EmmaN Posted March 24, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Another question about our Classic Winter Voyage North in Jan next year. Looking at their trips there is a snowmobile trip which seems to go from Mehamn but we dock in Kjøllefjord has anyone done it? Do you get your own snow mobile or do you have to share? Does the boat leave Kjøllefjord and dock again in Mehamn? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsecruising Posted April 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I know this is probably late, but if you go Hurtigruten the snowmobile excursion in Kjollejord was a complete waste of money. It lasted less than an hour (advertised 2 1/2) and the speeds were no greater than 15km/hr. Some of the others were very nice, but the Viking Feast and this one is not worth it, even at half the price... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmmaN Posted April 28, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Thanks we went in Feb, shame you did not enjoy the Viking Feast we enjoyed that and the guide on the Coach was brilliant.

seahorsecruising Posted June 16, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We really liked the North Cape tour; Dog-Sledding w/reindeer ride, and Trondheim Cathedral. With the Cathedral tour, we took the bus there and walked back to the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSF Cruiser Posted June 16, 2014 #6 Share Posted June 16, 2014 We loved the dog sledding in Kirkenes - while at the location there was time to tour the ice hotel and see the reindeer. The sled ride goes around a frozen lake. We enjoyed the midnight concert at the arctic cathedral - beautiful music is a rather unique setting. Some in our group really liked the viking feast, while others thought it was just OK. The feast is a re-enactment of a viking meal, complete with Viking hosts. We also toured the ice sculptures in Svolvaer - definitely worthwhile. In the other ports, we walked around on our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
