Review summary

Great fjord cruise that visited the most northerly land mass, regularly saw whales swimming at the side of the ship, 24hr daylight, Aldo in Henry's pub is a must, Norweigan still has the best drinks package, I counted 18 beers and at least 22 different wines available

4 out of 5
About a mile walk into the town, we did the panoramic tour, it was OK, but if I went again would just get a taxi

Hammerfest, Norway

4 out of 5

Honningsvag, Norway

4 out of 5
If you want to visit North cape, go to the Tourist information office, directly outside the berth, 450k to North Cape 700 with admission, around 60% of the price on board

Geiranger, Norway

4 out of 5
Great views going in and coming out, There is a hop on hop off bus for 350k or a panoramic bus for 300k in town

Flaam, Norway

4 out of 5
The best excursion is the train, but $179 on board, book before you go direct 420k (around £35) There is a fjord ferry trip of 3 hours available, In town there is a nice train museum ( free entrance)but not a lot else

Haugesund

4 out of 5
Free shuttle into the centre, easy to walk around, good tourist information office, No excursion

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We stayed on until 8.45 as our car would'nt be available until 9, as usual, most people were called 15 minutes early
