My wife and I are planning a few weeks in Denmark and Norway. Is the two night northbound Coastal Steamer from Bergen to Trondheim worth the expense?

No one can possibly determine this for you.<BR>Is a $35 steak &quot;worth&quot; it?<BR>Are tickets to the Super Bowl worth $1000?<BR>Is it worth it to spend over $30,000 on a car?<BR>Is buying the premium ice cream worth paying an extra $1.00 for?<BR>Is it worth it to spend $50 for a really good wine instead of $40 for a good one?<BR>Get the idea? I could go on and on.<BR><BR>It's a great trip. To some it would be worth it. To others it won't be.

Hi Martin,<BR><BR>I made a trip to Norway this summer. I considered making part of the trip on the coastal steamer and decided to pass. I realized in reviewing the trip that the boat stopped for such short periods of time that I wasn't going to see as much as I wished (and the cost was a bit of a budget buster). The train for portions of my travel, bus on others, and a few shorter ferry rides worked out better for me. It all depends on what you want to see, how much time you have, and your budget. I was glad to have some fjord ferry rides on my trip as the scenery is spectacular - but I also liked having travels in-land. Unfortunatly, the inland route between Trondheim and Bergen is indirect at best (I think via. Oslo if you take the train....)<BR><BR>Good luck with your trip - Norway is lovely and you'll have a great trip no matter what you choose.

<BR>Martin,<BR>Trondheim is one of the best action cities in Europe. Go for it. The bus and ferries from Bodo to Narvik are worth twice the price. Awesome fjords.<BR>John

We're going to take the cruise after all, but my response to the cost of the steak, Super Bowl ticket, wine and car are all &quot;no&quot;. Yes on the premium ice cream.

My wife and I took the Coastal Steamer all the way up and back the coast and thought it was a great trip! Have fun.<BR>
