Trondheim was to be a one night stop over before travelling by air to Tromsø, nicknamed the ‘Paris of the North’ in the 19th Century by visitors who were impressed by the very sophistication of the city.
So now it was time to go to sea. We had to board our Hurtigruten Ferry by 20:30 for departure at 22:00.
