Emma. You always do great videos. But both my partner and I find it really difficult to keep up with the speed of your speech (and we are southerners). Is there any chance you can speak a little slower or breathe between sentences?

[@firecat-dy9go]

Hi, Emma! This cruise looked awesome. And I loved the dress that you wore to dinner but I cannot find it on the shopping list. Please, could you provide a link? Thank you in advance! ❤

[@marieleelee]

This looks like the perfect cruise. I’m not a big fan of parties or loud entertainment. Doing puzzles while the snow is coming down and being able to see so many ports seems ideal.

[@jameshodgetts7541]

Absolutely this. Now I know this is actually a thing, cruising doesn't seem so daunting at all. Would much rather be doing this than spending a week on a floating nightclub with unlimited cookies and hangovers...

[@norascholar7749]

I want to try it too. The introvert’s dream cruise!

[@starkiller18]

there is something very relaxing about playing a board game or doing a puzzle while enjoying a hot cup of coffee/tea while watching the snow come down. I have a cabin that is only accessible by snow mobile in the winter and there is nothing as relaxing as heading up for a few days in the dead of winter and disconnecting from most of the outside world reading or watching a movie while it blizzards outside with aa wood burning fireplace heating the cabin.

[@yngveamundsen5184]

Friend, For us who grew up with these ships, we don't define it as a "cruise". It's more a way of transportation, dating back to the days when roads on the coast of (northern) Norway were few and far between, the days when people used boats instead of cars. The coastal steamer route as we know it started in 1893, covering ports from Trondheim to Tromsø and was essential for the communities along the coast, carrying passengers and freight. So for us, it was/is like taking a bus or an airplane is for others. During the years that has passed, the route has been extended, down to Bergen and up to Kirkenes and calls on 34 ports. Even today its role is very much the same, carrying passengers and cargo from A to B. But it's also called "the world's most beautiful sea journey", and I totally agree! A round trip from Bergen to Kirkenes and back takes 11 days and is a memory for life! It's a time to relax, without the stress of other cruises to always be participating in events and activities, it's a time of "calm experiences" so to speak. Go in summer and you'll see the midnight sun, go in winter and experience the snow blowing horizontally. :D But take that trip, you will be glad you did! Bon voyage! :)

[@beenaturalinc]

Made my day, Emma! Last time I was in Oslo, some guy I met on the train found out I was a sailor (as he turned out to be as well). He gave me the combination for the lock on his sailboat in the harbor to use as a base. I stayed for weeks. I was asked to speak in a high school there about life in the US. They paid me to do it and it was like I'd died and gone to a snowy heaven. I love your posts, but more than that I love your attitude and patience with others. Thanks!

[@EmmaCruises]

Oh wow, that's so cool! Thank you so much for your kind words. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

[@owensmith7530]

The people in Norway are lovely, it's such a safe place.

[@rossfortini1856]

So adorable to hear your amazement at the snow throwers that the crew used to clear the decks...many of us northern US residents have one of them sitting in our garages every winter to clear our drives and sidewalks, so it's as common as a lawn mower! So cool to consider someone may have seen one for the first time as an adult!

[@michaelcole-hamer607]

In the UK, we very rarely get enough snow to warrant that kind of thing lol, so it's fascinating to see

[@taraoakes6674]

Yep, in the Midwest of the US, if you have a sizable driveway it’s imperative to have a snow blower. It’ll not only save your back, but for many older adults it could help prevent a heart attack. There is a reason we call the heavier, slushy snow “heart attack snow”.

[@pomme800]

You call it a snow thrower, not a snowblower?🇨🇦

I love cruising and Emma's perspective. Her hard work and sharing is truly amazing..

[@robburgess4556]

"They had these little machines that would fire the snow overboard" 🤣 They're called snowblowers and here in Canada pretty much every house house has one (unless they live in Vancouver or Victoria British Columbia).

This is now my favorite video of yours, dethroning the other ferry from Stockholm to Helsinki. I live on an island in the US and am quite used to taking the ferry. I think that's why I find cruising fascinating, despite never having been on a cruise. Ferries are our lifeline here, fun to see a way to get from here to there elevated via cruising.

[@tiniselles]

I did the whole trip in the beginning of May 2016, Bergen to Kirkenes and back. One of my best vacations ever 😊. In 12 days we had just one afternoon with some drizzle, the rest was blue skies. Hardly any wind, so smooth sailing. And temperatures on land were in average 10 degrees Celsius.

