The Freyja brand is very nice! You get four tubes they'll replenish regularly: shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body lotion. The bar of soap is pretty small so you may want to bring a larger one (as I do for my hubby). Enjoy!

We were on Saturn Iceland to NY Aug. 16. Greenland was one of our top priorities! First: the absolute highlight of our 2 weeks was Prince Christian Sound: indeed the most spectacular we've seen anywhere. The captain took his time circling and we just soaked in the sheer mountains and glistening glaciers. It was mostly overcast but the rain held off until we reluctantly departed! We did miss two stops due to rough seas: our first, at the Westman Islands, and L’Anse aux Meadows. Luckily, we stopped at both Nanortalik and Quaqortoq, tendering to both. It was drizzling/raining/cold all day at Nanortalik but without wind. Lots of folks walked around carrying Viking's big red umbrellas. The day started gray and wet in Quaqortoq (so folks with early excursions were very bummed), then turned beautiful. I had a wonderful time walking up and around town for different viewpoints. They are very well set up here for tourists, with locals directing you to key spots with native activities. I had fretted that I couldn't find good excursions but, really, just walking around the towns and seeing the locals was quite fascinating. Feel free to ping me if you want more info.

We were there Aug. 20 and discovered there are two ports! For some reason, we had to dock at the one away from the main port, which is where the rental cars and my whale excursion was. The ship offered a shuttle bus sort of on the half hour. It takes you to the Hof Cultural Center, which is at the main port and by the center of town. I missed the shuttle, and got someone to call me a taxi as you can't readily walk from one port to the other (busy streets).
