Judy795 Posted September 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I will be on the HAL Rotterdam in June 2024, going up the coast of Norway to the North Cape. Is it possible to view birds flying or to see whales from the ship while it is moving? I am a photographer and trying to decide to bring a longer lens on the trip. Thanks.

hallasm Posted September 2, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I myself have seen sea eagles from the ship and whales should be possible too. You do not mention which ports of Call, but there may be several options for excursions to bird falls. When you come to the North Cape, it should also be possible to visit tGjesværstappan bird reserve from Honningsvåg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon-t Posted September 20, 2023 #4 Share Posted September 20, 2023 It is possible to see whales from the ship, but you do need to know what you are looking for. The best way to locate whales is usually the "blow" when they surface. We also saw a group of humpback whales from the cliffs at North Cape when we were there last year, along with lots of seabirds.
