We left Fort Myers on the afternoon of July 1, heading to Iceland, Greenland and Canada. Our flights were uneventful and we arrived at 6:30 AM at Keflavik the airport for Reykjavik.
The lines at immigration were quite long since many flights from the US and Europe arrive early in the morning. We are on a Viking cruise and after collecting our luggage were met by their transfer service people. Our luggage was taken from us to be delivered directly to the ship.
Because of the early hour we were taken to a private room at their Harpa complex. The Harpa is their music and conference venue which also has an upscale restaurant. By the time we had our breakfast,we were ready to be transported to the ship.
Check in at the ship was easy and after the security briefing, how to put on your life jacket, we were able to go to our cabin. I do have to report that we were so exhausted from not sleeping on our flight over, that we both fell asleep and only woke up when our cabin attendant brought our luggage.
Since this is our 3rd Viking ocean trip we did not need to “get acquainted with the ship,” since all Viking ocean ships are alike. We had a very good dinner in the main dining room and then saw a fabulous show featuring Greta Salome, both a violinist and singer. She represented Iceland in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2012 and 2016.
We did get an early to bed end of the evening.
Tomorrow we start touring.
