After a shuttle ride from the Bergen Airport to the Viking ship, we had no trouble making it onto the Viking Star, our home for the next 2+ weeks.
We had looked forward to seeing Nan and George, but their flights were more of a challenge than ours, and they were still in the US—never use VIKING AIR to arrange your travel to/from Viking Cruises!
Finally onboard, we grabbed a bite to eat, showered, and tried to stay up for a while, but finally succumbed to sleep after some 30 hours of traveling.
