Well, it looks like the cruise to Tromsø and Alta won't happen. The ship needs to remain in Alesund while inspections are underway to verify the integrity of the ship to make sure there isn't any structural damage. Too bad; no sled rides with the huskies or reindeer sleigh rides. But Viking is doing everything they can to make our voyage as enjoyable as possible and they are providing a 60% voucher for a future cruise (which we will take advantage of!). The changed itinerary now includes stops at Flåm, Eidfjord and Stravanger before returning to Bergen.
As for the Northern Lights (this
is an Astronomy and Space blog after all) - the weather is simply not cooperating, and neither is the sun for that matter (low KP index). Rain and clouds expected for the next few days.
Here are a few more photos of Ålesund from our ship.
