Definately NOT onboard! If you have an M &S credit card they are usually quite competitive, or just shop around the travel agents, or the Post Office. You wont need a huge amount of local currency as just about everywhere takes credit/debit cards, even for small amounts. And Norway is very expensive, eg 4 small beers and 2 packets of crisps....almost £40... in 2015

Crikey!! Won't be having many of those then! Thanks for the help.

We are going to Norway on Oriana in Feb. Where is the best place to get currency? Before we leave or on board. Thanks

We are also going to Norway in Feb on the Oriana (our first cruise) to hopefully see the Northern Lights and were wondering the same thing. Do we spend £135 each on the off chance of seeing them or do we hope to see them from the ship. Looking at your fantastic pictures, I think we have our answer. Thank you.

Thank you for the info. I'll have to hope the lights want to come out to play.

Thank you for the tips - hadn't thought of sunglasses.

That's what I'm concerned about - the light pollution. Decisions, decisions. :) I guess you stand more chance away from the harbour.

Sounds perfect! I don't want to miss the lights - it's what I'm going for - so want the best chance of seeing them. Having said that, I don't want to waste money going on a trip if you can see them just as well from the comfort of the ship.

Is it worth going on the Northern lights tour or can you see them just as well from the ship?

Thanks. Really looking forward to it. :)

We are doing the Northern lights cruise on Oriana in February. Any help and advice will be welcomed. This is our first cruise so we are complete novices. What is the best clothes to pack - both warm clothes and on board smart clothes. What excursions do you recommend - and what to avoid.
