thank you everyone for your advice. This is all new to me. My friend is in her early 80s and refuses to give up traveling. This will make it much easier for her. Good cruising to you all

thank you so much. This should help a lot

we are sailing on the Constellation next week in a Retreat suite. My friend has mobility issues, although she can walk. Can anyone tell me how much walking is involved in the terminal? If she needs it, are there wheelchairs available at the terminal? Thank you for your help

loved your review. thank you so much for the pictures, too. We are sailing on the Connie 1/12. My question, how much walking is involved to get to the Retreat Check In and onto the ship. My friend has mobility issues and if it is too long a walk, she may want to request to use a wheelchair. Again, thank you so much for your excellent post

we did a northern lights on the Victoria last year in early October. The weather was rather chilly. I am from Connecticut and it was about like late November /early December weather in the Northeast. We did a rib boat tour in Tromso and in spite of all the waterproof gear (we looked like Michelin Men) some people on the tour were freezing. On an overland train trip from Narvik to the interior, we had a snow squall. This was my fifth cruise to Norway and I love the country; it was the first i did in the fall/winter. We did not really see much of the northern light (if any, I'm not sure what I was actually the lights). This may have been because we were early in the season (Oct), I picked it over the Mary's trip in early November so we would have more daylight for sightseeing. If this is your first time to the North of Norway, I would suggest that you go in early summer when the flowers are bloom and the days are sooooo very long. Yes, you have to go all the way up, preferably to North Cape, but definitely at least as far as Tromso. Love the Lyngen Alps, which you pass if you sail north out of Tromso. If you have a chance to go to Spitzbergen, that is also amazing. Hope you enjoy Norway
