Norwegian Coastal Express Museum
Fodor's choice
At this museum of the region's maritime history, you can go aboard the MS Finnmarken, a ship dating from 1956 that used to make the journey along the country's rugged coast. It was among the many ships that sailed the Hurtigruten, or "Express Route." It takes you through the history of long-distance ferries and details how shipping routes came into existence. It doesn't overlook the human element; including the lives lost opening up the region to travel and commerce.
