Luxury cruise ship Seabourn Quest in Bergen, Norway; Fjords cruise; Ships in Bergen

This afternoon I went to watch the luxury cruise ship Seabourn Quest as she departed her berth at Bontelabo in Bergen.

Her passengers were very lucky, with a glorious day in town, and Seabourn Quest's sailaway in the sunshine looked really fantastic.

You can find out all about Seabourn Quest in our previous post, including information about her history and construction.

MS Trollfjord - Photo Tour

Image
Up next in the series of photo tours on board the ships of Hurtigruten is MS Trollfjord. Regular readers of this blog will know the drill by now; MS Trollfjord is one of a fleet of 11 ships that together offer daily departures from Bergen on the Express route along the coast of Norway. The ships serve a dual roll as both cruise ships and cargo ships, and are vital in connecting many of the smaller communities in the northern part of the country. Scroll down to take a look around her interiors and public decks.

Seven Seas Explorer

You are now looking at (what her owners claim to be) the most luxurious ship in the world. Regent Seven Seas Cruises have long been an established luxury line, but in 2016 they made this extremely bold claim with the launch of their newest ship Seven Seas Explorer . The design and conception of  Seven Seas Explorer  can be traced way back to 2008, when RSSC held a dedicated 'build your ship' cruise aboard one of their existing vessels, where regular passengers were invited to discuss ideas for the new project with senior management from the line. After many years on the drawing board, and several more in the shipyard,  Seven Seas Explorer  emerged; the culmination of 8 years of design and planning. Outwardly this is a handsome, if somewhat conservative ship. She has a length of 224 metres, a gross tonnage of 54,000 and accommodates just 750 passengers, served by a crew of 552. The following photos show  Seven Seas Explorer  as she passed my aparment on her way into

Queen Mary 2 - Photo Tour and Voyage Report (Part 2)

Image
The tour continues with the Britannia Restaurant. The main dining room on board, this is used by all passengers travelling in standard cabins, whilst the smaller Princess Grill and Queens Grill restaurants are reserved for those travelling in suites. The Britannia Restaurant really is an impressive room, with a large double-height central section surrounded by tall columns, and tiered upper levels joined by a sweeping staircase at the forward end of the room. The Britannia Restaurant The restaurant is open for a la carte breakfast and lunch with an open seating. For dinner, tables and dining times are assigned to guests in each stateroom, and remain unchanged throughout the crossing (though we were able to switch to a larger, more attractive table after speaking with the Maitre d' on the first afternoon). Sitting at a larger table provides a great opportunity to get to know your fellow diners during the trip. Dinner soon becomes the main event of the days on board.
