Last year I visited Norway when it was +30 °C, so I thought I would repeat a similar route in the same sunny weather. And I also had luck with the weather this time.
I've wanted to take the night train between Trondheim and Bodø; unfortunately, it is not possible because there are no locomotives, and the railway was closed for almost a year due to a landslide. So, I'm flying to Trondheim and taking the Hurtigruten boat to Bodø, where I will switch to a day train. As seen here, the weather was not the best in the beginning, but it will be better later.
There are no direct flights from Stockholm to Trondheim this time of day, so I have to change in Oslo
The flight between Oslo and Trondheim with SAS is offering some snacks and beverages in Plus section
It's almost midnight

Next day it's time to board the Hurtigruten boat
It's not cheap to travel with Hurtigruten, especially if you just book one night. It's probably more clever to take the whole 12-day route, but now I don't have time for this
Hurtigruten was established in 1893 by government contract to improve communications along Norway's long, jagged coastline. The coastal route provides daily, year-round, and consistent traffic between Bergen and Kirkenes, with 34 ports of call on northbound sailings and 33 on southbound. (Wikipedia)
It's possible to book an all-inclusive package with food and drinks onboard
