SAZ3 Posted August 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Hi! My travel companion and I are tossing around a Northern lights cruise in the fall of 2019 or winter if 2020. We are comparing the experience on the Trollfjord and the Lofoten. We don't mind missing the glam or even giving up the Jacuzzi, but the science talks on the Trollfjord might be a loss if we go with the more intimate experience of the Lofoten Any thoughts appreciated. My friend and I are single women in our 50s. I am a lifelong US American my friend was raised in Eastern Europe & moved to the US 30 years ago, so she is experienced with European travel. (I have only been to Europe once) We both prefer exploring more off the beaten path travel with a touch of adventure and this is a mutual "bucket list" item.

Danish viking Posted August 30, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Lofoten is very basic but you will get a more charming trip compared to the mini cruise ship that Trollfjord is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarniaLo Posted August 30, 2018 #3 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Have a look at the dedicated forum section for Hurtigruten : https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=821 You will find heaps of info there (and can ask your question, you will find more people with Hurtigruten experience). I have traveled on both ships and agree with above advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallasm Posted August 30, 2018 #4 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Agree - I'm booked at Trollfjord next January - do find Lofoten a bit too 'old time' - 60s-inspired menus and retro-style uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAZ3 Posted August 31, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Thank you for the replies! I am a bit of a novice on this site. I will try the dedicated forum (thanks for the link) "Charming" sounds nice. Sent from my SM-G920T using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
