Wonderful cruise if Fjords 0 , WA, Australia, Sep 2025
Great cruise of the Norwegian Fjords. The ship was modern and clean with ample facilities. The ports chosen were delightful except we docked at Sandes instead of Stavanger which was disappointing as Sandes is just an ugly shipping port. Be aware that not all the fees are transparent with lots off additional charges including daily fee for expenses, read more tips, wifi, drinks. The service staff are absolutely brilliant and deserving of a mention. The food is good with lots of variety. The gym is fantastic with a huge area and everything needed for workouts.
Norway and Iceland 4 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2023
Undoubtedly the best holiday we have had. The Rotterdam is a new ship so everything was clean and worked. The staff were beyond praise - nothing was too difficult and they went out of their way to make the experience an unforgettable one. The locality certainly helped. It is one thing to read a description of a Norwegian fjord - it is entirely different read more to actually be in one. This cruise took us deep into several stunning examples. The Captain even executed a 360 degree turn in one so that the full experience was open to every point on the ship. Onboard, there was something for everyone, even a grumpy old curmudgeon like me. Food was great, a wide range of drinks catered for all and the entertainment was excellent. Totally recommend the whole package.
Norway cruise with Holland America 7 , QLD, Australia, Jun 2023
We had a lovely cruise to the top of Norway. Lovely ship and great service. Global Journeys were easy to deal with.
