Last Wednesday morning I called the airline to book our tickets for an 11-day tour in mid-August, flying into Bergen and out of Oslo with stop-overs – both ways – in Iceland.
The airline agent suggested seating the six of us together across the center aisle. But because the ladies had requested cruise cabins "with a view," I asked the airline agent for window seats too. She booked us in the same two rows of three – one behind the other in the window aisle – for all four flights. So, we should have no trouble remembering where we sit.
Next, I contacted the cruise agent to book three-days on the Hurtigruten, boarding in Bergen and departing in Trondheim. The agent set us up with "port-hole" window cabins for our port-to-port venture and gave us a money-saving deal for booking three cabins!
Because our voyage is on a north-bound ship, we will cruise through the dramatic Geiranger Fjord shown here. Years ago, I took this photo of my husband to fulfill his 30th birthday wish of having his photo taken on this renown ledge over-looking the village of Geiranger. We did two shoots: one on a gray-afternoon and this one the next morning when the sun came out and a cruise ship sailed in. This time the ladies and I will be on the ship!
Today, I have notices from Icelandair and Hurtigruten of ticket Confirmation. Let the count-down begin!
