Northern Lights with Hurtigruten in Norway
The North Cape Line (Full Roundtrip Voyage From Oslo)
Mike and Carol, Australia, Jan 2026
Loved our cruise with MS Trollfjord Hurtigruten. What a fabulous 14 day trip visiting Norway during winter. We were worried that it would be too cold but the ship is heated so only need to rug up when you venture out. We were lucky enough to see the Northern LIghts and snow on several occasions and the staff are very helpful on board. The food was read more fantastic with 3 course a la carte meals every night based on the region or town we visited that day (variety and options to suit all). Must have the drinks package as the service is great and the staff are very experienced at matching the wine to the meals. Shore excursions are varied to accommodate personal abilities. Several lounge and quiet areas to relax and view the scenery. A variety of activities offered on board while sailing to help pass the time. Free laundromat available with washers and dryers if wanted.
Amazing Scandinavia trip
Follow The Northern Lights (Norway – Finland)
Mark, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
We did an extended land and sea tour with Hurtigruten from Oslo, up through Norway then cruised up past the north Cape and then travelled down through Laplands then down to Helsinki. The scenery was spectacular. We saw amazing northern lights in Lapland especially. Hurtigruten cruise was very comfortable. Typical cruise ship cabin, well maintained. read more Meals were so provided and varied from buffet to ala carte. Food was good quality. We had also booked a Travelmarvel river cruise, however due to damage to a lock in the river system they had to cancel the cruise. While we were very disappointed, they fully refunded our payment, and let us stay on board for 3 nights with all meals and drinks until we made other arrangements. Overall, a fantastic trip. Thank you Hannah for helping us arrange yet another trip. You are always there to help we really appreciate all that you've done.
Northern Lights & Winter Wonderland
Follow The Northern Lights (Norway – Finland)
Jodi, NSW, Australia, Jan 2026
Our 17 day journey through Norway, Lapland & Finland was phenomenal. It was a combined Cruise/Land tour with Hurtigruten & I can honestly say all hotels used were of a very high standard, best I've had on any tour & the Glass Igloos were a highlight. The Hurtigruten ship is a working ship not a cruise ship, however rooms were comfortable & food was read more good. We took this tour in Winter, Jan 2026, & I had to keep pinching myself, it felt like I was living in a Xmas fairytale, snowed everyday & Northern Lights at night, surreal.
The activities offered on this itinerary were exceptional eg. Husky dog sledding, Reindeer Safari etc. Would 100% recommend this tour to anyone. As for our consultant Hannah Campbell, she was amazing. We were a group of 4 friends travelling together so there were alot of questions. I was nominated spokesperson for the group & anytime I emailed Hannah she was always so quick to respond back. We were so impressed with Hannah & Global Journeys that we currently have another 2 active bookings in the system with her. Would highly recommend both Hannah & Global Journeys. Can't wait for our next adventures!

Dave and Marilyn, VIC, Australia, Jun 2025
This is our first ocean cruise with Viking and it lived up to our expectations. We really enjoyed the itinerary especially starting at the Cutty Sark wharf, brief stops in the Orkneys and Shetland and cruising through the fiords of Norway. The included excursions at each port were very good. Our cabin and facilities were very comfortable. Overall read more the ship was very good especially the included specialty restaurants - the Chefs Table and Manfredis. Our only disappointment was the dinner menu choices in The Restaurant. The World Cafe buffet was excellent for choice and quality. Georgie Walpole handled our booking efficiently as usual.

Trip was magical, so much snow very very pretty. Our tour guide Maria and driver Tomak added to the whole experience. A great bunch of fellow travellers and we saw the lights several times. Highlights are so many. Top of the world at North Cape was incredible. The huskies, the reindeer’s - all beautiful!
