Would travel with HA again. Very civilised and relaxing cruise. Food overall very good. Tamarind restaurant excellent. Pizza, pretsels, burger, chips round the pool, all excellent. Varied choice of food in Lido Market was great. BB Kings All Stars are 5*, as was The Rolling Stone. Room service, excellent. Staff all helpful and friendly, except for 1 male server in the restaurant. Curt and grumpy, maybe having a bad day, who knows. Overall score 4. 7* out of 5*.

Beautiful ship in first class condition. Excellent and welcoming crew. Excellent food; the best of any cruise so far. Lectures poor, little enrichment. Main circular theatre with AI screens surrounding you is the best I have seen but this is let down by poor entertainment. Bar prices and gratuities are bare faced robbery. The ship always parks furthest from the town and then charges you for a coach journey at a ridiculous price. I assume B. B. King’s music lounge means “Bang Bang” as the drummer is trying to wake the next visited town. Not liked by many people who walked past the place covering their ears. Holland America might in future have to defend claims for hearing damage. Not much better in the Rolling Stones lounge where the singers cannot sing. All in all fair cruise and with some positive comments I don’t think that I will be cruising with Holland American again although it might be just right for other people.

Great service, food very good and ports as expected. Excursions very expensive and not well organized. Left waiting in sun over 30 minutes.
No transfers included in package, I asked for transfer to be arranged to port, I am really pleased as this was much cheaper than a taxi, disappointed with iglu as written on my records this was not recommended.
Like Holland America cruises but don't expect good entertainment. Comedy was aimed at British

Oslo
DAY 3
14 Sep 2026

As Norway's capital city, there's no doubt that Oslo is a hub of stylish architecture, Scandinavian culture and quirky art scenes, as well as plenty of traditional Norwegian cuisine.

The 1300s saw the completion of the mediaeval fortress, which was strategically situated at the tip of the headland and resisted several sieges throughout the centuries.

Skagen, Denmark
DAY 4
15 Sep 2026
Time at Port: from 7 AM to 4 PM
Since the 19th century, Skagen has lured visitors from all around the world for its breathtaking landscapes and beautiful beaches. Nowadays, travellers visit for all this as well as the unique neighbourhoods, array of museums and fantastic shopping. Skagen's artistic flair makes for great photo opportunities, but if you're looking for more active excursions, enjoy a guided hike, a full-day horse ride or water sports at the beach.
Things to do in Skagen, Denmark:
Skagens Museum
Showcasing an array of Scandinavian art and collections, the Skagens Museum is a popular place to visit for those wanting to discover late 19th and early 20th century local art. Centrally located, the museum’s collection is continuously rotating.
Tilsandede Kirke
A church honouring Saint Lawrence of Rome from the late 14th century has become known as the Sand-Covered Church and is a popular photo spot with tourists visiting the town. Located 2 km from the centre, it's worth a visit if you have the time to wander down to it whilst in Skagen.

It is also the perfect location for anybody seeking a breathtaking panoramic view that encompasses both the entire city and the sea.

