We tried to go on one of them but I don't think any of the Cabins had private facilities.

However next June we are Cruising on Oriana and visiting Norway again.
Cruise goes from Southampton to Stavanger; Flaam; Geiranger; Trondheim; Honningsvaag; Tromso; Andalsnes; Olden; Bergen and back to Southampton.
We are hoping for some sunshine this time as we have not been very lucky in the past!!
We missed out on the excusion to Geiranger when we were on the Midnatsol so we picked this cruise. We have visited Stavanger, Flaam, Olden and Bergen in recent times so it will be very nice to revisit the other's after a long gap.

The ship was pulled off by three tugs including the "Mega Mammut" and docked in Haugesund around 7.30 a.m. where the Haugaland and Hardangerfjord police boarded the vessel at the Garpaskjærs Quay to interrogate the crew and take drug tests of the bridge crew.
The ship suffered some damage but was not leaking. The Norwegian Coastguard deployed the patrol boat "Ålesund" which was monitoring the situation since 1 a.m. and a Seaking helicopter, the NSSR the lifeboat "Bergen Kreds" which in vain tried to pull the "Nordstjernen" off at 11.30 p.m.
