As promised by the officers in Flam, the sun was still beating down on the ship with only the occasional wispy white cloud obscuring the perfect blue sky.

Celebrity Eclipse in Flam
We woke early the day we arrived in Flam as we had booked the Flamsbana mountain train excursion with Celebrity Cruises before we sailed.
