Thanks for all your replies. I'd love to hear more the excursions people took. Any ones we shouldn't miss?

As I said in an earlier post, we're booked on a BK trip in May. I'm wondering what to do when the voyage ends in Kirkenes. Is it worth spending a day (and a night) there? Our next stop is Stockholm, and the other option is to get a flight once the boat docks. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks for all your help. I'm so excited! I just booked the Bergen-Kirkenes trip in May on the Polaris!

NOW on to the next thing -- Anyone have any excursion recommendations?

I've never been on Havila -- or in Norway, for that matter -- and have very limited cruise experience, so excuse me if my questions are dumb. Anyway,here goes:

1) I see that there are a number of trips that are one way instead of round trip. How does one get back, when you arrive at the last port? Are there flights? And how costly are they?

2) I'm really interested in seeing the fjords, but Havila offers a number of different voyages. Which ones do people here think are the most scenic?

3) How many days are adequate?

3) What is the best month to go? I'm can go any time between April and September. What do you recommend?

I sincerely appreciate the help.
