A Moment of Relaxation on a Norwegian Ferry: Duty-Free Indulgence in the 1950s This charming photograph captures the spirit of adventure and relaxation as three happy travelers pose on the deck of a Norwegian ferry boat, their faces glowing with the joy of their overseas holiday. The year is the early 1950s, a time when rationing of food and drink was still a significant part of daily life in the United Kingdom. The allure of duty-free purchases, with their promise of greater affordability and variety, made overseas travel an attractive proposition for those seeking a break from the austerity at home. The two women and a man in the photograph proudly display their recently acquired duty-free luxuries: packets of cigarettes and bottles of whisky. The cigarettes, with their elegant, streamlined packaging, were a far cry from the meager rations available in the UK. The whisky, a rare treat, would have been a welcome addition to any post-dinner conversation or evening spent with friends. The sense of indulgence is palpable as the trio savors the moment, their purchases a testament to the freedom and excitement of travel. The deck of the Norwegian ferry boat serves as the perfect backdrop for this scene, with its wooden planks, ropes, and the vast expanse of water stretching out before them. The sun sets in the distance, casting a warm glow over the scene, as the travelers take a moment to appreciate their surroundings and the simple pleasures of their journey. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when the simple act of purchasing duty-free goods was a thrilling and meaningful part of the travel experience.
