Norwegian Coastal Voyage
Right in the heart of Norway and its people, the Hurtigruten carries passengers, mail and supplies to over 30 ports along the Norwegian coastline, most never visited by commercial cruise liners.From the magnificent fjords of Norway to the awesome ice-filled bays of Antarctica, Hurtigruten is renowned for its comprehensive collection of voyages to remote, beautiful and dramatic coastlines from the far north to the distant south. With over 120 years of maritime experience and their fleet of 16 intimate and comfortable ships, they offer voyages that go beyond the traditional cruise, allowing closer encounters with environments, wildlife and people along shorelines near and far.
With daily departures year round, the Hurtigruten journey begins in Bergen and travels north across the Arctic Circle and beyond as it meanders through the dramatic splendours of the coast. As you weave in and out of narrow inlets, you will sail along some of the world’s most beautiful coastline, nearly always in sight of land, and discover what makes this voyage unique.

Many of the 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.
Each Hurtigruten ship has a distinct style and character and no two journeys will ever be the same as the changing season, climate, flora and fauna, local people you meet and the friendly English speaking crew, make each Hurtigruten voyage a different experience.
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 you board your Hurtigruten ship you can be proud that you are part of a tradition that has spanned three centuries. It is this commitment to a proud tradition that has made us an essential part of Norwegian life.
The Hurtigruten fleet consists of fourteen ships with eleven operating on the route at any one time. The ships vary depending on their size and age.
