Morning light slants across the Oslofjord as the electric vessel slips away from Langkaia, the Opera House receding into a wash of glass and red brick. Passengers move between the panoramic lounge and the open deck where cold salt air teases hair and camera straps; gulls wheel close, daring the hull to hurry.
