Just this past july we rode the Hurtigruten from Bergen to Trondheim. Although the upper decks of the MV Polarlys are like a modest and tasteful cruise ship, and the majority of passengers were there for the scenery and the day-trip excursions, they do still haul cargo and commuters. At every stop there are cars and cargo being put on and off the cargo deck. One surprise was when I got up at 4am to see the famous road bridge at Måløy, and walking through the Panorama deck found there were a dozen people sacked out sleeping on the couches. Apparently you can buy a no-stateroom ticket cheap, and people do.
