I found criticisms of the Coastal Express on social media. But are they fair? In this video, I'll give you my honest verdict on each one — from complaints about repetitive food to port stops being too short. I've travelled the Coastal Express on both Havila and Hurtigruten, so I can tell you why I agree with some of these criticisms and why I don't agree with others. ****** Welcome to the channel. I create travel videos for fifty-plus explorers looking for authentic journeys around the world — not just where to go, but what it actually feels like to be there. On this channel, you'll find in-depth explorations of cruises, road trips, railway journeys, flights, ferries, and border crossings. Each video digs into the real experience behind travel — the good, the challenging, and the unexpected. Whether it's a weekend break or a longer expedition, I'm interested in how places actually work, the stories behind destinations, and what travel reveals about us as we explore the world. New videos weekly. Subscribe if you're looking for travel that goes beyond the surface. https://www.youtube.com/@michaelhortintravel
