Here's what two of our guests had to say about it… This sounds like such an exciting shore excursion – which cruise were you on? This optional shore excursion is part of Viking's Into the Midnight Sun cruise and was one of the highlights of our cruise. We would highly recommend it to anyone travelling on this itinerary. What did you have to wear? We wore very flattering thermal flotation suits – as it was only 12 degrees on the day, we were very grateful for these! What did this excursion entail? Around 20 of us met on the dock and were greeted by the master fishermen. We then set off in a deep-sea raft to the marine farm where the crab traps had been placed out overnight. How many king crabs did you catch? When the fishermen pulled up the traps we found 10 huge king crabs inside. We quickly took them back to shore, but not before some photos! Did you get to eat the crabs? We certainly did. We joined the fisherman in their Sami tents and the cooked crab meat was washed with fresh seawater and served with semi-sweet biscuits, slices of lemon and creamy mayonnaise. It tasted out of this world!
