Customer reviews for Hurtigruten
Wonderful in every way
Everything excellent
This was a specialised cruise with the intention of seeing the Northern Lights. The ships are working ships so are not super luxurious, hence the cabin was good but not excellent. It served our purpose and we have no complaints. Service at all times was superb, they could not do enough for us. The dining equally so especially the fine dining in the evening, helps if you like fish it figures high on the menu and there is lots of it in the buffet meals. Entertainment is pretty non existent although they have lots of relevant talks. Good range of activities to suit all abilities, tied in with excursions. Value for money for the trip as a whole was good but the excursions are extremely expensive. Overall a great experience and the Northern Lights were fantastic.
All the staff and crew aboard MS Richard With were wonderful and tremendously hard-working. They had a great sense of humour and were very friendly and helpful. I'm vegetarian and I was extremely well catered for and everyone else I spoke to was impressed with the food, which was locally-sourced as far as possible. A huge cruise ship would not suit me, but I would love to sail with Hurtigruten again.
