Norwegian Fjords With Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines
Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines’ Balmoral sailed into Newcastle with the promise of a 5-night scenic cruising voyage to Norway, taking in 2 ports of call: Bergen and Eidfjord. I visited Norway a few years ago on a cruise; that particular itinerary was to the Arctic Circle and as you can imagine, it was rather cold!…

Oriana Arctic Adventure
I am back from my Arctic adventure and what an adventure it was! I didn’t really have a massive amount to report back to you at the end of the cruise because our call to Bergen was cancelled and we missed our tours in Tromso. It was all a bit crazy so I thought I…
Back To The Beginning
Next year I shall be boarding the ship that started it all, Oriana! The plan is to embark on a 12-night Northern Lights cruise in March and I am already counting down the days – 80 left to go! I boarded Oriana back in 2007 for my very FIRST CRUISE and I have never looked…

Neither the weather nor the scenery were as amazing as the previous two mornings, but Alesund looked quaint so we decided to get off for a quick…
Celebrity Eclipse In Geirangerfjord
The next morning we awoke to find ourselves winding our way down the even more spectacular Geirangerfjord. As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky. Another perk of being in a suite was the invite…
Celebrity Eclipse in Flam
We woke early the day we arrived in Flam as we had booked the Flamsbana mountain train excursion with Celebrity Cruises before we sailed. We had visited Flam the year before, unexpectedly making an overnight stopover due to bad weather preventing us from getting to Geiranger as planned. The station is only a stone’s throw…
