Thank you, this is very helpful! I am scheduled on a Hurtigruten voyage in June, and chose them because I also don’t like traditional cruises but want to see the fjord scenery. All of your info is much appreciated!

This was a cruise along the coast of Norway, not to Antarctica. And I’m not Hurtigruten, so you’re criticizing the wrong person. Direct your anger – not with insults but with reasoned argument – at the company, not at me. In their defense, I think they’re one of the most environmentally aware companies visiting Antarctica and they’re definitely ahead of the curve on sustainability as well.

You destructive imbosiles should keep out of the Antrctica ,the likes of your company are destroying the planet with the human footprint on pristine remote areas.i despise your lack of integrity and disregarde for wilderness areas inthe name of making money shame.

In reply to Stratis. This is not a cruise ship and the stops are short. We had about three hours in Trondheim and even less in Tromso. Bergen is the start or end-point of this route, so you can have as much time there as you want. In both Trondheim and Tromso we had enough time to take a walk and see the main sights, but only very quickly. What you might think about doing, if you want more time in either or both cities, is book the trip so that you get off, stay a night, then take the next boat the next day. That would give you 24 hours in each city, or more if you stay more nights. Remember one boat leaves every day going north and one boat leaves every day going south, and Hurtigruten allows you to book this way. Just a suggestion! Have a great trip!

Hi, I wonder if you get only 2 hours in a city is it enough to go offshore, explore a bit the ity and come back, Alasud Tromso ,trondheim and bergen besides 2 fjords my porints of interest . Usually cruise ships stay in a place 6 -7 hours so you do not have a sense of urgency Please advice, We are planning to go end of September

In reply to Lynne Toyofuku. What I meant was that you don't have to travel the whole route: you can book just from Bergen to Tromso. Locals often use the boat for local travel, just getting on for a few stops, for example.

Wonderful and detailed review of the Hurtigruten cruise. You mentioned a 4-day version. I don’t see it on the website; only the 12-day round trip and the North Cruise which is 7 days and South Cruise which is 6 days. Is there a 4-day cruise From Bergen to Tromso? Thanks.

I really enjoyed reading all about this cruise experience. I’ve only been on a couple of other cruises and they were quite different than this one. The scenery looks amazing.
