As this is the year of our 40th Wedding Anniversary, we looked for a special trip of a lifetime.
We chose the Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyage - A 14 -day Classic Round trip from Bergen north up the coast of Norway, across the Arctic Circle and around the North Cape to Kirkenes close to the Russian border and back to Trondheim.
Advertised as the World's most beautiful voyage, we sailed on the cruiseship Nordnorge calling at 34 ports along the coast. The Hurtigruten ships are both cruise ships and working boats collecting and delivering cargo, cars and passengers as they travel along the coast.

The ship was all we could wish for: luxurious, spacious, comfortable, fully stabalised and the food was just unbelievable.
