Review summary

This was a fantastic trip! Norway is beautiful and the ship and it's crew could not have been better - always willing to help. The weather was ok - some rain, some sun and some rough seas but it made the trip that much more exciting - navigating the stops with inclement weather and talking to the locals while doing so. The fjords are everything everyone says they are - there is nothing like it.

The cabin was well organized and plenty of storage space. The bed was quite comfortable
