The Norwegian American

An unforgettable few days in Stavanger as we celebrated the departure of the Restauration! The send-off was filled with memorable events, heartfelt connections, and a powerful sense of shared heritage. Guests from across Norway and the United States came together to witness this historic moment — and we were honored to be part of it. We'll provide full coverage of the festivities in our next issue.

Wishing the crew fair winds and smooth sailing on this incredible journey. We’ll be following every step and can’t wait to welcome you in New York on October 9!🇳🇴🇺🇸
