Day 7 - Viking Cruise to Norway

Thursday, Jan 16 ... the weather did not get any better. The open sea continued with winds in excess of 80-90 mph and waves up to 50 ft high. Our captain decided it was much too dangerous to leave port and so we stay at Ålesund.

And a view of our ship, the Viking Vela, on our return.
