I am considering a cruise along the coast of Norway in October or November on Hurtigruten. It’s seven days going north, and six days going south. It stops in the same 34 ports both directions, but daytime ports one direction become nighttime ports the other direction. So is one direction better?
Is there any advantage to taking a smaller ship, like getting closer to the shore for the scenery? Is there a disadvantage with a greater chance of seasickness or some other reason?
I would like to see the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). What are the chances of seeing them on a six day cruise in October or November? My research says it’s not guaranteed, but is it 10% or 90%?
