Complete Norway and Northen Lights voyage being impacted by an itinerary change by Hurtigruten 1 , VIC, Australia, Dec 2024
Very disappointed the northbound journey was terminated at Tromso due to weather conditions and hence our plan to go on snowmobile & husky rides excursions at Kjollefjord & Kirkenes did not materialise. Having travelled all the way from Australia this was going to be the highlight of our holiday. The southbound journey was also disappointing with many read more ports cancellation. However overall services provided by Global Journeys are commendable in respect of voyage booking on Hurtigruten and flight booking on Qatar Airways.
