Norwegian
Dream, Norwegian Cruise Line
Greetings
from Scotland. Thank you for arranging a wonderful cruise on the Norwegian Dream.
Everything went well - the two nights in London and then the twelve days on board
were great. We are now back with fond memories having seen interesting places
and met fine people. This morning we received an e-mail from a couple in New Hampshire
reminiscing on the happy time we had together on the ship. Thank you again for
the efficient and friendly way you arranged the cruise. We shall continue to mention
your name to anyone we know who is planning a cruise. Keep well. –

Trollfjord, Norwegian Coastal Voyage
Having
just left the Lofoten Islands and now well and truly on our way home, sadly, I
felt I must send you a few words to express my gratitude for providing us with
such a wonderful experience. I have always said to our daughters, when going to
a cinema, that the hallmark of a good film is feeling when it finishes you could
stay seated and watch it all over again. That is exactly how I am feeling right
now! The standard of service, from top to bottom, has been superbe, the food excellent,
the scenery unbelievable and, out of your control of course, the weather for the
most part has been beautiful, especially whilst we crossed over the top of Europe
and back which was when it really mattered. We just did the coach tour down to
Stamsund and that was the icing on the cake! We shall be sorry to disembark but
will have wonderful memories. Thank you.

The
Hurtigruten boat-trip was the greatest! The landscape was so beautiful, the food
was fine, and the trip was very well organized. -
Greta Swinnen, Halle, Belgium MS
Midnatsol, Norwegian Coastal Voyage Thank
you for your help arranging the cruise in Norway. My wife and myself were very
satisfied. We relaxed while enjoying the wonderful Norwegian landscape and the
delicious meals on board. This was our first cruise experience, and I have a "luxury
episode" to report. I was seriously worried about gaining too much weight
on board due to the delicious meals. So I started the walking exercise –
10 rounds on the upper deck every morning and afternoon! As a result, I got the
honorable nickname "Mr. Excersise" from an English tour group! Anyway,
thanks again to your company for your service. Best regards, -

Well
I am back in Beirut, after having had a wonderful cruise on the Trollfjord. It
truly was a grand experience. I wonder if you had heard -- the northbound journey
was cut short at Honningsvag because of a terrible storm. I arrived the following
day at Kirkenes Airport, again in a driving snow storm, to discover that the vessel
had not arrived. The company then bussed us for nine hours to Honningsvag to catch
the ship the same evening. The bus ride was a real bonus. The countryside between
Kirkenes and Honningsvag was spectacular, especially in the snow. We saw reindeer,
and all manner of interesting things. The following morning, the sun shone brightly,
and stayed shining for the entire journey. It was simply beautiful. And the vessel
itself was luxury. I enjoyed the entire trip immensely. Thank you very much for
all your work in putting it together. I will recommend your services for anyone
planning a trip to Norway. –

Kong Harald, Norwegian Coastal Voyage
We
thoroughly enjoyed our entire trip to Norway but have a few observation which
might be of interest to you . The cruise ship the Kong Harald was clean and comfortable
and the crew from the Captain to the Cabin ladies were all very polite , helpful
and cheerful and the food and service were "par excellence", but the "on board
entertainment" was non-exsistant. Overall the trip was very good value , both
hotels (Artic Riga in Kirkenes and Strand in Bergen) were great and good value
and we enjoyed the Scenic Rail trip to Oslo. We also found the Norwegian people
to be warm and friendly and the whole country was very 1st world and well run,
with English spoken by nearly everybody. Booking through you was financially prudent
,as you passed on some good discounts, generally the normal cost of living in
Norway is very high by world standards. The expensive part of the trip were the
Air Fares from Oslo to Kirkenes, perhaps you should try and arrange some discount
deal with Braathens for your clients who wish to take the one-way cruise. Otherwise,
it was a most memorable and worthwhile experience and would recommend your organisation
to everybody, as the trip went without a single hitch. -

Midnatsol, Norwegian Coastal Voyage
The
Hurtigruten trip was incredibly beautiful. The new 2003-built Midnatsol is a wonderful
ship. There are great views of the fjords, the islands, the sea, the channels,
the villages, from everywhere on the ship. It doesn't matter if the weather is
cold, hot, wet or whatever, a person can enjoy the trip from inside or outside
at any time of day or year. The food was tremendous and the staff was friendly,
courteous, and helpful. We would recommend it to anyone. I would also recommend
an outside cabin with a porthole over an inside cabin because that way, the cruise
is always a part of your day or night. Thanks for your help. –

And
this is a very overdue letter to you .. We spoke many times of writting to you
and thank you for your assistance with the arrangements and also let you know
that it was a wonderful trip. The itinerary is great, you get a little of everything,
enough to taste and leave you wishing for more. You get to know a small and a
big city in Norway and different nature (fjord and glacier). We enjoyed the days
at sea before and after Norway and I think they are very important for the distinction
between the different aspects of the cruise. I think that the cruise should be
a little longer, 10 to 12 days. Anyway the ports were varied and beautiful. The
ship is very beautiful, very comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and everything
was very professional, we were really impressed. There are a lot of varied activities
in the ship for all ages and interest. We do not have a lot of experience in cruises
since this is only our third and the most luxurious but my brother that does have
a lot of experience was impressed with the ship, and everything else including
security, that is an important issue these days. I noticed that next year this
cruise is not offered and I think it is a pity because it is a beautiful area
and a great way to see it. I think it is one of the few cruises that you can enjoy
the sightseeing not only by going down on the ports but also as you cruise. We
keep your details with us and we will contact you when planning another vacation.

We
had a GREAT time - the Trollfjord was beautiful, the route was beautiful. No problems
at all. The people running the boat were very well organized (I suppose they've
had lots of practice). We've told everyone we know how fun it was. Thanks again.

Polarlys, Norwegian Coastal Voyage
Norway
is a wonderful country. We had a great time there. Thanks to the cruise we got
to see parts which would never have been part of our itinerary. The change in
topography, the midnight sun and just being in the Arctic Circle were thrilling
moments for us. The rooms were very small but luckily we were able to upgrade
to the Ship's Suite, which was a fantastic room. That made our trip even better.
The stay at Balestrand was very enjoyable too, but a little hectic due to the
traveling. We have recommended you to a lot of people and some of them may get
in touch with you. The only disincentive for most people here is that reaching
there is very expensive (no direct flights) and the cost of traveling, boarding
and lodging in Scandinavia is very high. Thanks so much for everything! -
