Creator's Key Takeaways

The ship's design is simple yet elegant with modern touches that are both stylish and functional.

Overall, the menu selections were a bit more upscale than mainstream cruise lines.

Honestly, up to this point, this is the first included tour that was akin to something we would actually pay for on another cruise line.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book the Explorer's Dome as soon as you board due to limited space.
βœ“Consider a balcony stateroom for the Norwegian fjords views.
βœ“Use the ship's complimentary shuttle to explore ports independently.
βœ“Pack for variable weather, as conditions can change quickly.
