Ah, I think I've got an answer from someone very familiar with Hurtigruten.
(The Internet is an *amazing* resource. However did we manage "way back then"? )

Apparently for shorter trips, less than 24 hours, and I think yours is about 23 hours, no cabin is "required".?
(And I wonder if they thus save cabins for those with >24 hour trips, perhaps until the last minute?)

flatlander, does this match your understanding?

That would also explain why there is a capacity greater than the cabin sleeping capacity.
(Of course, these numbers might not match up depending upon how many are booked in each cabin/suite.)
