Dr. Score

So, I just called Hurtigruten for confirmation of the re-fit and was told that they were not currently refurbishing the ship.  We can expect upgrades to some of the public areas, like the science center, and some of the fabrics in the cabins, but nothing like a complete renovation.  The mock-up photos don't apply.   😟

Here's an interesting development.  I emailed Hurtigruten to ask about the renovation. . .that if it was being put off, when would it happen?  They responded that it has yet to be determined.  So I wrote back requesting current photos and they responded:

"At the moment ship is being refurbished, pictures will be available online as soon as all works will be completed."

I checked on the current location of the ship on cruisemapper.com and it showed that it was in Bergen.  Is that where they would be doing the re-fit?

Curious, no?

Thanks Karlth! We'll plan a Golden Circle tour for the long day, and we'll take your walking tour of Reykjavik on our short day. Hoping for good weather late in June. All the best to you this winter!

Kalrth, before we went to Copenhagen I became very familiar with the thread that you mentioned and I'm very grateful to you for starting one up for Iceland. It's been very helpful! :) We will be there for an overnight next June 27th & 28th on the Celebrity Infinity. For the long first day stay I was considering a Golden Circle tour, but I saw that you recommended the South Shore tour when the poster asked which you would favor if you were to only take one tour. Do you think the South Shore tour is a better choice then the Golden Circle? And if so, why?

Thanks!
