Summary:
The Norwegian Coastal Voyage is a worthwhile, interesting and relaxing journey. The Hurtigruten package is very professional and enjoyable. The tour manager is more like an MC, encouraging, optimistic and helpful. The food is excellent; the seamanship impeccable. MS Nordkapp is one of the larger ships, and is well appointed, well maintained, and always clean. The trip is not a cruise, but a ferry trip up and down the coast. At the smaller towns, it berths right in the middle. It goes a long way north and a long way east. The trips from the ship are well organised and most interesting; from sleigh rides to seeing the North Cape. Having been in winter and in summer, it is probably better to go when there is light. We'll definitely go again - probably in spring!
