Of course this will depend somewhat on which ships are leaving when, but I won't know that until next year. Also I will need one-way airfare between OSL and KKN regardless of which direction I go, so that's not a factor. If you could give me any advice I'd really appreciate it!
M/S Finnmarken is for the season(2010) on a mission in Australia. I'm not sure how long she would be gone
Hi.
Northbound is to prefer for the reasons that are mentioned above.
I have been traveling more than 20 times on shorter trips on hutigruten for transport prupoes. All the ships generations considered, and I prefer the ship MS Finnmarken.
It is not really a ship that is in one generation.. It stand out, like MS Fram I would say(without been on MS Fram). IMHO it is the ship that are a looker, except the really old one.

If you have some questions, I would be happy to answer. Have a nice trip.
