The ship embarked on two weeklong trips starting July 17 and July 25, carrying nearly 400 passengers across both trips. As the AP notes, though, the ship “acts like a local ferry, traveling from port to port along Norway’s western coast,” with passengers joining or departing along the way. This has led to concerns about the virus spreading further in a country where more than 9,200 have died from COVID-19.
