HURTIGRUTEN (THE DREAM VOYAGE! ) Bergen to Kirkenes  

Nothing melts the heart more than bringing the special lady on your special trips...

Thank you for sharing!

Love the narration, your mom is adorable. Trondheim is definitely worth 10 hours and more

Trollfjord is legend ship

What an amazing part of the world

A WONDERFUL VIDEIO - THANK YOU !!!

So many familiar places to me. I live in Finland and have been in many of those places from Bergen to the far north, but I have done my journeys by my motorhome. My dream is to make that Hurtigruten cruise some day.

We treasure our beautiful memories of our trip in March! What an extraordinary country !!! This is lying deep in my heart ! Will go back any day! Thank you for sharing!!

Well done! good job man.

Well done.... thx.....

I was in 15 or so when my journalist father who wrote one of the first accounts of the Hurtigruten for a mass audience (Reader's Digest), so it was the summer of 1970 or 1971. Back then it was not the popular tourist trip it is now: yes, there were passenger cabins, but it definitely felt more like hitchhiking on a commercial ship. As sometimes happens, odd memories: I liked visiting the engine room (still can smell it - probably diesel), discovering and liking the Norwegian equivalent to the European Orangina drink onboard called "Solo". It's still a thing in Norway today. The beautiful wooden architecture, especially the stave churches that looked something out of a medieval village. Then an embarrassing moment where I did a stupid young teen-age thing: as we crossed the Russian border briefly in a bus, I yelled out something dumb like "Shoot me, I'm American" to a Russian border guard who had a gun outside of the bus. My dad smacked me for it, and I deserved it. But I still have fond memories from our stay in Bergen and the whole trip itself. A unique experience with unmatched scenery and towns visited along the way.

Superb, Jonathan. Thank you for sharing your adventure.

I was on the Trollfjord with my mom as well in April 2022. We had the trip before you and had the time of our lives 😍 We disembarked in Bergen on April 21st, the day you embarked :)

My great grand parents were from this far north area. I just wish we knew the actual name. We were just told”on the Lapland border”. Thanks for showing this area! 😊

Brought back nice memories of our 12 day B-K-B trip on the Kong Harald in February 2020. We didn't manage to get upto the Cape either due to snowfalls but how incredible was the winter scenery. Like your mum we fancy doing the summer voyage to get contrasting perspectives. Thankfully we saw the lights a couple of times. Norway is stunning, and expensive!

Great stuff once again.

nice film

I and my wife had traveled on trollfjord in 2003

Thanks´for sharing!

Did this with my family last year and it was such a fantastic experience provided by Hurtigruten as we had always wanted to explore Norway’s coast. Planning another cruise with Hurtigruten in 2024 and we may do one of their HX trips down to Antarctica in 2025! Thank you for the video

Well presented video. Could have done with seeing more on board.

Hi there. I just found your channel this morning. Thanks for this video. It was a great reminder of our trip at the beginning of this year. I`m busy watching your other vids now. Cheers, Pete.

great job with this video!

Remember Trollfjords classic siren well

FFANTASTIZKT TACK ❤❤❤

Great idea to take your mom on this cruise. I’m thinking to do the same on my mom’s 70 birthday later this year .

Trollfjord is legend ship because only this ship has photos king and queen of norway

My Grandmother and her family were from the Bergen area, but South to Paradis and Nesttun . I sure would like to see these small towns at the North end of a long lake or maybe it is actually a fiord.? I hope someone will shoe the area!😊

I did that trip for 12 days, the map directions was along Norway but it really feels like I was at Canadian borders:))

Did the trip there and back in October 2008. Ridiculous onboard Norwegian prices.

Lovely., but the trip was too fast. There wasn't time to enjoy the stops along the way. Also I thought there was a ceremony when you cross the Arctic circle. I would have liked a tour of your room, amenities and the boat. Greetings from Canada.

We are considering a cruise of the Norwegian coastline from Oslo to Honningsvag, however, I am concerned about sea sickness. How rough was the voyage? Whih time of year would you recommend for the least chance of experiencing rough seas?

Did you see the northern lights or was it too cloudy or not the right season? Thinking about doing something like this but the idea of going in the dead of winter doesn’t seem like as much fun as April.

I knew you would get punished for all that nice weather between Bergen and Bodø. April is the time for it of course, but you can't make it all the way up that coast without at least seeing a cloud.

Thanks for the video. It's soo good. In April when was it ? Start , mid or end ?

How many ports were there? Did you feel rushed?

Beautiful route, isn't it?

The border used to be open to Russia. I think Murmansk.

Went on this cruise about 5 years ago. It was wonderful. However, one problem was not being allowed to take pictures in the Nidaros cathedral. Absurd!

You could come in Italy with mom, if she likes a less cold place... there is no video of Italy in your channel

I kinda expect more from hurtigurten cruise ship

I looked into this cruise and sadly the amount of time in each port is not enough time to eat let alone see anything, so I would definitely choose a different cruise, Other option would be to catch Hurtigruten on a point to point trip and make your way up the coast instead of a 7 day trip, so you get ample time to explore the great country. These are just ferries that carry goods and passengers to isolated ports and they want to make extra money on tourists.

Noice

One of the most irritating movies. Switching scenes after 2 seconds is annoying.

I suggest respectfully that in a city you think needs 10 hours to visit you spend less time sitting with that cup of coffee and more time moving about; otherwise informative video

Terrible service, no value for the money. This company had a monopoly far too long. And still everyone believes what the perfect Hurtigruten marketing machine is trying to make us believe. And since everyone paid so much money for the trip nobody admits that it was not money well spent. We had bad experiences and Hurtigruten did hardly anything to support.

Just captions & no talking would be better. You're not doing Race the World. Nice filming though.
