Review summary

We loved visiting a Norway, truly a wonderful experience. Our third Viking trip in 12 months- love the line, but not quite up to our experience on the Sun. That was a tad disappointing for us.

None to speak of, though many lovely spaces for reading and conversation.

The real Arctic! Cold, snowy and the most beautiful starry night that you’ve ever seen!

Narvik

Small port, closed upon Sunday, but beautiful trekking country.

Bergen, Norway

4 out of 5
Arrived 9 hours late so it was closed up. We took a midnight stroll, enjoyed the lights, the shop windows and the stars in the sky.

Disembarkation

We walked off with our luggage and headed to the airport- super easy!
