After almost 3 years long hiatus from Covid-19, we finally made out to Europe and went on a Princess’ "Land of the Midnight Sun" cruise. We have 12 friends from Houston and 6 friends from Los Angles area attending this long waited cruise. Originally it was planned for 2020 and we had to cancel it and rebook it in 2021.
This cruise itinerary was
- Aug 20 Southampton - Embark Sky Princess
- Aug 21 At sea
- Aug 22 Haugesund - Åkrafjorden & Langfoss Waterfall excursion with Guide Companiet
- Aug 23 Skjolden - Best Of Skjolden excursion with Princess
- Aug 24 Olden - Olden the Amazing Briksdal Glacier excursion with Norway Excursions
- Aug 25 Trondheim - Self walking tour
- Aug 26 At sea
- Aug 27 Honningsvåg - North Cape Sightseeing Tour excursion with Blue Puffin
- Aug 28 Tromsø - Self walking tour
- Aug 29 At sea
- Aug 30 At sea
- Aug 31 Ålesund - Ålesund from Fjords to Trolls excursion with Norway Excursions
- Sep 1 Bergen - Self walking tour
- Sep 2 At sea
- Sep 3 Southampton - Disembark Sky Princess
However, Princess changed the itinerary twice by replacing the port of Lofoten Islands with a "at sea" day. Lofoten Islands was the highlight of our original itinerary and it was a disappointment to all of us. We heard that it was caused by local authority changing the ship size requirements to enter the fjord near Lofoten Islands. Since Sky Princess is 20 ft wider than the new requirement, it prevented us to visit this magical destination port.
