We went to Iceland some years ago, late in their season around September and caught a brief sight of whales. That might be an alternative to Scandinavia? |

Iv'e never spotted whales in either Iceland or Bejam or anywhere else but I think there are no whale watching cruises in Norway early in the year because the whales don't visit there until later in the year.

The Norwegian whale watching cruises are later in the year, the days are very short in Norway early in the year, may I suggest you give her the tickets for a whale watch (separate day) and a cruise down/up the inner waterway from either Haugesund or Bergen in the south to the north, as near as midsummer day as possible, that is something not to be missed. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Brittany Ferries do some very good whale watching cruises down to Santander and back, about 4 a year if that's any help |

McSimmo, I cruise quite a bit and by far the best is Alaska, bit more pricey but guaranteed whales of many various types plus Orcas and various wildlife.

Madeira at the right time is a good place to see whales . Blues , Sperm , Pilots should all be there at some time . I’ve seen the last two when we have been out big game fishing from Funchal . You also if you are lucky might just get to see a blue marlin “ free jumping “ just for the hell of it . The other place which is exceptional for sea life watching is the Pacific North west from Seattle up to Vancouver Island , I was lucky enough to weekend up there when I was working, and had to go out for meetings . Victoria on Vancouver Island is a bit like Harrogate by the sea , with lots of friendly Pro -Brit Canadians , Orcas are the thing there , stunning thing seeing a pod of these swimming past a stationery small boat 50 miles offshore . I’d bet a week up there would be achievable inside a of a Nordic cruise price. 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership
