Sunrise 3:04 am, Sunset 11:45 pm

Aloha Everyone,

We attended 3 destination presentations this morning in the Princess Theatre. 

Tromso our first of the next three successive stops is most promising. J.J. and I have been here when we first traveled to Europe using Eurail passes. We plan to walk out of the ship and explore the harbor area.






Alta requires that we take tender and shuttle to go downtown. 




Honningsvag, our 3rd stop has a winter population of 700 which expands to 3,000 in the summer months.  One could go through a tunnel to the northern end of the Arctic.



Experiencing midnight sun means we will not witness any Northern Lights on this voyage.

We accessed WiFi and wished our son in La Jolla, Happy Birthday and Happy Father’s Day. Not as successful trying to reach Jeff in Hawaii. Maybe due to the distance or foggy weather conditions, 5 attempts were choppy and unsuccessful. 

Too much lights. I woke up several times but as a result, able to capture sunset at 11:45 pm.


Aloha -- Cathi
