I understand they need to pay the staff who planned on guiding our boats but they could have reimbursed 50% since they did not waste boat fuel or mileage on the boat. (This followed the Hurtigruten event that occurred 1 week prior while trying to dock in Bodo google the horrific video Jan.21, 2020), as well as the high sea disaster on Viking Sea in March 2019 (you can also good that) enroute to Bodo.ĭue to the missed port January 30, 2020, all 20 guests lost the full $200 excursion and this tour company kept the entire $4000. Due to sea conditions the Viking Star captain had to skip the Bodo port and stay at Sea. We each paid 1750 NOK or $190 US dollars per person (roughly $400/couple). Heads up regarding Bodo: While sailing on the Viking Star in Norway January 2020, 20 Viking guests booked this boat trip to visit Salstrumen because the Viking-offered excursions to Salstrumen were sold out. If the tide is flowing from east to west, the best views are on the right side of the bridge. Facing the bridge from the bus stop, if the tide is flowing from west to east, the best views are on the left side of the bridge.
