janetcbl Posted June 26, 2017 #1 Share Posted June 26, 2017 We have an interest in the Nordic Passages trip for next year, and wonder if anyone knows why this year's trip skipped the first stop (Orkney, Scotland) and stayed in the Norwegian fjords instead for the first couple of days? The ship caught up with the itinerary in the Shetlands......but why skip the first port in the itinerary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodcook64 Posted July 7, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Ship decided to stay in fjords in Norway because of storm in seas between Bergen and Orkney's. Lost two days of time in first three islands. Had abbreviated schedule in Shetlands and Faroes. Caught up with schedule in Iceland. Chose this trip because of visits to the Orkneys and Faroes, so disappointed to say least. Otherwise good trip. Iceland is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid this was the reason as my main interests are also the Orkney's and the Faroes. I agree- Iceland is amazing, especially the North.
