chmusar Posted May 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I have been on p&o a few times and looking to go on a Norwegian Cruise but I want to go further north and as p&o don't, I am looking at an hurtiguten cruise can anyone tell me the major differences and cost of beverages on-board.

swaddy Posted May 2, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Hurtigruten is not a cruise line, it is a ferry. A very nice ferry . Drinks prices will be in line with Norwegian prices, expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are fewer summer cruises that go to the northern coast of Norway than there used to be which is a shame. Our first cruise went as far north as Svalbard (Spitsbergen) but I think environmental considerations have caused a big reduction in such cruises. Not sure it is suitable for the larger ships either, we went on the Artemis in 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the english lady Posted May 3, 2019 #5 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Fred Olsen do cruises that go way up North. I think we went with them to North Cape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josy1953 Posted May 3, 2019 #6 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We did the "Land of the midnight sun" cruise on Princess and that goes up to Honningsvag and from there you can get excursions to North Cape which we found very interesting. They are still doing the same cruise this year. If you decide to take this cruise and excursion I would advise a warm jacket as it was snowing when we were at North Cape even though it was July, we took sweaters and lightweight waterproof jackets but I would have preferred to be a little warmer.

brian1 Posted May 3, 2019 #7 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I thought everyone goes to the North Cape,P and O and Marella included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruzseeka Posted May 3, 2019 #8 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Going as far north as Honningsvag is very rewarding and we can recommend it - there are some great potential ports of call along the way too eg Lofoten Islands and Tromso. The experience however of going to Tromso in search of the Northern Lights on Arcadia as mentioned is, however a very different experience because of the time of year, cold conditions and snow underfoot.

Warford Lady Posted May 3, 2019 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2019 We are booked on Oriana's final cruise to the North Cape and Svalbard. 18 nights leaving Southampton on 22nd July. I've been to the North Cape before with P & O but I'm very excited about going even further north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the english lady Posted May 4, 2019 #10 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Saga do a cruise more northern next year. we were looking into it, but decided it was too expensive. It was on one of their very very nice new ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
