Meanwhile, Norwegian ship MS Otto Sverdup is set to dock today (Sunday, April 16).

Hurtigruten's Otto Sverdup is a German-language ship that was refurbished in 2020 using natural Scandinavian materials 'to create a relaxed and stylish atmosphere'.

It carries just 526 people.

The ships have arrived following uncertainty over whether cruise ships would be docking at the port.
