Cruise Planning: Make no mistake, this is a cruise planning. You establish yourself in your single 1 or double stateroom and live there. You have most of your meals in the train's diner, a few in good resort hotels, and you enjoy just about every luxury that the cruise planning planners can dream up to pamper you. Through a public address system, you are wakened in the morning by a hostess who announces in Swedish and in English what the day's calendar will be. You take your Bath in the Shower car and meet your cruise planning mates at breakfast, rolling all the while through Sweden's white-birch and blue-lake scenery.
Privacy becomes a valuable commodity on a protracted cruise planning. Part of every day should be set aside for getting away from everyone else aboard. Your cruise planning mates will appreciate your company all the more if it is not constant.
Should occasions arise when you board the Boat from a dinghy, or have an opportunity to use the skipper's dinghy (with his permission, of course), use care in coming alongside.
After you cross the Arctic Circle, between Trondheim and Bod0, the full disk of the sun is above the horizon practically all the month of June and the first 10 days of July. At the North Cape it doesn't dip from May 12 until August 1, and at Spitzbergen (Svalbard in Norwegian), visited by some of the cruise planning ships, from April 21 to August 24. Travelers on cruise planning or mail steamers to the far north find that sublime scenery keeps on and on—and on. |
