Itinerary is Southampton, Norway, Northern Lights back to Southampton - 12 nights. We are seasoned travelers, done a few Ferry Crossings England to Ireland for example. Sailed a little but no open ocean. We will bring Seasickness medication in addition to Stella and Wine, just in case.
We completely understand that we may be a bit early for seeing the Northern Lights but that is not a deal breaker.
If the cruise goes well and we both like the experience, I'd love to do a longer cruise, Maybe Australia, Japan, New Zealand. Obviously throw a Transatlantic crossing in too. The cost is more than I originally thought. I was looking at Viking and Cunard and just opted for Cunard as I am from England originally and appreciate the "British focus".
