Our voyage was kindly hosted by Hurtigruten, and all opinions (and awkward family moments) are completely our own. 💙
After twelve days, sixty-eight ports, and more fjords, cinnamon, and sea eagles than we can count… this is it — the grand finale of The Three of Us — my special travel series with my parents. 🥹🇳🇴
From cuddling huskies at a snow hotel made of ice, to standing at the very edge of Europe at the North Cape, to hiking through a mountain at Torghatten, to capturing the most cinematic seagull content of my life — this voyage has been puuuuuure magic.
This final episode aboard the hybrid ship MS Richard With takes us deep into the Arctic and all the way back home to Bergen — wrapping up twelve unforgettable days together at sea.💛
🌊 This episode includes:
• Visiting the Kirkenes Snowhotel (and cuddling all the huskies 🐕🦺)
• Standing at the North Cape — the northernmost point in Europe 🌍
• A surprise visit to the captain’s bridge 🚢
• Hiking through the iconic Torghatten mountain hole ⛰️
• A wild sea eagle safari + sailing into Trollfjord
• Fine dining, pizza nights, and those slow Arctic sunsets 🌅
✨ About the series:
This marks the end of The Three of Us — my family travel project with my parents, ticking off bucket-list adventures around Europe together. From scenic trains to Arctic ferries, this one’s been something really special. 💛

Hej hej from the rails (and boats)! I’m Chloé — a Kiwi travel creator exploring the world one awkward train moment at a time. My husband Ludvig (dry humour, Swedish passport) joins when he can. Together, we seek out the quirkiest journeys, comfiest cabins, and always squeeze in a touch of luxury when we can (okay, that part’s mostly my idea 😅). We’re all about making travel fun, relatable, and a little bit weird — with a side of scenic magic.💛
Some links are affiliate, which means we might earn a small commission (at no extra cost to you). It helps keep the adventures going — and pays for coffee when the train café runs out of it. And honestly? Every time you use one, it triggers a little happy dance on my end. 🕺 So thank you!
