VOC Ship: Onboard shop question

[SailorPaulH]

Does anyone happen to know if they stock a range of Dale of Norway sweaters in the onboard shop? There are some ports we will be visiting with outlets also, but just wanted to see if there is a convenient onboard option. Thanks.

Limited.

Yes, they had about four designs, but many, many sizes.  We bought red and navy blue ones with our phony money from trivia (that was on a WC.  Don’t know if they do that with only a few trivia days).

There are several styles on the ship in a decent range of sizes, but if you are in Bergen, many shops carry Dale sweaters in many more styles and colors.  
I did take the Dale factory tour in Bergen, and walked out with 3 sweaters and 2 scarfs.  They were a bit less $$ than in the stores and on the ship (prices are very similar).  I did get my VAT back too.

What did you think of that excursion? Is it worthwhile/interesting if you don’t plan to buy anything? We’re signed up for it next month, mainly to get out of Bergen a bit and see some countryside, etc.

Gorgeous scenery on the way there.  We had a good guide who talked about life in Norway.
