A slightly distant port view of the Orient Line cruise ship Orontes (1929) at anchor in Geirangerfjord off Merok, Norway. She has her port anchor deployed and an accommodation ladder is rigged to the deck aft. Lifeboat 18 has been launched and one of the ship's motor tenders is suspended under the foremast derrick which is swung out to port. The photographer is on board a boat heading for shore from the ship. There are patches of snow on the mountains in the background.
