Lynley Bilby is currently travelling from England to Norway on the Emerald Princess. She will be posting updates throughout the trip.
In just under an hour I shall be setting sail on the Emerald Princess to the land of the Vikings. Here's the view from my cabin.
We're docked in the Port of Southampton.
It won't be long before the Glovis Champion is replaced by an ice-capped Norwegian fjord - or so I hope.
