I’ve just disembarked a cruise on a battery powered ship that visited 21 different ports in 4 days. The journey took us from Tromso up in the arctic circle all the way down to Bergen and I took this cruise in the middle of winter. I saw and did things on the trip that have to be seen to be believed, from the ports that we visited to the surprisingly luxurious ship and the food, I’ll show you it all.

Usually when you embark a cruise it’ll be lunchtime, maybe early afternoon. Our embarkation time was 11:45PM. I had a friend onboard who had already been on the ship for a week at this point and he had been sending me terrifying weather reports and footage of the ship travelling through rough seas and storms to come to pick me up. I was excited, but definitely a little nervous about getting onboard. I do get seasick and I don’t claim to know much about Norwegian weather but ‘high avalanche danger’ definitely didn’t seem good.

The ship that we were boarding was called the Havila Polaris and we walked through a deserted terminal and straight up the gangway to board. This felt like breaking every single cruise ship rule all at once. Normally you have to check in in the terminal, you have to go through security, they scan your bags, it usually takes a while but we walked up the walk way and we were in the ship. In the middle of the atrium.

We checked in at reception the same way as you would on a hotel on land and we were ready to start our cruise in under 5 minutes which was very exciting. To be honest I was very relieved that the ship really did turn up to pick us up at nearly midnight, I did double and triple check the paperwork I had to make sure I hadn’t misread it because it did seen different.

Some guests had already been onboard for a week at this point and some would only be on the ship for a couple of hours between ports, how they keep track of everybody coming and going I’ll never know but I did wonder how this would affect our cruise. It didn’t know if it would feel like a cruise at all.
