Norway and Iceland 4 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2023
Undoubtedly the best holiday we have had. The Rotterdam is a new ship so everything was clean and worked. The staff were beyond praise - nothing was too difficult and they went out of their way to make the experience an unforgettable one. The locality certainly helped. It is one thing to read a description of a Norwegian fjord - it is entirely different ...read more to actually be in one. This cruise took us deep into several stunning examples. The Captain even executed a 360 degree turn in one so that the full experience was open to every point on the ship. Onboard, there was something for everyone, even a grumpy old curmudgeon like me. Food was great, a wide range of drinks catered for all and the entertainment was excellent. Totally recommend the whole package.
