escott74 Posted January 8, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 8, 2018 (edited) Both are 14 day cruises. The HAL Koningsdam is a much newer boat than the Sapphire Princess, but are they comparable in regards to quality of decor, food quality, production shows, etc? We are two 40-somethings and two 70-somethings. No children with us. Any help would be greatly appreciated! As for ports of call, they both go to Bergen, Geiranger, Stavanger, and Honningsvag, but after that here are the differences. Which has a better collection of ports?

need2cruisesoon Posted January 8, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Isn't Flam the best port of call in Norway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 8, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I would go with Princess because of the ports. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted January 9, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I would go with Princess because of the wrap around promenade deck, covered, particularly at the bow. Lots more space for people to watch the scenery go by. And since it is covered fore and aft, if it rains...Which it often does... Hellesylt is not usually a port stop. It is a pause to tender in passengers who are taking an excursion overland to Geiranger. EM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
