Live the Legend of Norway

Hurtigruten have been the spirit of Norway since 1893, caring for its coast and inviting the world to travel our home as a local. Come and sail our original historic route that shaped our nation. Or embark with us on new sailings that stay longer in ports handpicked by us for you.

Our guests have trusted us to take them to the intimate places of the Norwegian coast; secret fjords, myth-inspiring mountains, hidden hamlets. We’ve brought them to spectacular landscapes under the glow of summer’s Midnight Sun and shown them the Northern Lights for the first time or the hundredth time.

Guests come from near and far to travel side by side with local Norwegians, experiencing everyday life here and coastal culture at its most authentic. This is our story together, intertwined and connected at the heart of the Norwegian coast. We warmly welcome you to come and take your place in it on voyages new and old – the choice is yours!

CLASSIC VOYAGES

The Original Coastal Express

Our signature voyage along the Norwegian coast travels from the southern city of Bergen, across the Arctic Circle, up to Kirkenes, and back. It’s 12 days and 2,500 nautical miles of some of the most stunning scenery you’ve ever seen.

Norway’s world-famous fjords will be on full display, dotted with farms and charming fishing villages. Admire the mountains and myths of the Helgeland Coast and brace yourself for the sheer beauty of the idyllic Lofoten and Vesterålen islands.

Along the way, your ship stops at 34 coastal communities, big and small, day and night. We dock in villages and towns for 10 to 45 minutes, and cities for a few hours. Ports we visit at night on the northbound section of the voyage can be seen during the day southbound.

You can even decide to do the northbound voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes over seven days one time, and the six-day south voyage another. We also offer short two to five-day voyages and specific port-to-port bookings.
