Norway's Hurtigruten famously offers guests a memorable 12-day cruise up and down the Norwegian coastline, but the company's ships also serve dual purpose as a local passenger and cargo service.
In this week's episode, I go behind the scenes on the MS Vesterålen to meet some of the dedicated people who keep the vessel running.
If you haven't seen it yet, you may want to check out the ship review and video tour first. You'll get a feel for the ship and meet Kathia, another employee from the MS Vesterålen.
We meet the Chief Officer on the bridge, the person in charge of managing the supplies on board, the hotel manager in charge of the guest experience, plus two people who work with Hurtigruten on the cargo management and tour guide side of things.
