Local Chamber of Commerce grease a few palms?

We were allowed into two shops, I thought one was much better than the other. 
 

Had a Viking “chaperone” so it was only for Viking passengers. 

 

Nice to get outside since we are here until 10:30 tonight. 

Hopefully this goes smoothly and future cruises will also allow this. 
 

But the stores should require ship I.d. to get in to make sure we remain in the “Viking Bubble.” 
 

They made a lot of money on us tonight lol. Fun!!

Bbtondo. Thank you for your detail on the shopping spree. What port was this? Any official explanation??

I'm not Bbtondo, but I can guess the answer for you: Seydisfjordur, which is a very pretty, small town.  Back on board time is 10:30.  I had hoped to go back out into the town last week, but in the end decided I was too tired from the day's long excursion to see puffins (Footsteps of the Elves excursion).

 

If you don't get to go shopping on your cruise, you can do what these people did: go for a swim in the infinity pool at dinner time!
