Here's a review from last year that another CC member posted on this forum: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=16174398&postcount=1

You're welcome.:) It was a great review! We haven't done that itinerary, but have cruised on Azamara and it was our favourite cruise ship & line so far!

Not sure if you are familiar with the Review Section of CC .. but the member reviews there are interesting and helpful:

My DH and I were on the same cruise as Prospector (the pouring rain in Oslo was all I needed to read to know that). Anyway, I agree with everything that was written in the review. Norway may well be the most beautiful country I have ever been in, and being on AZ made it so easy to see and appreciate that beauty. And AZ' small size enhanced the experience, as we were able to sail in fjords too narrow for the larger ships. Capt. Carl Smith did all he could do to ensure that our scenic experiences were optimum, even deviating from a planned routing to give us some bonus views. It was a perfect cruise in every way. You are in for a treat. Bon voyage.

Just to mention another option, you could also look into Oceania (www.oceaniacruises.com (http://www.oceaniacruises.com)). They use the same model of ship as Azamara and offer several Norway itineraries.

PS. Love the cat photo...........checked with Oceania, but its 18 day.Hubby will only go for 14 max.Did South America with Oceania and loved it.Just booked a SeaDream and will do Azamara next June, I think. Good tip , though.:)
