Cruising Norway on QE2

We had planned to do a 6-day trip up the Norwegian coast on the Hurtigruten coastal ferry, but the trip was so expensive that for almost the same amount, we were able to book a two-week trip on Cunard's soon-to-retire Queen Elizabeth II. We flew to the UK to board the ship, which sailed all the way north to Svalbard and back before returning to Southampton.
