This trip is a once in a lifetime voyage where you will not only see the beautiful country of Norway but you will meet many woodturners, learn a lot of turning techniques from skilled turners, and even do some woodturning yourself on the high seas! A very special experience!
 We must mention that most passengers bring their wives or partners so she/he will not be alone! (As many think...) And it's an international cruise with passengers coming from around the world. As a comparison the HURTIGRUTEN cruise of Norway was recently chosen to be the best cruise in the world by Lonely Planet!
National Geographic rates the Norwegian fjords as the world's greatest unspoiled travel destinations (click text to read more) and we will be travelling in these surroundings! But our cruise is even better - we go to fantastic places that regular cruise ships just don't go! You will see magnificent coastlines, snow capped mountains, glaciers, fjords, water falls, cross the Arctic Circle twice, visit some of the best cities and seaside towns Norway has to offer and enjoy long evenings with spectacular sunsets.
Experience the uniqueness of local townspeople coming on board to enjoy the excitement of live demonstrations, buying treasures of the latest woodworking products then leaving the ship - while you have the pleasure of staying aboard and this is where it gets even better! Turning on the high seas , both you (and your spouse/partner) can both learn woodturning and improve or develop your skills! If you are interested in chip carving, woodcarving, wood burning or even routing there will be opportunities to learn, practice and improve these crafts as well.
All lessons and services are FREE (except chip carving courses) - you have the option of watching, learning, joining in - or not! Our demonstrator list is impressive, they're all great teachers and we urge you to take this once in a lifetime opportunity. However, should you prefer to participate in other onboard activities, there will be plenty to keep you occupied.
MS GANN are not a regular cruise ship regarding shops and other facilities, as you find on larger ships - but you will have the opportunity for shopping every day at all the ports and cities we visit. You will also get to know your fellow travellers much better since there will only be approximatly 220 people onboard.
And our cruise stops much longer in each harbour giving you time to really see the cities and places we stop! Compared to the old MS GANN (used in 2001 and 2004) this is a totally different ship: Lots of room - nice cabins, all with shower and toilet, - an excellent Panorama Lounge on top of the ship and many more lathes for your use while we sail!
