Creator's Key Takeaways

We felt really scammed when we left at £600.

It should have been 50 quid, you know, that's that's the figure it should have been, not £150.

We've been putting it in the wrong door for the last 10 minutes.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check excursion details and value before booking.
Verify cabin heating and report issues promptly.

Our Ambassador Trip Was COMPLETELY RUINED By This Excursion! AMBASSADOR AMBIENCE SCAMMED! My £600 Northern Lights Excursion Disaster in Alta, Norway (Cruise Vlog Day 9) The Scam That Ruined Our Cruise Hello and welcome to Travel with Chu And Mark! On Day 9 of our Ambassador Ambience 16-night cruise in search of the Northern Lights, we had a terrible experience that you must hear about. We arrived in stunning Alta, Norway, expecting a once-in-a-lifetime Aurora experience, but instead, we fell victim to an extremely poor-value shore excursion! Watch the full vlog to see exactly how we were SCAMMED out of £600 (approx. $750 USD) on a highly-anticipated Northern Lights excursion that was nothing more than a simple bus ride and a campfire.
