We woke early the day we arrived in Flam as we had booked the Flamsbana mountain train excursion with Celebrity Cruises before we sailed.

It’s time to once again let guest blogger, Scott take the helm as he brings you his recent Norwegian Fjords voyage aboard Celebrity Eclipse.

Cruising On Your Own
Since I started cruising I have enjoyed three solo voyages, but only my last gave me a real taste of what solo cruising is all about. I suppose the fact I am not a typical individual cruiser always becomes a talking point with people and it could be why I can form such quick relationships….
