Review summary

Fabulous from beginning to end, apart from the noisy cabin, which didn’t really spoil the cruise. Would definitely cruise again in Norway but do different ports

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation at Southampton was seamless. 20 minutes after arriving by coach we were in our cabin.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Only used the horizon buffet and lido grill. My hubby who is a fussy eater enjoyed all meals served there. Very impressed

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Didn’t use any. Too busy relaxing 😎

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were superb. Always ready to help but never in the way. So helpful and friendly. Jonah our cabin steward was lovely 🥰

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Britannia had just had a refit so had a lovely fresh feel

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was lovely. The only fault was it was the floor above and directly over the Live Lounge and the bass on the 2nd night was so loud the room was vibrating. If you want an early night to go on an excursion, then avoid this cabin

Ship tip

Check where your room is and consider your priorities when choosing ie a good nights sleep

Ports of call

Aurland

5 out of 5
Norway Fjords are so beautiful worth getting up early to sit on the balcony while the ship meanders through

Cruise Sognefjord

5 out of 5

Stavanger, Norway

4 out of 5
Lovely port but we got a little lost

Olden, Norway

5 out of 5
We were lucky with the weather and did a fabulous hike to Briksdal Glacier. So pretty and worth the exercise

Haugesund

5 out of 5
As this is a working port not much to do here but we walked to the monument on the cost. Very bracing

Flam

5 out of 5
We did the Flamsbana and the scenery was beautiful

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Not as smooth as embarking but still off the ship within 40 minutes
