The Coastal Express from Bergen, 7 November 2025 (11 nights)

Absolutely amazing

Trip was everything we had hoped for - comfortable, high quality food, fantastic scenery and every possible weather condition for the time of year. We had two good nights of Aurora borealis in the Lofoten Islands

wow where to begin!!! the accommodation exceeded my expectations, plenty of room, 2 portholes open to the sea without any disruption. the staff were open, friendly and extremely helpful, well done on the training. the rood was excellent in the restaurant, I tried things I never thought I would such as reindeer and caviar, the 2 café bars also offered the best quality snacks. overall a fabulous experience.

We really enjoyed our cruise up the Norwegian coast once we had adjusted to the darkness and short daylight hours. The staff on board ship were always polite, friendly and helpful. The food and choice of food was excellent. The ethos of using food sources along the route and using local recipes was brilliant. We didn't opt out of the set menu but know we could have requested an alternative if necessary. Buffet choices for breakfast and some lunches was amazing. We went on a few of the trip options and thoroughly enjoyed the experiences. The scenery was beautiful once we could see it and having the snow made this even more dramatic. Highlight has to be seeing the Northern Lights which we were fortunate to see on three nights, maybe a little more emphasis on their appearance to the naked eye would have helped and maybe a viewing scope for those without cameras with high iso or pictures downloaded onto the big screen from those who had good cameras.
