NORTHERN


​ EUROPEAN


CRUISE


19th September 2013 - 1st October 2013

It took me a couple of weeks to decide to go on this holiday. No planning done at all.

Nathan was not interested in going and I had wanted to take another cruise and came across this one from the Norwegian Cruise Line.  15 Day round trip from Copenhagen up to Norway and Iceland.  I booked the cheapest interior cabin, this then allowed the cruise line to move me to where they could fit me.  I paid for the lowest level and ended up on deck mid ship, a very nice location to be.

The planning was simple for this, I booked via NCL's website, which was very easy to use, and was able to book all my land excursions over the period of time after the original booking, which meant that I was able to take my time looking at what was on offer and booking as I could afford it.  I also paid credit to my room in the form of "Gift Certificates" I think this is more for people that are going on holidays such as honeymoons and instead of receiving gifts they can pay for gift certificates while on holiday.

Day 3 - Bergen
