In Bergen, Greg and I boarded the Hurtigruten
ferry the MS Trollfjord for what was billed as the “most beautiful voyage in
the world.” One of the first things they
tell you on the Hurtigruten is that their boats are not cruise ships. They are working ferries. But while the Trollfjord might not have
glitzy entertainment and endless food like most cruises, it was plenty
comfortable and after we settled in and went up on deck, here’s what we were
treated to.

And that was within the first 24 hours. Here's a map of Norway that traces our route. The boat does stop at those places either on the way up or on the way down.
