Suitability

Nature lovers who are independent and who would hate the idea of being on a loud, brash, modern superliner would love this experience.

Hints & Tips

The ship operates a no tipping policy.
Alcohol is expensive, but it is possible to bring your own on board.
Bring your own toiletries, such as shampoo etc, as they are not supplied.
Pack layers, a waterproof jacket and walking boots.
Don’t get caught out: in some places, the ship stops only long enough to pick up or unload, while others give you time to go ashore. This is a remote part of the world, so you don’t want to get left behind!
A popular excursion is to the mountain overlooking Tromso, to see the midnight sun.
Passengers who have sailed with Norwegian Coastal Voyages, suggest staying over in Bergen for a few days before or after. Others suggest taking the scenic train from Bergen to Oslo.
There are discounts on some sailings for OAPs and group bookings.
