Parents' meeting in the Caribbean

✨️Imagine you have to ask your boss for some time off because you have to go to a parent-teacher conference in the Caribbean 😯

Several of these parents have probably done so. Here they are standing on the dock in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The photo above gives a little insight into the emotions ❤️ that are in motion when the ship docks with the young people on board. Many have not seen each other for six months.

After the parent-teacher meetings, the students have a few days of vacation with their parents before the trip continues to Bermuda. Sørlandet sets off on the 9-day voyage on February 23rd.

Gold of the forest to pride of the sea - Over one hundred year old pine gets new life at Sørlandet

When the Norwegian The Ship Sørlandet needed a new ship's deck, a very special material was found in the forests around Elverum. The centuries-old pine forest there contains trees with a core of naturally impregnated wood, perfect for withstanding the marine environment. This "gold timber", as it was called, is the result of several generations of forestry and natural growing conditions.