[@marcokeller3575]

Emma, you are so cute. "Little machines that clear the snow" those are fairly standard for many Canadian homes, we call them snowblowers. We use them to clear our driveway and sidewalks. Also, there are many here (not me) who do wear shorts in -10C and even -20C. We get to -30 C with no problem. The problem is the wind, the wind creates windchill which makes it feel like -40 or -50C. Great video!

[@roguered706]

😂 I was coming to make the same comment. I'm from Northeast Wisconsin and using a snowblower is such regular thing, but it's so charming to see her reaction.

For taking pictures in cold like this, your best bet is to get gloves/mittens where you can remove the mitten part or remove the tips of certain fingers while the rest of your hand and fingers are still covered and warm.

Funny that you haven’t seen snow blowers before! Looks like a typical North American winter there, icicles and all. 😊

What is a North American winter? I'd think winters differ quite a bit from for example Mexico City to Manitoba.

[@barbarajeffries]

Thank you! A whole new idea for cruising opened in my mind. 😻

[@rowaystarco]

The coastal route of Norway is a very traditional one. Norway has the second longest coastline in the world, so ships were naturally huge (and still is) for Norway. The competitor that used to have a monopoly on the routes actually still even use a ship from the 50ies for some cruises, I think mostly to Svalbard.

[@EmmaCruises]

Ok, now, this is a cruise I'd do.... this looks fantastic, and just imagine doing this in the summer too. A working ferry visiting many locations where it's a lifeline to those living there and those wanting to travel around Norway. Very similar to some of our excellent ferries off Scotland where they are multi-stops and are the form of connective travel.

[@sethwaters8181]

I would be the guy in shorts. I went 2years without wearing pants while driving a motorcycle even in the snow. I went to a district meeting in pants at the request of my manager and my district boss said “it is not right to see you in pants”

[@yngveamundsen5184]

Hm, I thought there was something familiar with the first port pictures (3 secs into the video, and the first port you talk about after Tromsø), and behold! It's from Risøyhamn, Andøya, the island where I grew up! :) Yes, the trip from Bergen to Hammerfest is called the world's most beautiful sea journey, and I agree! Wether you sail in summer or winter, you will get memories for the rest of your life! At times violent seas in the winter, the midnight sun in the summer... I often traveled with what was then called Hurtigruten, the coastal steamer, with my mom when I was a kid, both during summer and winter, and the ships weren't as comfortable then as they are now. Many times during winter we had to brace ourselves in the bunk to prevent from falling out! But nevertheless, you could rely on the coastal steamer ships to always be on its way, and get you there. If you haven't done so already, I'd suggest you'd take a trip with "MS Nordstjernen" (North Star) around Svalbard. This ship was once a part of the coastal steamer fleet and I've travelled with her many times. And thank you very much for this video, it brought up fond memories from my childhood.

[@EfficientRVer]

It is extremely funny to see what Emma thinks is a huge amount of snow, and how she describes a snowblower after never needing to learn the word for it. Even growing up near NYC, we had one starting over 50 years ago. Having lived in New England for 48 years, I can't imagine not having one. But this year, in New Hampshire, I got mine ready to use this winter, and have not used it. We only had a snowfall approaching a foot deep one time this winter, and it was fluffy enough to just push with a big shovel. The ground is free of snow now, while some years at this time, there might still be snow 2 feet deep in the yard and snowbanks 5 feet high next to the road. Very interesting ship and cruise. In a way, very expensive per day for what it is. But in another way, maybe worth it for the different experience and the lack of crowds. Judging from how happy Emma looked, evaluating only objective measures of value for money, would be a mistake. What is the proper price for making someone happy and positively radiant?

[@yngveamundsen5184]

First of all, to make someone happy and positively radiant is PRICELESS! :) Second, ,I grew up on the island shown 3 seconds into the video, (the first port Emma sees after Tromsø) and I recall winters there in the 70s with over 11' (yes, eleven feet!) of snow. The communities would only shut down when the plowtrucks couldn't handle the snow anymore and the roads were closed, and that was a rare occasion.

[@kevanhubbard9673]

Some of those ships go even further than Tromso right around to Kirkenes which is really close to the Russian border.Because of it's exposure to the North Atlantic Drift that sea down the west Coast of Norway doesn't freeze so if you want to see frozen sea around there go to the Baltic Sea and I was once on a ferry between Helsinki and Tallin that got stuck in ice in the Baltic.

