Creator's Key Takeaways

We absolutely loved the fjords. The scenery was really spectacular and everything we'd hoped for.

In our opinion, the Norwegian scenery was slightly more beautiful than Alaska across the whole week.

We would recommend this itinerary for families.

The food here once you did get inside was fantastic and some of the best we've had on a cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pack layers and waterproofs or ponchos as these do come in handy.
✓Be prepared to walk where you can or be prepared to be very patient with elevators.
✓Get reservations for the Olive Grove dining option early if you want to go.
