An observation for anyone who is considering the few remaining cabins, which will mostly be the inside ones without a window. These are usually considered less desirable on cruises, but at the time of year and scheduled destinations we found an inside cabin an advantage because of the long daylight hours near and above the arctic circle...

As you leave Stavanger the sun will be up shortly after 4am and not set until just before 11pm and the nautical twilight lasts all night. At Namsos the sun will rise at 2.30am and set at midnight with the twilight extending throughout the short 'night'. By the time you get to your most northerly destination at Honningsvåg on the 25 June, which is 500km above the Arctic Circle, the sun will not set and will not do so again until 20th Sept.

We were more than happy to sleep in an inside cabin that didn't have a window that let in all that sun 24hrs a day while paying less for that benefit. There are ample lounge areas with good outlooks onboard that are always open if and whenever you want to do that, so we didn't find the need for that in our cabin.

Just 80 days to go and still some cabins available that are now at 25% off discount!
