Furlongs Travel will be exhibiting at The Daily Telegraph's CRUISE SHOW at London's Olympia on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th March 2011. The show, now in its third year, has moved to Olympia's more spacious Grand Hall to cope with demand, so you'll now enjoy more space, […]
The weather continues to be rather special. The sun is shining and the seas are calm. Of course it is quite chilly outside on deck, but if you wrap up it’s just fine.
This morning the ship crew have a fire and safety drill. They practice on a weekly basis and it’s a […]
Following the late night concert in Tromso many of us are also up early this morning to join an excursion from Harstad to Sortland, called “a taste of Vesteralen”. Today we experience history, stunningly beautiful scenery and some breath-taking sights. Leaving the town of […]
Northbound from Tromso we visited Hammerfest at 5.15am. Or perhaps we should say our ship visited Hammerfest around 5.15am, since we were all tucked up in bed at the time. Now southbound we again stop at Hammerfest, but this time at a somewhat more convenient hour, in the […]
After visiting Kirkenes our next stop was Norway’s most easternmost town called Vardo. This small town is situated on the island of Vardoya and an underwater tunnel links it to the mainland.
At Vardo some guests visit the Vardohus Fortress which dates from 1737, while […]
Today we arrived at Kirkenes pretty much on schedule, around 10am. Some ship guests disembark here but we're just heading off for some local excursions before rejoining the ship.
Some of us head for the famous Snow Hotel where the beds are made of ice and, naturally, […]
Very early risers may have seen the town of Hammerfest when we docked at 5.15am this morning. However it's more likely that most of us were fast asleep and didn't notice a thing! Our ship cruises along very smoothly indeed and the Norwegian crew certainly know how to dock […]
We've done a lot today! We checked in at Heathrow first thing. Our flight took off pretty much on time and our connection at Oslo went smoothly so we arrived in Tromso 5 minutes ahead of schedule. From Tromso airport we took the pretty route around the island to the […]
We're busy with final preparations for our first escorted tour "In Search of the Northern Lights". Some of us are overnighting at Heathrow tomorrow, and then we all head off early on Wednesday morning. Our first destination is the […]
Richard and Dawn enjoyed a busy 4-days at The Times Destinations Travel Show at Earls Court in London, 3rd to 6th February. There was a constant stream of enquiries and Richard's presentation about Galapagos was well received. Every seat in the theatre was taken, and folk […]
