Thanks!
Beautiful !
I love Oslo! We did the floating sauna cruise! I’ve uploaded an Oslo travel film too if anyone needs anymore encouragement to go 🏊🏼♂️🌞
The floating saunas are becoming so popular these days! Thanks for watching 🙌
Hi. Do you get to choose your seats? Which side has the better view? Many thanks
Yes, you choose your seats when booking. The journey is so long that I'm not sure there's a better side. Definitely the left side when leaving Trondheim, but there's so much to see along the whole route 🙌
Thanks for making this. I've spent the last few days in the city. Really enjoyed the tram ride and walk around the lakes and woods. As a swimmer the Pirbadet complex is fantastic and you are lucky to have this. Rockheim pop museum could perhaps have been mentioned, I spent a fun few hours in there while it was raining outside.
Glad you enjoyed it! I do regret not including Rockheim but perhaps I'll make an updated version next year :) I've spent many an enjoyable morning in Pirbadet too! Thanks for watching 🙌
Amazing tour! Thanks so much :)
In 2017 we sailed with our 34 feet sailboat from the Netherlands to Honningsvåg. Left our boat there for a few days and take the Hurtigruten to Kirkenes. We managet to get a visum to Russia and visited several places in Rusland. Then go back by Hurtigruten to our sailboat in Honningsvåg and after a long sailing around the Nordkapp and going south we are back home.
Wow, what a wonderful journey! Thanks for watching - and sharing 🙌
Thanks for this! I’ve been eying this cruise. ❤️🛳️
I hope it's helped answer some questions. Thanks for watching! 🙌
Going on MS Nordnorge next week and this answered many of my questions - great work
Then my job is done! Thanks for watching, and have a great trip 🙌
Only had a chance to see Vigeland Park, but wish I had seen more. Library and Opera House were amazing!
🙏สวัสดีครับแอดมิน👨🌾 ~♡~FC. Life In Norway~♡~ ~💕~ทุกคนทุกท่านครับ~💕~ 👨🌾ฉันมาขอร่วมเยี่ยมชมดูวิดีโอ ด้วยครับ🙋 ~.~💕~♡~💕~.~ ~.~♡~💕~♡~.~
What a beautiful and peaceful place. But I would guess , cold and raw in winter. 😊
Yes, the psychopaths really turned me off, but the beauty of the city told me the psychopaths may not be so bad. I like the bar that had the sign, "Live by the sun". I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking. I can see why you chose to live there. It's gorgeous! The cathedral reminds me of Chartre in France. Love vids. Love the podcast. Love the weekly writing. Thanks for all you do.
A load of freeloaders walking the streets of Bergen, what a damn shame
Hello Captain Hudson
Love this! Thanks for sharing! How long total will it take to do the walk and arrive back at the funicular to take in back down?
I like MSC's smaller ship the most.
Excellent tour! Thank you so much. I take it from Dubai next spring through the middle east and on to Europe. I hope it's not cancelled like before.
In case someone is reading from abroad, this road is closed for the year, thus do not plan for it.

Thank you David again for uploading videos in summer. May I suggest a podcast topic in the future? Takk!
Tusen Takk! I'll be on the Polaris in late September and am excited to (try to!) pronounce the route and port names correctly 🤣 Great video! Takk, Navigator Andreassen!!
Was recently in Oslo on the way to Bergen and went to the Vigeland Park. Truly magnificent. It’s the second time I have been to Oslo. What an interesting city. Thank you for these videos.
l love you norway
How many hours needed to see the park?
Great video, thank you! My husband and I enjoyed a fabulous three days in Oslo last November. We had a wonderful time at The National Museum and enjoyed a delicious lunch there too. Loved The Munch museum and the views from there of the city. Enjoyed exploring the waterfront and getting up early to see the sunrise and enjoy a floating sauna in the harbour. I hope to return and see more of the amazing places in your video, loved Oslo ☺
Great video, I am a tour operator and we have never done a cruise before and thought you gave a really good persepctive. I am leaning towards smaller ships now, thanks for the great upload! What month did you prefer to go on these cruises? thanks!
