Your blog and information have proved invaluable to me. Enjoy the cruise; it’s exactly the type of trip I’m interested in as I love winter. In fact, I’m headed over to Hurdal to participate in a kick-sled race with my cousins on Feb. 9th. (I’m most recently from Santa Fe, New Mexico and miss the snow, ice and winter nights.)

Sincerely, Brenda Sandberg

I would love to do this cruise one day but living in South Africa the airfares are ridiculously expensive to get up there more than the cruise itself with our rand being so weak.

Our room was on the lowest deck of the ship and reeked of fish when we got in there. From then on, it was affectionately known as “the fish deck” and that’s how we knew we were on the right floor — follow the fish smell… We hit rough waters the first night, and because we were just above the water line, it sounded like I was sleeping in a washing machine. I’ve been on MS Midnatsol also, and I have to say that as much as I enjoy the charm and authenticity of Vesteralen, I prefer the modern amenities of the bigger, newer ships! I look forward to hearing about your voyage and reading your book when it comes out.

As always it was wonderful. I have been on 3 different ships. It has always been incredible. I may go again. I will be watching your progress. FYI, there is a website called cruisin.me where you can go on and see the ships webcam ( when it isn’t totally dark) and watch your progress and see where you are.

I am so looking forward to each day with you as my husband and I were on the Trollfjord last May and enjoyed every minute. One of the things that stood out aside from the beautiful scenery and ports of call was the proficiency of the staff in every part of the ship. The guides were simply amazing and we had the joy of being on board for May 17, Constitution Day. Lovely.

My husband and I did this voyage on the “Spitsburgen” in the fall of 2017. Absolutely loved everything about it.
