Review summary
Absolutely amazing cruise on a really nice ship and incredible itinerary, already looking at our next Fjord cruise for next year, highly recommended and unbeatable value for money.Embarkation
Would be 5 stars as I know this is normally a quick and easy process but this time it took nearly 3 hours due to covid procedures.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
All food at the normal restaurants was good and the food at the extra cost restaurants was incredible, especially at sindhu, epicurean and the limelight club.
Onboard Activities
Entertainment
Most of the shows and entertainment were good, the entertainment at the limelight club (Lee mead) was amazing.
The illusion show at headliners was really poor, with outdated 'tricks' and other illusions clearly obvious as to how they were being done.

Ship Quality
Cabin / Stateroom
We had an inside cabin on deck 15, it was very clean and tidy, only down side was the size, next time we'd pay for a bigger cabin
Ports of call
Really nice place, we done the excursion up the briksdal glacier which was amazing, also heard from other guests that the cable cart excursion is well worth it.

Our last port of call, we done a tour of the viking village in Avaldsnes, highly recommended, very informative and gives good accounts of viking history in Norway, really well put together group of viking era buildings too.
Probably our favourite stop, we done the fjord cruise which was out of this world, then we climbed the 418 steps up to the observation point looking out over the whole town. We then made our way back down and strolled around the town center.