It's beautiful but it seems that a lot of the infrastructure might be threatened by sea level rise. 😕
Curious question, when the northern lights were present did the ship turn off any of the deck lighting to make it easier to see? I ran into that issue while on a recent Alaska cruise.
Beautiful Norway. Thanks for sharing your walk. Like 69. Your newest sub❤️👍
My great grandfather was from Bergen.He came to the United States when he was 16. I am sure I have distant relatives in Norway. I would love to live in Norway.I am jealous because it is so beautiful.,I have a few cousins that studied in Norway.I found out that our family were vikings.
I was intrigued by Felix Scopulus' tower, since there were never any Romans or Roman buildings in Scandinavia. So I googled. Turns out the whole thing is made up - an art project.
Great video, but I have one or two questions. We are thinking of booking this for end of September. Have you been to the port of Hellesylt? If you have, what sightseeing excursion would you recommend? The other 2 ports it will stop at are Alesund and flám. Thank you
Incredible what the petrochemical industry money can bring you. 🛢️🛢️🛢️🛢️
Make it easier to get to Bodo - improve transport and accommodations. Affordability is an issue. What are you doing to attract x pats to move and live in Bodo? Incentives are needed. It's a safe community with amenities; thus, people can retire or work / live. This is key for a place that's dark, windy and cold. Incentives for x pats.
I like it. What is the price of this trip? Thank you.
Thanks, David. We did go on the Hurtigruten from Bødo to Svolvær and that was sufficient for us. We really don't agree that so many of the bigger cruise ships are allowed down the fjords, but how else will so many get to see them when alternate means of travel may not have the capacity?
I thought they were going to ban those ghastly massive ships from the inner fjords, due to massive air pollution from their engines.
Me again! On the FreddyO website, Ocean view cabins are approx 213ft², interior cabins approx 184ft². Thats about 3x10ft difference. I've stayed in the interior cabin and looking at the video here, I cannot see where that extra 30 feet² is coming from! I've also checked the 360⁰ Panoramic viewers on the FreddyO website. The cabins look identical. I'm guessing you've been in both more or less back to back for the review, so could you spot any difference in size? Thanks!
I've only stayed in the ocean view cabin so I can't say. The inside cabins look more or less the same size to me. Perhaps contact Fred Olsen directly? I'm sure they will be able to tell you.
in contemplating a norwegian cruise, coming from the u.s., i have found your videos to be a great source of information. and i like your calm demeanor. one thing i learned from watching this video is that i am very much leaning towards havila. i am definitely not the floating holiday camp sort of person. at. all. yikes!
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind comments! I loved both the MSC and Havila trips, and yes they are very much for different kinds of people I'd say. Have a great trip!
Why does Norway allow these huge ships???
I think their policy for cruise ships is changing very soon by limiting the number of ships and possibly allowing zero emission vessels only. We went to Flåm by train in the wintertime and took the smaller ferry to the fjord, then a snowshoe tour the following day. It was quiet, quaint, no crowds & very beautiful (& cold).. 😊
😍
One of the pizzas you showed had a grey base?.....do you know what it was made of??
It’s called a charcoal base pizza, how it’s made I’m not sure exactly but it is fantastic 😋
Love it David, it looks like you had a great time, your videos are getting better and better mate 👍 I look forward to seeing your next installments 😊
Thank you so much! Longer videos from Flåm and Nordfjordeid to come, amongst others 😁 I hope you’re both well, and thanks for watching as always 🙌
Thanks, very helpful
No worries, I hope it helps in planning your own trip. Thanks for watching! 🙌
Very enjoyable vlog - Thank you.
You’re most welcome, thanks for watching!
Enjoy your summer, David! Thank you for uploading videos. I like your podcasts a lot
Thanks so much! There’ll be videos published throughout the summer, although the podcast is taking a break 😁 Thanks as always for watching 🙌
Wow awesome ❤
There’s a lot to see and do, that’s for sure! Thanks for watching 🙌
Nice to be able to enjoy a video with no commentary when no commentary is necessary. Thank you.
You're welcome! These videos aren't to everyone's taste but I know there's plenty of people who enjoy them. I enjoy making them and I hope they provide a bit of peace amid the chaos of KZread! Thanks for watching :)
