We highly recommend visiting the UNESCO World Heritage rock carvings in Hjemmeluft from around 4,200 to 500BC, as well as dog sledding and viewing the aurora borealis from the world's first Northern Lights observatory built in 1899.

        Nestled amongst sandy beaches and rugged mountainscapes, Hammerfest is the place to go for an adventurous cruise holiday. While you'll find opportunities for a light hike to panoramic views of the town, the highlights are found in deep sea fishing, trekking and kayaking. You can also explore the Ancient Polar Bear Society to discover the history of Arctic hunting, as well as the uniquely designed Portestant Church of Hammerfest.

        If you’re looking for an authentic Norwegian experience, rugged wilderness and Northern Lights included, then Harstad in Troms county is the perfect place to be; although, you’ll find Harstad town centre home to more than enough modern comforts for anyone looking to relax while ashore. From Grottebadet – an underground water park built inside a mountain – to Folkeparken – Harstad’s most popular woodland hiking region – and the Adolf Gun – a surviving Second World War artillery cannon at Trondenes Fort – there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And, with never-ending sunlight in the summer months, and the opportunity to see Aurora Borealis in the wintertime, Harstad promises to offer you a unique experience whenever you visit.

Embarking was surprisingly quick and smooth considering queue. Apart from one numpty that put his bag under tape to collect on his way back past, a silly thing to do under any security climate. We thought we’d be embarking Ambience from above after getting blown through the roof. Recommend borough market restaurant for a no fuss breakfast with a huge selection of choice across the board. FUN. Relax into the experience and make your own, enjoy.

Complete lack of transparency for the upgrade system, we offered full price for the deluxe suite and told we were unsuccessful. When we questioned this we were told that sales had sold the upgrade, so why were we not told this before and saved wasting our time? Many of the serving staff appeared to have no training and slopped food onto plates. We had to shuffle passed bunk system to get into bed. Very poor and worn mattress, pillows and sheets. We don’t plan to use Ambassador again.
