Ship Castor
Our experience was great. And embarking and disembarking beyond simple. Communication prior to the voyage was amazing informative and completely accurate. The ship was peaceful and quiet. Which gave a very relaxing environment to enjoy the surrounding beautiful on an eco-friendly ship. The ship was small, keeping passengers to 600 people or less to include crew. The stuff was friendly, helpful, and the passengers were equally friendly sharing the experience. The food was the right amount, but you can always ask for seconds. The ship was spotless. The beds were comfortable in the room was more than adequate. In Norway it is noted that credit cards are accepted almost everywhere which we found to be true with one exception at the Russian border tour, which was a great tour. There was a small gift shop and a gentleman was not able to take a credit card, but he had the most unique and adorable trinkets from Russia and Norway and who knows where else. So make sure you take cash for that really the gift were unique. Notifications on the ship to the northern lights were noted and everyone to including a lot of the crew members were On top deck sharing, the excitement of the lights. The outdoor areas were heated, just in case it got too cold so that you could sit outside and enjoy the beauty of the coast. The experience was not what you would find on a larger ship or cruise line so do keep that in mind if you want a party boat. I would take this voyage over any large ship experience.
