Tiny farmhouses cling precariously to the slopes, while quaint villages sit nestled in small, protected coves. Like long fingers of the sea, the fjords penetrate deep into the heartland of Norway, creating watery roadways to isolated villages. Join us on this spring journey on board the *ms Nordnorge*. Originally developed to serve the remote communities of northern Norway, this specially designed vessel serves a dual purpose: in addition to carrying freight for the cities and villages, they allow cruisers a unique opportunity to visit these picturesque settlements while sailing the inside passage to the North Cape.
