Originally the Hurtigruten cruise from Bergen to Kirkenes, at the Russian border, was the postal route. Not a postal route, but the postal route. During the 1800s, this was the only way to transport mail to the outlying towns along this coastal route. Hurtigruten ships still display the Norwegian postal flag by special permission, and today they transport vehicles, cargo, and the occasional piece of mail along with their rugged passengers.
