Ooooh!
What itinerary is that, for 15 days?
We took the Norwegian Coastal Round Trip, in the Trollfjord, and we have *such* fond memories. The scenery was spectacular. We may have had a bit more snow, as our sailing was late Feb to early March.
Probably at least in part because we weren't sure just what to expect, it was a real delight and one of our favorite cruises ever. ("Ferry", to us, conjured up memories of the Staten Island Ferry, etc.... Heh.)
The foreward Observation Lounge is two stories high, and those windows were just perfect for that scenery.
The Northern Lights, when they are visible, are usually
not quite like they show up in many photos. They can be more of a gray in some cases. It was still absolutely wonderful.
Enjoy!!
