This floating basecamp will be your home away from home as you explore the world around you. MS Maud has everything you need, ensuring you are ready to discover a world away from ordinary. It's the perfect size ship: big enough for a range of onboard facilities but small enough to sail close to the coast for breathtaking views and to access areas larger ships can't reach.
It was a magical trip! The crew was perfect, everything extremely well organized. My cabin was good enough for 1 person but not sure for 2. Food was delicious and they were amazing in taking care of my special dietary needs. We were very lucky with the weather as well and we were able to land in the majority of the planned stops. It was the last trip from MS MAUD to west Greenland and it was really magical! We had a cultural ambassador on board and it really helped understanding more about this amazing country and its people. We were only 127 on board which made all the experiences smoother. Expeditions were good and well organized. The expedition team as a whole was very knowledgeable and the sessions of lecture and plans for tomorrow are extremely useful and interesting. Based on this experience I would sail again with HX. The only thing that I did not appreciate is that HX is giving us a different jacket/coat than the regular red one since HX is changing the companies brand and it is not nice that we have 4 different jackets in the landings - hard to find our group in case we need it… HX should fix it…
Having travelling with Hurtigruten previously and had an excellent experience, we chose them for the Northern Lights trip. The trip was excellent with different excursions and a a superb expedition team making the whole trip informative, inspiring and interesting. During the visit we managed to see the Northern Lights as well as stunning scenery, whales and other wildlife and go on interesting hikes and visits with the expedition team. Onboard the ship was exceptionally clean with excellent service and superb food and plenty of different areas to sit and relax. The expeditions were all excellent varying from hikes to sightseeing visits to local town. The trip on the ships zodiacs were brilliant and made the trip much better than a standard cruise. The overall quality of everyone and everything onboard, from general service to quality and variety of food and interest from the various lectures and different destination made from an overall great trip.
This cruise was absolutely fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful. The expeditions were super well organised and extremely interesting. The expedition crew were so knowledgeable, informative, funny and inspiring! Best science lessons I have ever experienced! Field trips are so exciting - for any age! The underwater drone was fascinating especially when looking at shipwrecks and the sea beds, watching starfish, lug worms and all forms of fish move etc. Plenty of interesting talks on the species of whale, birds and vegetation that we witnessed seeing in their natural habitats. The food was excellent with plenty of choice. Loads of fresh fruits, freshly cooked meals, salads and of course fish! Suitable for vegan, vegetarian and meat eaters! I would recommend taking lighter clothes for on board as the ship was very warm. And definitely need hiking boots or shoes with a decent grip! I am now saving towards my next trip with hurtigruten!
