trip down the Lysefjord to see pulpit rock- but it the rain & mist spoiled it a bit! The old town is worth walking through.
