What to expect from P&O’s new Adonia
While any chance to cruise to Norway’s fjords is a trip worth taking, one aspect of this voyage that piqued my curiosity was the ship itself. Adonia is the latest ship to join the P&O fleet – and notice, I didn’t say newest. Formerly under sail for Princess Cruises, Adonia joined P&O this past May. [...]

Elusive Northern Lights: Wasted Arctic trek?
By day six aboard the MS Trollfjord, cruising with Hurtigruten along Norway’s fjord-fringed coast, I was definitely getting the Arctic landscapes I’d come for. As we sailed into Kirkenes, a Norwegian frontier town of sorts within miles of Russia’s border, and the final port of call on this trip, the bow of the Trollfjord parted [...]

A sign on deck nine aboard Hurtigruten’s MS Trollfjord echoes a sentiment I’m starting to feel just might be truth as much as advertising. It says: “Hunting the Light: The Most Beautiful Voyage in the World.” During the past few days, Norway’s coastal villages have unfolded like a Scandinavian storybook—yellow, red and blue wooden houses [...]

Join us on a Northern Lights cruise in Norway!
Like many cruise travelers happy to fly across an ocean only to board a ship and take to the seas, my bucket list is a long and diverse one. But when I had the chance to check two big ticket items off it this winter–seeing the Northern Lights and going dogsledding across a polarscape–on a [...]
