Comments
A beautiful trip to Norway with interesting harbours and magnificent landscapes. The vibrant town of Moss is located at the eastern end of the Oslofjord on the River Mossa, where you can marvel at a 25 metre high waterfall. There are several historic buildings in the town centre. A stroll through Møllebyen (mill town) is a must.
Kristiansand is a city in the south of Norway. In the old town, Posebyen, there are traditional wooden houses and in the centre is the neo-Gothic Kristiansand Domkirke near the Sørlandets Kunstmuseum. If berthing times allow, there is plenty to discover here too.
In Rotterdam, we strongly recommend a taxi service that takes passengers to the ship and provides competent assistance during embarkation (subject to a charge, approx. €60 each way for embarkation in the harbours close to the city, approx. €150 for the outer harbours).
However, the ship is usually moored close to the city centre.
Age limit 79 years.

- Many thanks again for my latest cargo ship experience which was wonderful.
I enjoyed the trip on the Gerda, with Captain H. who ensured that I had my best experience to date. Also, a mention to the Chef, who made very tasty meals, also to all the crew, I can’t list all their names, unfortunately, however, all staff combined made my experience so enjoyable and I will definitely try to go on that route again to meet them again.
I highly recommend this trip!
You are very...

Back from Hamburg, I would like to give you my feedback.
It was a very interesting week I spent on board; captain Z. and the officers were all very open and friendly, so there really was a good atmosphere. I have always felt welcome to go here and there, to ask questions, and able to spend a lot of time on the bridge. As I told the captain, I felt I was 40 years younger as I spent hours on the bridge, just like when I was an officer on merchant ships...
