The ship is the Aurora
Congrats Realspeed.
Aurora is imo and in many people's opinion, the best ship in the fleet. It has a huge following and has been the most "glam" ship for years, meaning that passengers love and expect to dress up smartly. The dumbed down dress code has diluted this in recent years as it has on all ships but Aurora remains the best imo.
One of the proper traditional ships she sports the best crows nest, which is on 3 levels, a traditional wide prom deck which you can walk laps on and the superb Andersons bar, a very decadent closed off bar/lounge which is perfect for pre-dinner ginties and people watching.
The Norway cruise is lovely but you will need to book excursions at most stops because there isn't much there. Bergen is the exception which is usually the highlight of the trip. Beautiful town, great fish market and good shops. Wasn't on your itinerary list there but Bergen usually features.
