The Coastal Express from Bergen, 8 July 2024 (11 nights)

This was a good trip despite challenges with weather that can't be helped. Consequently very little visibility of Northern lights. Plenty of snow though! Nordlys is a good ship and although due for refit this year was still very comfortable. It must be remembered that this is a post ship so a lot of the stops are very short. However the scenery was fantastic and more spectacular than the Northern lights anyway. Would be interesting to do this to again in the summer. Don't forget you are effectively in Norway, so expect Norway prices for everything. The expedition team were well informed and very helpful in all aspects. Food superb. All in all a good trip with a very professional line. Would go with this company again.

We have just returned from the most amazing holiday of a life time. Our whole experience from start to finish has been great and we can't recommend the staff, food and service of the on-board Ms Nordlys team enough!

Wonderful food (but with very expensive drinks) and first class team organising excursions (albeit very expensive) and providing lots of interesting talks and information on points of interest along the way. We were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights, which was the main reason for choosing this cruise. However the schedule for the second half of the trip leaves very little time to go ashore and explore the local towns in daylight.

Small but select, comfortable. Food amazing! Staff wonderful.
