Have been on Hurtigruten to see the Midnight Sun . The food was very good, the staff outstanding and the sights were brilliant.
The only drawback is that the ship is a Norway ship with Norway prices so beware. IF we had wine it was £34 pounds a bottle (the cheapest) and beer £6 per half litre and that was 3 years ago. Coffee and water if I remember correctly, was sold in a package after boarding.
My advice is to choose a Fred Olsen small ship or an American ship where the prices are fairly reasonable and in Pounds or Dollars;and eat and drink ON the ship ; NOT on the shore. Scenery is magnificent !!
