Alaska expedition     1 , QLD, Australia, Sep 2024
This was an excellent cruise. The ship was a great size, the rooms were a good standard with a roomy ensuite (with heated floor). The food was amazing with so much choice and very high quality. All the staff were friendly and helpful. We saw so many animals up close in the wild - arctic fox, seals, bears, otters, whales, bald eagles. Amazing locations ...read more and beautiful scenery. The rubber ducky rides took you up close to glaciers, waterfalls and the wildlife. The onboard scientists provided heaps of information about what we saw. We would cruise with Hurtigruten again.
