Creator's Key Takeaways

I suggest if you're just going to do part of the voyage make it northbound because the important sites have more time on the northbound cruise

it's very difficult to get any information exactly what to see in the little towns if you're walking around by yourself print off your own maps

do not take this hurt cabin I don't really

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Do the northbound voyage to allow more time at important sites.
✓Dress for comfort and warmth, including long underwear for excursions and Northern Lights viewing.
✓Print your own maps for shore excursions as ship information can be limited.
✓Avoid cabins located near the ends of outside decks to prevent noise from people walking by at night.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cost of excursions and drinks — Be aware that liquor, beer, and shore excursions are expensive, similar to other cruise ships.
Tipping culture — Tipping is not customary in Norway, so you won't be charged automatic daily gratuities.
