Production crew housing?
According to news reports in Norway citing a local government official, Fridtjof Nansen will be docked at Hellesylt and used as a hotel ship during the filming.
Built in 2019, the hybrid-battery-powered Fridtjof Nansen resumed sailing in July. However, a coronavirus outbreak on sister ship Roald Amundsen brought Hurtigruten's expedition cruises to a halt and sparked several investigations.
