Hurtigruten Cruises

If you are passionate about cruising, then chances are that you probably enjoy a little pampering - fine dining, spa, world class entertainment etc. However, just because your cruise is supposed to be relaxing and not luxurious not mean it can not contain a bit of adventure as well. There are some cruises that walk this line as skillfully as a Norwegian coastal cruise, and as a passenger on such a trip you'll feel more like a sailor throughout the line of a passenger luxury cruise casual.

Once you set eyes on a single Hurtigruten ships you'll realize just how different an experience for you. These ships are built for the primary and perhaps not aesthetically pleasing than most floating palaces that ply the Mediterranean have. The Hurtigrutens are more akin to large ferries, with cargo compartments in the belly of the ship, passengers and the beds at the top. The cabins are much like hotel rooms, and what you expect if you were a crew member aboard a vessel, adding to the authenticity of the experience. This does not mean they are not comfortable. Quite the opposite in fact. They are well appointed and comfortable and have all the amenities you would find on a cruise ship more.

Of course, the ship is a small part of Norwegian coastal cruise. The wild beauty of the fjords of Norway and the exciting ports of call, you will visit are all something to look forward. When you're away from civilization, floating along the mighty forests and massive glaciers Norway you will feel like an old sailor mapping of this area preserved for the first time. Even when you reach civilization again, you can still feel worlds away from home. Whether you visit the beautiful city of Oslo, or the doors of the North Pole in Hammerfest, you will experience few travelers ever. Geiranger is another area not to miss the wild beauty as postcards to each corner and gorgeous waterfalls flowing over 2000 feet in the sea

As you can imagine a Norwegian coastal cruise is very different from your regular European travel. If you want beauty, adventure and authenticity of your next vacation consider the fjords for a travel experience you will never forget.
