The Ultimate Norwegian Cruise? Hurtigruten MS Trollfjord nails it!

#cruiseship #cruising
Norway’s coastline is a world of breathtaking fjords, hidden bays, and rugged islands—a staggering 63,000 miles of pure, natural wonder. It’s no surprise that cruise lines from around the globe jostle for space to sail here, but only one has the expertise, history, and access to show you Norway like no other.

Today, we’re thrilled to take you on what we believe is the ULTIMATE Norwegian Coastal Cruise on board Hurtigruten flagship MS Trollfjord on a journey unlike any other on Earth. Imagine 14 nights aboard a ship whose crew knows every rugged curve and corner of this coastline, backed by over 130 years of experience navigating Norway’s most secret and spectacular locations.

We’ve cruised Norway countless times, but this is something truly special—a rare, intimate look at a Norway that most travelers will never see.

This isn’t just another cruise… This is the Svalbard Line and we’re about to take you with us on this fascinating journey. Welcome aboard!

Your experienced and consistently well produced travel reports might not (yet) be flavoured by the algorithm - but for those of us who have found them anyway they are truly exceptional. There's nothing quite like it on YouTube. Your narrating voice alone is worth watching.

I was fortunate to take this trip in September. I was slightly apprehensive that after over 32 cruises I might be spending a lot of money for a tarted up ferry. I was wrong. The Svalbard trip was the best cruise I have ever experienced, and I am saving to go again. The ship is sturdy, the accommodations perfect for me (window, but not a suite), the food was superb, the staff exceptional, the shop was the best at sea, and the scenery and stops spectacular. Thank you for making this video where I saw several familiar crew faces. I can’t wait to go again!

After watching this, I've booked this trip via Panache for my husband's 60th next year - it's a bucket list destination and your description of the food on board sealed the deal! Thanks for another great video - can't wait for the vlog :)

[FraserAtSea]

I'm absolutely desperate to try one of these Hurtigruten trips - they look absolutely incredible. The fact you can 'tick off' so many places on one of their cruises is astounding!

[ordelmere]

Many thanks again for a surprising report on this trip. The experience appears first class and much better than I would have imagined. Now you have given us another special trip to add to the growing list…….

[firstfreonwarrior]

Yay! We have been so looking forward to these, as you know! ;-) Thank you

The Fjords is a dream of mine. And as ships become more emissions free, I’m sure it’ll be more possible, especially on smaller ships. Though there is something about QM2 and the fjords that just seem like a match made. Alas.

The Trollfjord’s retro appearance is so swish! The cantilevered bay windowed grand suites is giving Norwegian Majesty. Like. They need to bring those kinds of staterooms back! From 2002, but I love the late ‘80s look. You’d never know the way they’ve swished up the interiors, though. And, oh, that two deck high observation lounge!! This ship insists on generous views of the outside. Something some of the modern ships are just lacking. And they’re huge!

You guys need to visit the Queen Mary one day! She ain’t what she used to be..fer now, but I always love the take of a classic British ocean liner from authentic, swish British adventurers.

The SS Rotterdam, too, for that matter. She needs a visit from yens guys as well.

Rich really should be the next Bond, now that I think about it.

Stunning views and a surprising luxury. Just WOW 😍

We took this exact cruise in July, 2024. It was fabulous! Great video that let us re-live this fabulous journey on the MS Trollfjord! Will be following for future videos.

The ship looks fantastic and I love the surprise lunches and dinners in Rost, what a very cool idea.

I remember asking you all about cruising with Hurtigruten a bit ago during one of your live events. I was thrilled when you mentioned sailing with the line. I trust your reviews a great deal. Thanks for this!

[judithkitchingman]

Super vlog and now can’t wait for the next one. We are booked for July 25, both ways. Xx

If you *do* want to give tarted up northern ferries a go, there's Color Line's Kiel-Oslo line, Fjord Line's Bergen-Stavanger-Hirtshals-Kristiansand, DFDS' Oslo-Copenhagen, as well as Stena Line and Silja Line's myriad of ferries around Sweden and Finland. They're pretty solid.

[crrizello]

Thanks for the review. I have been looking at doing a Norwegian cruise this way!

[rickinnes]

Top tier video - I was worried about the cuisine coming from the West Coast of Canada. I have to say the food looks delicious. I am sold.

[joancook]

Outstanding! This looks like the way I want to see the Fiords. What time of year did you go? When would you recommend?

[jeremy]

Hi Helen and Rich. Hmm, inquiring minds want to know, Trollfjord in Antarctica cruising the Lemaire Channel, a Yay or a Nay ??? I think she might do quite well in that environment too.
And probably much cheaper than the cruise you paid for to get there on your trip down to the White Continent.

[rebeccaw]

A regional cruise brand, with regional food and chefs, with regional produce… YES!! After all, that is why we travel, for new experiences and flavours and stories.

Looks fantastic, doing it with Azamara 2025.
