Creator's Key Takeaways

we are stuck we cannot go up because it's just too darn dangerous

Viking is an excellent line I do have some things to talk to customer service about though

we spent three days in Alta and they just made an announcement that we're spending the rest of the trip in tromo

Viking is really a first class Cruise Line

Only 1 Northern Lights sighting as we (and other cruise ships) spend an entire cruise in Alta and Tromso ports due to Norway hurricanes, said to be worst in 30 years. YIKES!
