Boarded Viking Saturn on a Wednesday, and sailed to Edinburgh, the Orkney Islands, and the Shetland Islands, with visits to very cool Neolithic sites on both sets of islands. Then across the North Sea to the Norwegian Sea to Honigsvag, from which we took a bus to North Cape. Within the Arctic, where the sun did not set for 4 days, sailing through the fjiords was amazing. As was cod fishing in Tromso, and kayaking in Geiranger fjiord. Exploring Bergen was fantastic. But then we had to come home on a Wednesday, after 2 weeks on board.
