Ah Bob, I think you've just frightened several potential clients from booking their Hurtigruten cruise with your '' Like a Mirror '' picture. It's no reflection on you though ( Geddit)
However, with close observation I don't think that is the said ship, looks like a fishing boat to me ( isn't it ? )

Must say I am interested in the Hurtigruten working ship trip - 12 days.
Wondering if I should book excursions or just wander about the ports?
Will also need advice on cabin type and add ons. Do the company offer advice if you phone?
Was thinking about an October or November trip.
Any tips / advice very gratefully received.

You don't have to book all the excursions. We only did North Cape,the sea eagles and the excursion over the Eagle Road.
Because both Trondheim and Tromso are small, we didn't bother with the guided tours.
Remember it is a working boat and some of the docking can be for as little as 20 minutes, if you go ashore the boat leaves exactly on time, with or without you.
Try for cabins on the top decks toward the rear as these are likely to be less disturbed by the port activity.
Take a box of wine as hand luggage, Norwegian alcohol prices are eye popping.

Many thanks Stuart.
Will bear these in mind.
Will bring a bottle of Malt too. As an antidote to seasickness of course.
I've been to Stavanger previously and can vouch for the prices. I got the message when I checked out the cruise add on for two beers per day. 😱😢

Keep your take on board alcohol out of sight, rumour has it that if you are seen with it it will be confiscated!

With a name like his, there is no fear of drowning.

Glad you enjoyed your holiday in one of my favourite countries! We are going again next year, our fourth round trip, I was ill most of last year with breast cancer, now over it with the 'all clear' confirmed & recovered from the hateful treatment, so my treat is another Hurtugruten voyage, can't wait. Once you get the Norway bug it's hard to ignore!
