We boarded the ship in Tromso for a trip to Kirkenes and back, three nights on board. The food was very special. Lots of choice and very good quality. The staff were attentive and helpful and the cabins were comfortable if basic. We weren’t able to visit all the ports scheduled as the weather was very bad but we did enjoy the extra trips to the Snow Hotel and Dog Sledding. We were also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights both from the ship and in Tromso. It is a good experience, well worth going!
