We had an offer from the Radisson Blu hotel to join this tour! Unfortunately the weather was not so convenient, that is why we were freezing! On board, they offered some covers to protect ourselves but they were not so clean so we preferred standing the cold! The tour lasts about 75 minutes.

We took this boat tour for my husband's birthday. We were the only two people on the tour, so we had the entire boat to ourselves. Nothing like a private viking boat tour.

The captain is very good and gave a very good talk thoughtout the trip, he is very knowlageable and is great fun, the trip last about two hour and is well worth the very reasonab;e fare
