If you have the name of the ship and the departure date from Norway, it should be possible to narrow the search a lot. he different shipping lines had quite spesific routes, so if your ancestors didn't "fool around" in Britain they would be leaving on the line's first possible ship. Which you will be able to find in the USA immigration databases (for instance the Ellis Island database) If you post ship name and departure date here, I'm sure you will get help.
