Still the Norwegian Fjords

As ORIANA is currently underway back to Norway and to the port of Andalsnes, we share some more images from her previous cruise, depicting her last call in the destination mentioned above on 25 February, where she is seen during a snow shower, and also a stern shot taken at dusk while berthed in Alta three days later. The author describes the temperature being -18º at that moment!
ORIANA is currently performing the exact same itinerary as the previous one, a 12 night cruise calling in Andalsnes, then Tromso, Alta and finally Stavanger, before returning to Southampton on the 18 March, where she will once again prepare to cross the Atlantic Ocean westbound to the Caribbean on a 24 night voyage.

ORIANA's stay in Alta

Arriving on the afternoon of 28th February in the port of Alta often refered to as 'The City of the Northern Lights" in their search of the elusive light display.

ORIANA alongside in Alta
 With a full day and 2 nights in port there is no better place and plenty of time for ORIANA's come face to face with the Northern lights.
Although it was a highlight other activities on offer while ORIANA was in Alta included visiting or even staying overnight in a igloo style ice hotel, taking a ride on a huskey pulled sledge or for something a lttle different a chance to ride a snow mobile .
ORIANA departed Alta shortly after 3am this morning and is now on route to Stavanger where she will arrive on the 4th March.
