Creator's Key Takeaways

I almost regretted taking this cruise.

The beauty of all of our ports saved the cruise.

I would not recommend the Hurtigruten British Isles Expedition cruise.

Overall, I thought the act of cruising was a great way to see the Isles.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Wait until at least April to visit the British Isles.
✓Spend 1 to 2 days on each Isle to see everything you need.
✓Book included excursions before the cruise, as optional ones must be booked on the ship.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Privacy in cabin — Remember if you book a room on the seventh floor, people can see in, so keep blinds shut.
Excursion booking chaos — Be prepared for a rush to book excursions on the ship and use the app once onboard.
Off-season closures — Visit in April or later to avoid things being closed due to the off season.
