Just…wow. ❤

This is the best Celebrity class of ship unless you must have "the Retreat" or the newest cruise ship class or latest tech or small theater shows in Eden and Eden experience. Otherwise, it offers everything the Edge offers plus a Sky Lounge, intimate smaller lounges, true Celebrity retro-modern style and not generic trendy that defines the Edge in most of its spaces, and deck space access most people can enjoy (but Celebrity seems to want to make more "Retreat" spaces and take away from the this). I only wish it didn't make Michael's Club, a once fun and fine piano room spot, a Retreat only lounge. The Martini Bar with the ice surface, the hanging tree, the library and card room in the open atrium, the many quiet spaces, the Lawn Club, the deck spaces, the secondary show room, all of this adds up to a very well-designed ship. The only issue is the canned music piped into the ship and sometimes the activities in the Grand Foyer going up to the quieter spaces like the library. I doubt Celebrity will make a ship like this again and that's a shame.

Hoppen's designs are boring IMO. I don't see the appeal. Enjoy your retreats. But Celebrity, keep your class system on your Edge ships. Don't pollute the Solstice class with this. Bad enough Michael's Club was taken away.

What a great review…Howdy from Texas!

CHILE IS THE HAPPY COPY OF EDEN

CHILE. ES LA COPIA FELIZ DEL EDEN. ❤🇨🇱❤

The Fjords is a dream of mine. And as ships become more emissions free, I’m sure it’ll be more possible, especially on smaller ships. Though there is something about QM2 and the fjords that just seem like a match made. Alas. The Trollfjord’s retro appearance is so swish! The cantilevered bay windowed grand suites is giving Norwegian Majesty. Like. They need to bring those kinds of staterooms back! From 2002, but I love the late ‘80s look. You’d never know the way they’ve swished up the interiors, though. And, oh, that two deck high observation lounge!! This ship insists on generous views of the outside. Something some of the modern ships are just lacking. And they’re huge! You guys need to visit the Queen Mary one day! She ain’t what she used to be..fer now, but I always love the take of a classic British ocean liner from authentic, swish British adventurers. The SS Rotterdam, too, for that matter. She needs a visit from yens guys as well. Rich really should be the next Bond, now that I think about it.

Your trip is not for average tourists.

How much cost your room hotel ?

Your videos are unmatched. Truly outstanding and beautifully executed. Your voice alone draws attention.

Flew LAX to LHR yesterday on 'Dreamliner' upper class. Started badly with 2 hour delay due to incoming flight unable to find suitable discharge point and moored on distant runway requiring boarding by bus. Upper class cabin badly designed with slanting pod-like seats with little privacy. Virtually no storage space around seat and iPhone etc points hidden. TV screen v small and not easy to adjust. Worst of all you have to request cabin staff to prepare 'bed' , not particularly comfortable, and same staff demolish bed before breakfast. Toilets are shared with premium economy. Food and drink aplenty and staff helpful but overstretched.I would not fly upper class with Virgin 'dreamliner' again.

They don’t do S’mores in England???

As a lifelong Alaskan living in Juneau (born in Kodiak, raised in Haines) I enjoy watching these kinds of videos, seeing Alaska through the eyes of tourists. Yours did not disappoint! Great job, very entertaining and informative! BTW, those bears were eating the eggs from the salmon before throwing them away…the richest, fattiest, parts!

Super vlog and now can’t wait for the next one. We are booked for July 25, both ways. Xx

Regent is our absolute FAVORITE! Just returned form an amazing Asian cruise (Hong Kong to Bangkok)!

Outstanding! This looks like the way I want to see the Fiords. What time of year did you go? When would you recommend?

👏👏👏

We took this exact cruise in July, 2024. It was fabulous! Great video that let us re-live this fabulous journey on the MS Trollfjord! Will be following for future videos.

In February we go on board of this ship. We did already the Explora II 2 months ago. Its the same replica from the Explora1. So its will be easy to feel back again and enjoy the luxury.

The ship looks fantastic and I love the surprise lunches and dinners in Rost, what a very cool idea.

Ok my take. Every single restaurant looked lovely and most of the food delish. And of course your presentation with superlative as always. But as someone with an allergy (and not the only person in the world) I was disappointed that when I froze the menu scenes I did not find any even basic allergy information such as indicating nut or dairy. Only plant based. Which given other lines do that is disappointing for a 5 star small ship line. I know you can ask a waiter no doubt but to sit there and say ‘that, and what about that, and that’ is embarrassing for both passenger and time consuming for the service staff.

Looks fantastic, doing it with Azamara 2025.

I'm absolutely desperate to try one of these Hurtigruten trips - they look absolutely incredible. The fact you can 'tick off' so many places on one of their cruises is astounding!

A regional cruise brand, with regional food and chefs, with regional produce… YES!! After all, that is why we travel, for new experiences and flavours and stories.

Your experienced and consistently well produced travel reports might not (yet) be flavoured by the algorithm - but for those of us who have found them anyway they are truly exceptional. There's nothing quite like it on KZbin. Your narrating voice alone is worth watching.

Hi Helen and Rich. Hmm, inquiring minds want to know, Trollfjord in Antarctica cruising the Lemaire Channel, a Yay or a Nay ??? I think she might do quite well in that environment too. And probably much cheaper than the cruise you paid for to get there on your trip down to the White Continent.

Top tier video - I was worried about the cuisine coming from the West Coast of Canada. I have to say the food looks delicious. I am sold.

I remember asking you all about cruising with Hurtigruten a bit ago during one of your live events. I was thrilled when you mentioned sailing with the line. I trust your reviews a great deal. Thanks for this!

Stunning views and a surprising luxury. Just WOW 😍

Not sure how I missed this!

Yay! We have been so looking forward to these, as you know! ;-) Thank you

I was fortunate to take this trip in September. I was slightly apprehensive that after over 32 cruises I might be spending a lot of money for a tarted up ferry. I was wrong. The Svalbard trip was the best cruise I have ever experienced, and I am saving to go again. The ship is sturdy, the accommodations perfect for me (window, but not a suite), the food was superb, the staff exceptional, the shop was the best at sea, and the scenery and stops spectacular. Thank you for making this video where I saw several familiar crew faces. I can’t wait to go again!

Thanks for the review. I have been looking at doing a Norwegian cruise this way!

Derbyshire/Notts... Bolton? Tsk tsk tsk! ;)

Thank you so much for watching! It really does mean the world to us! Please give this video a THUMBS UP, please SUBSCRIBE and please leave us a comment too as we'd love to know your thoughts and value your feedback (oh and also we’d LOVE to hear from you). R&H x

I don’t like sitting with people so can you request a table for 2?

Omg take a breath..don’t know where one sentence stops and another starts….

We absolutely want to book this for our next cruise. We were wondering if we should do the Danube Christmas Market cruise or the regular Danube River Cruise near the end of November. I know there is a price difference, but that's about all I know. Do you have any advice? We adore each and every one of your videos!!

I think it looks just lovely. The nordic balcony/infinate balcony really works for a nordic cruise I think. For a more tropical/warm destination I’d prefer a classical balcony, preferably with a hammock like on virgin😉

We were on The SS Sphinx the same week you were there. Uniworld has indeed added an optional night tour of the Souk but we did not do it.
