Helene, I get seasick as well and I did this tour. Vesteralen from Kirkenes to Bergen. We had one night that was a bit rough but sleep carried me through it. Other than that one night, open seas were calm. Went in mid-May.

It is the most beautiful journey a person can take. It’s peaceful, low stress, and fantastic food. No loud tourists or cranky children. Just peace and wonderful villages. It’s a trip to put a person back in touch with one’s soul.

I’m taking it in by far the most stormiest month of the year, and there’s only been two days of ‘bad’ stability from a guest perspective. I think if you travel in the late spring, summer, or even early autumn, the chances are a lot less. There really isn’t much “open sea” on the voyage, just maybe four stretches lasting 2 hours or so each.

I was hoping we would be close to the shore the whole time, but based on your reporting the ship is in open, and often choppy water. I know it is a beautiful trip and enjoyed following your journey.