[@EmmaCruises]

Yesss this ship did do that. Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

[@Dan-fo9dk]

All the 11 ships that serves the coastal route goes all the way from Bergen to Kirkenes...and back. She simply took a southbound ship from Tromsø down to Bergen. You don't need to take a full round trip. You can book whatever distance you like ...just like the locals do.

[@pomme800]

Emma, you felt warmer at the same temperature on the ferry because of less humidity in the air...that's why I find sunny but much colder days in Canada more comfortable ( with a duvet coat) than the humid cold and dreary skies that freeze you to the bone...unfortunately , that's what we are getting more and more often now.

Great video. Very similar to the Hurtigruten one we did about 5 years ago, although that was an older ship. We went right at the start of January and it was amazing to see that amount of snow and that life just carried on, unlike it does in the UK after a couple of millimeters. You should have tried the hot-tubs, we did twice while in the Arctic circle, its amazing sitting there with snow falling on you watching the amazing views, only issue was having to get out of them onto the snow covered deck. Have another one booked for this winter with Hurtigruten doing Bergen - Kirkness - Bergen like we did last time. Did not know when we booked that there was a second company now doing the trip, so will compare them next time we go.

[@kathyreston9933]

Having lived in north central BC (Canada) for over 20 years I can say you get used to driving on snow. If you don't, you would be house bound. I should make the point that snow in those climates is different than what you would find where you are from, Emma. It tends to be kind of sticky, unless you go through a thaw/freeze cycle when a skiff of snow covering the ice will be treacherous. I suspect locals even wear something to prevent falling on ice (penguin walk helps but is slow). By the way you would also get used to the -15c temperatures too, you just need to adjust your wardrobe (wool clothes help).

Hugely enjoyed watching today Thank you for bringing all those happy smiles, fun with snow, lots of excellent information and a renewed urge to do that route again and get on the ships. :-)

[@seegee8564]

I was meant to be going on the Northern Lights cruise on MS Maud in December (midwinter). Unfortunately, there was a freak wave in the North Sea when the ship was near Denmark (towards the end of its previous trip), which damaged the navigation systems, so our journey was cancelled.😢 Everyone on board was OK, though they had an unexpected visit to Bremen, where they were towed to after MS Maud was unable to continue to Tilbury. As I already had train tickets and a bed booked in London, I took an overnight bag & wandered through some of the Christmas lights. The following day I had a good walk around & visited an exhibition before leaving London late afternoon for home... making my cancelled holiday into a mini-break instead. Maybe this year if I'm lucky...

Haha I can believe it!! Thanks for watching 😀👏🏼

Very insightful! I was just researching northern lights cruises. This trip sounds appealing albeit expensive for an American (Tromso & Bergen) arrival departure. I love chop at sea, the more the merrier. Retired sailor 😊

Im dying to know if the UK/all these European countries Emma visits still have the original Pepsi Max. I was completely addicted to it until a few years ago when they changed the taste to make it more like "regular Pepsi" and secretly cut the caffeine content almost in half. 😢 I havent touched it since.

Great video about a very interesting and fun cruise! I would take this cruise if I lived in the neighborhood. Thanks Emma for sharing your adventure with us.

[@EmmaCruises]

Woohoo! Thank you! 😁❤️

Norway actually has a goal that cruise ships had to bee environmental friendly to get into some. Fjords/Tourists Hotspots in 20??

[@aZiDtrip]

Norway is an expensive place. drinks package for 50 units 5995 nok thats like 11 usd for one pepsi max!! crazy! 😅

What would happen if you can’t access Pepsi Max or Coke on cruise or land during a trip, could you cope? lol. I would love to take this trip, one for the bucket list.

This is great. My wife and I are considering a cruise similar to this. I also notice your smile is wider than usual while outside. Perhaps it is frozen wider? Great video, thank you!

I have only been on a cruise once and that was with Hurtigruten from Bergen to Kirkenes including a visit to the North Cape. We did an excursion every day to see as much as possible. It was so cool! I like the fact that these ships aren’t that big as normal cruise ships are. And such an interesting history this route has.

8:35 Those are not the first ports. You missed out the ports of Finnsnes, Harstad and possibly Risøyhamn. Finnsnes is reached by 5am so it's understandable but still you left out 3 ports.

[@nicholashall4625]

On my bucket list. Thanks for sharing 🙏

[@billbeyatte]

Thanks for the video. I'm thinking about taking this cruise.
