Looking for a more budget-friendly way to cruise Norway without choosing Havila or Hurtigruten?
In this video, I’m joined by Lisa and Giles from the Travelling Light channel, who share their real-world experience cruising Norway with Fred. Olsen, P&O and Ambassador. Together, we explore how these UK-based cruise lines compare, who they’re best suited for, and how travellers can experience Norway’s dramatic coastline for significantly less.
This video forms part of a two-video collaboration with Travelling Light, released at the same time to give you a balanced view of premium versus value cruising in Norway — helping you decide which option best fits your budget and travel style.
In this video we cover:
Budget alternatives to Havila and Hurtigruten
Cruising Norway with Fred. Olsen, P&O and Ambassador
What you gain — and what you miss — with lower-cost cruise lines
Who these cruises are best suited for
How experienced cruisers find well-priced deals for Norway
If you’re planning a cruise to Norway and want to make your money go further, this video will help you choose the right option.
I explore unusual journeys, overlooked borders, and the reality behind the most interesting travel experiences. This is travel for the curious — not just where to go, but what it’s actually like.
On this channel you’ll find:
– Coastal Express and river cruise deep dives
– Unusual flights, ferries, and border crossings
– Honest cost breakdowns
