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. 

However, we were able to get a mini-cruise into the Norwegian fjords. Here are some photos from that excursion into Hjørundfjord which cuts about 22 miles inland between the jagged Sunnmøre Alps. Small idyllic villages lie dotted along the fjord.

 








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