There are many different stops on each leg so the two cruises can be combined into a 12-day cruise that goes to 34 ports. In some places the ship stops only long enough to pick up or unload some cars and fish and people, and at other ports the ship stops long enough for passengers to take a stroll ashore or have several hours for sightseeing and shopping for sweaters, knives or crafts. At every port, the local villagers are there to watch the loading and unloading, greet visitors, and wave good bye to friends going down coast. The double cabins have two lower berths that fold up during the day to create a small sitting room. Most outside cabins have a window allowing you to view the scenery, but cabins on decks 2 and 3 only have a porthole.
Cabins have a radio and individual air-conditioning and heat control.
Some cabins have a third berth. Junior suites, located on decks 5 and 6 have a queen bed. Full suites have chairs, tv, telephone and a queen bed. Most cabins have a private bath with shower and a hairdryer, but some have wash basin only. In the dining room breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at specific times.
