Went on underrated holiday that was just stream of once-in-a-lifetime moments

Clare Fitzsimons recounts a Hurtigruten voyage on the MS Trollfjord that takes her from Bergen northward into the Arctic Circle, with the journey marked by Arctic scenery, outdoor stops, and unusual food experiences. In May, she describes the “Midnight Sun” effect as daylight persists while the ship sails past landmarks such as Trollfjord and Torghatten, including the mountain’s hole. Along the way, she visits Lofoten Seaweed, where the founders celebrate seaweed tasting—comparing it to truffle despite it being a natural product gathered locally. The article frames the trip as a steady stream of once-in-a-lifetime moments rather than a typical cruise itinerary.