Sandnes
DAY 5
16 Sep 2026
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 3 PM
Just a short distance from Stavanger, and sitting at the southern end of the Gandsfjord, Sandnes is among the most southern Norwegian cruise destinations, something that means it enjoys slightly more temperate weather throughout the year. Why is this important? Well, as a rather narrow city surrounded by an abundance of excellent hiking and walking routes, it makes exploring this remarkable region a lot easier. A fantastic cruise destination for travellers who want to get up and out to explore the great outdoors, you’ll find an abundance of breathtaking views when you head out on an adventure in Sandnes. Although, this destination isn’t just great for the hikers among you; you’ll find all the charm of a smaller Norwegian town, but all the amenities of a bustling city, in Sandnes. With fantastic restaurants and cafes, attractions like the Vitenfabrikken (Science Centre) and Atelier K. Fossum art gallery, and plenty of urban parks to stroll through, there are more ways than one to make the most of a visit to Sandnes while cruising Scandinavia.
Things to do in Sandnes:
Dalsnuten
One of the most popular hiking routes in the region is the hike to Dalsnuten, a peak by the Gandsfjord that stands over 330 metres above sea level; a reasonably accessible route that’s suitable for the whole family, views from Dalsnuten are stunning – and, if you want to spend a little more time exploring the area, there are plenty of ways to extend your hike on the way up. With routes affording you the chance to see the remains of the Lundane homestead, an old farm and its orchard, and more insights into what life in rural Norway was like, you’ll find an adventure here refreshing and rewarding.
Sverd i fjell
Known as “Swords in Rock” in English, Sverd i fjell is an impressive monument in Stavanger (which is just north of Sandnes) commemorating the historic Battle of Hafrsfjord, which took place in 872. The battle that resulted in King Harald Fairhair uniting all of Norway under one crown, the monument depicts three bronze swords – the largest of which representing the victorious Harald, while the other two represent the defeated petty kings. Planted in solid rock, so that the swords may never be removed and wielded again, the monument also represents peace.
Kongeparken
If you’re looking for something a little different, Kongeparken – which sits just south of Sandnes – is one of the largest amusement parks in the region and home to more than 50 rides, along with restaurants and other theme-park attractions. While largely aimed at younger children, from ages 3 to 12, you’ll find fun for the whole family here.
Scenic Cruising Sognefjord
DAY 6
17 Sep 2026
The ever-impressive Sognefjord, which is nicknamed King of the Fjords, is both the longest and the deepest fjord in Norway. Cutting comfortably through Vestland county, with several sizable offshoots branching into smaller fjords as you head further inland, Sognefjord stretches roughly 127 miles and boasts some of the most breathtaking Scandinavian scenery you can see while sailing in Northern Europe. As wide as four miles at some points, and as narrow as 250 metres at others, this is a dramatic natural waterway where you can enjoy sensational views of snow-capped mountains stretching up into the sky, impressive icy glaciers, and vibrant forests while relishing in the comfort afforded by your cruise ship. With tumbling waterfalls, small coastal settlements, and impressive wildlife littering the shores, there’s always something interesting to spot while you’re enjoying this scenic cruising experience.
Skjolden
DAY 6
17 Sep 2026
Time at Port: from 8 AM to 3 PM
Skjolden is a picturesque village in Vestland County, Western Norway. It’s part of the Lustre municipality, and located at the head of the Sognefjorden, the longest navigable fjord in the world, making the sail there a spectacle in and of itself. With a small population of only 300 inhabitants, if the busyness of a major city is what you're looking for, you're in the wrong area; on the other hand, if you want peace and quiet together with a breathtaking landscape, you're in the perfect spot. With 3 national parks at its doorstep (Jostedalsbreen, Breheimen and Jotunheimen), alongside a variety of other attractions, you’ll have an unforgettable stop in Skjolden.
Things to do in Skjolden:
Wittgenstein Lodge
The Wittgenstein family was one of the most powerful in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy in the second part of the nineteenth century. Hochreit, Karl Wittgenstein's hunting lodge, was furnished by Hoffmann in 1907 and is situated in a lovely area directly on the lake. Inside, feel like you've been transported back in time as you discover the historic future from the early 19th century.
Åsafossen
A stunning waterfall that is reachable on foot from the cruise port, the Asafossen waterfall is simply stunning. Measuring 180m, this impressive attraction rushes down the slope across the street from Vassbakken Kro & Camping in Skjolden. And over the years, Sherpas from Nepal have strengthened and protected the ascent to the waterfall, making it quite simple to walk up to it.
Skjolden Llamas
If you’ve ever wanted to meet or walk llamas, you’re in for a treat. At this scenic farm you can opt to walk along the lake and get to know these amazing animals. And with the farm being located just 500 metres from the centre of Skjolden, it’s perfectly located for those wanting to stay closer to the ship.
