Right to the heart of Norway and its people, Hurtigruten carries passengers, mail and supplies to over thirty ports along the Norwegian coastline, most never visited by commercial cruise liners.
Flexibility
With daily departures year round, the journey begins in Bergen and travels north across the Arctic Circle and beyond whilst meandering through the dramatic splendours of the coast. As we weave in and out of narrow inlets, we sail along some of the world’s most beautiful coastline, nearly always in sight of land, and discover what makes this voyage unique.
Ports
Many of our ports of call are tranquil hamlets on tiny islands whose inhabitants depend for their very existence on the Hurtigruten ships to bring the communities essential supplies and reunite families and friends.
Ships
Each ship has a distinct style and character and no two journeys will ever be the same as the changing seasons, climate, flora and fauna, local people you meet and the friendly English speaking crew, make each voyage a different experience.
Travellers
Like-minded people from across the world come to enjoy the magnificent scenery and informal atmosphere on board. Many take the opportunity to sail in summer during the period of the Midnight Sun, when the sun flirts with the horizon before curving skyward, bathing the glorious scenery in perpetual daylight. Winter provides the possibility of witnessing one of Nature's lavish displays – the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights as it is more commonly known, dancing in the Arctic twilight.
As we board our Hurtigruten ship, we are part of a tradition that has spanned three centuries. It is this commitment to a proud heritage that has made Hurtigruten an essential part of Norwegian life.
