It was Norway and snowy. No Northern Lights really appeared. Plenty to do on ship, which was just as well as it turned out to be 3 days on land and 8 at sea, rather than the 6 days on land and 5 days at sea! Something I feel quite disappointed about and misled!
The food was great, and thanks to someone in the Britannia Restaurant paying great attention to my strict diet, I ate very well. The 'Afternoon Tea', however was not up to a 5 star hotel in England.

It wasn’t what I expected, The ship wasn't as good as any other I had been on . We stopped at some lovely places. The weather made us miss out on our last port of call so we had 4 days at sea coming back and couldn’t dock any where else that the captain had tried. So we had to sail home at a reduced rate of knots. There was no night set to dine at the captains table like on other boats we had been on. But we did see the northern lights and that made our holiday special.

The ship was beautiful. The staff were excellent. Entertainment was first class . We were well looked after. Unfortunately we were lead to believe at point of booking we had a 2 day stay in Tromso and a 2 day stay in Narvic . Which was not the case. Just one day in each place. With the ship leaving at midnight. Which we were not expecting. I would never had booked this cruise if it was made clear to me . Also due to weather we could no visit the last port of Haugsund. Which meant on 12 day cruise we spend 9 days at sea Which is unacceptable. A

South Queensferry (For Edinburgh)
DAY 3
29 Jun 2027
A charming port town roughly ten miles from Edinburgh, South Queensferry is one of the most beautiful towns in Scotland; boasting quaint cobblestone streets, a variety of independent retailers and boutique shopping experiences, and plenty of picturesque places to walk, it’s easy to get lost in the charming atmosphere here. However, it’s also just a short trip to Edinburgh city centre, and the Scottish capital is one destination you don’t want to miss out on visiting when you have the chance; the entire city is a picture, and home to an abundance of breathtaking sights and incredible experiences. You’ll find some of the most significant Scottish landmarks here, from the ever-iconic Edinburgh Castle to the stunning Palace of Holyroodhouse – and indeed the Royal Mile that connects the two, cutting through the heart of the city centre. That’s not all, though. From atop Calton Hill – which is home to the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, and the City Observatory (among other landmarks) – and Arthur’s Seat – an ancient extinct volcano in Holyrood Park – you’ll have the chance to admire sweeping panoramic views of the city and beyond. The Scott Monument, St. Giles’ Cathedral, and Royal Botanic Gardens are all excellent options when it comes to sightseeing too. When you combine all of this with the incredible food, charming cafes, lively pubs, and other fantastic experiences available across the capital, there really is an abundance of things to enjoy when you’re in Edinburgh. So, while South Queensferry has its charms, the Scottish capital really is the highlight here.
Things to do in South Queensferry (For Edinburgh):
Forth Bridge
An iconic single cantilever railway bridge stretching across the Firth of Forth, connecting South Queensferry with North Queensferry, Forth Bridge is an UNESCO World Heritage Site widely considered one of the best man-made wonders in Scotland; a symbol of the nation, and an impressive feat of human engineering, the bridge was completed in 1889 after seven years of construction. It spans over 8,000 feet across the waterway and was the longest single cantilever bridge in the world at the time of completion; this remained until 1919, where it was bested by Quebec Bridge in Canada. It remains the second-longest single cantilever bridge in the world, though, and an impressive sight to see first-hand.
Edinburgh Castle
Sitting atop Castle Rock – an area that has been inhabited by humans since the Iron Age – Edinburgh Castle, in some form, has overlooked the Edinburgh area since the 11th century. Starting out as a royal residence for Malcolm III, the castle eventually became a military garrison from circa 1633, and has since become an important part of Scotland’s national heritage. It played an active role in the Wars of Scottish Independence throughout the 14th century, the siege to free James III of Scotland in 1482, and the Lang Siege from 1571 to 1573 – while also being an important site during the Jacobite rising of 1745, among other Scottish conflicts. Now a tourist attraction with historical displays, several shops and cafes, and some sensational views of the city, a visit to Edinburgh Castle is not to be missed.
Calton Hill
This hill in central Edinburgh is home to a number of important landmarks and monuments, making it a fantastic place to visit when you’re in Edinburgh. Standing over 150 ft high over the Scottish capital, you’ll find the following monuments on this UNESCO World Heritage Site: the National Monument, the Nelson Monument, the Dugald Stewart Monument, the old Royal High School, the Robert Burns Monument, the Political Martyrs’ Monument, and the City Observatory. With some of these monuments as old as the 18th century, there’s a lot to learn about Edinburgh and Scotland’s history just from this one hilltop – that, and some stunning views of the city surrounding you.
The Scott Monument
A stunning Victorian Gothic monument in Edinburgh’s Princes Street Gardens, an area where you can see Edinburgh Castle atop Castle Rock rising in the distance, the Scott Monument honours Scottish novelist, poet, and historian Sir Walter Scott – who authored Rob Roy (1817), Waverley (1818), and Ivanhoe (1819), among others. At over 200 ft tall, it’s the second-tallest monument to an author in the world after the Jose Marti Monument in Havana, Cuba. While breathtaking to see from street level, you can also climb up this intricate tower monument to enjoy panoramic views of Edinburgh from viewing platforms. Inaugurated in 1846, the monument itself is adorned with visages of Scottish writers, poets, and other notable figures.
Invergordon (tours to Inverness or Loch Ness)
DAY 4
30 Jun 2027

If you decide to venture into Inverness, you can expect to be met with a stunning city home to incredible historic landmarks, mouthwatering cuisine, and breathtaking natural beauty. And, if you decide that a tour to Loch Ness is more to your liking, you’ll find yourself immersed in a staggeringly beautiful stretch of the Scottish Highlands – and, you might even get a glimpse of the elusive Nessie! Wherever you decide to go here, or even if you opt to stay in Invergordon when you arrive, you’ll have a truly fantastic time soaking in the incredible atmosphere of this region.
Things to do in Invergordon (tours to Inverness or Loch Ness):
Loch Ness
Stretching around 23 miles in the Great Glen southwest of Inverness, Loch Ness is the second-largest Scottish loch by surface area and the largest loch by volume in Great Britain – though, it’s undoubtedly the most famous thanks to the infamous Loch Ness Monster, and Urquhart Castle. Overlooking Loch Ness, this castle is one of the largest in Scotland; built throughout the 13th century to the 16th century, these ruins offer incredible views of the surrounding Loch and a unique insight into the history of the Highlands. As for Nessie, this mysterious creature was reportedly first spotted in the 6th century, with the most recent spotting reportedly captured by drone footage in 2021.
Inverness Castle
Overlooking the River Ness in the heart of Inverness, Inverness Castle is the latest in a succession of fortifications that have stood on this elevated site since 1057. Constructed in a similar style to the original Inverness Castle using the same red sandstone, the current Inverness Castle dates back to 1836 – which still makes the condition it’s in today an impressive feat. Now home to the Inverness Castle Experience, you’ll have the chance to learn more about the landscape, heritage, and culture of the Scottish Highlands on an interactive journey through the castle and its grounds.
Inverness Cathedral
Dedicated to St. Andrew, an apostle of Jesus and the patron saint of Scotland, Inverness Cathedral is a Gothic Revival cathedral in the heart of Inverness; it was constructed between 1866 and 1869. Interestingly, this makes Inverness Cathedral the first Protestant cathedral to be completed in Great Britain since the Reformation. An impressive church in sight of the River Ness, this site adds to the rich culture found in Inverness and stands nearly opposite Inverness Castle – which only adds to the impressive views.
