Hurtigruten confirms that the tests were positive. All 160 crew members on board will now be tested.
The crew is still on board, while the passengers have disembarked. Local newspaper Nordlys could Friday evening tell that four crew members have tested positive. All four are hospitalized in Tromsø.

“When “Roald Amundsen” docked in Tromsø on Friday morning, the corona alarm had already gone off. Nevertheless, Hurtigruten manages to release the 200 cruise passengers who had been on board the ship for a whole week, ashore. In Tromsø, they could walk around freely, go to a café, get in a taxi or on a bus, or on a plane, to get home. Without knowing that they might be infected by the dangerous and, in the worst case, deadly virus. Passengers Nordlys has spoken to say that they did not know anything about the coronavirus on board until they read about it in the newspaper.'”
