Norway is their home – a living legend, a land of myth and magic. Many Norwegians grow up to fairy tales and folklore inspired by natural beauty Norway is known for. Here, their mountains are made of trolls and the Northern Lights are their bridges to Valhalla. Sailing Norway’s coast since 1893, they have been at the heart of that legend, connecting people together, and sustaining communities for generations. Let them show you the true culture of Norway and its coast. You’ll peer deeper into everyday life here, share in authentic culture, and meet genuine people who call the coast home.

They have designed their voyages to be your escape from the stresses of a fast-paced world. Settle into the soothing rhythm of life at sea. Admire the beauty of Norway’s coast unfolding before you. Appreciate the moments of wonder. Their ships are big enough for you to find quiet spots for some quality alone time, but small enough to create a cosy atmosphere that makes it easy to chat to like-minded shipmates. Here, you’ll feel calm and content without any distractions. Norwegians are down-to-earth people so they don’t believe in dress codes onboard. Wear your hiking shoes to dinner or you slippers to breakfast. Swap stories in the bar, read in the lounge, do a jigsaw puzzle. It’s up to you, they are your home at sea.

You will travel with more meaning when you sail with Hurtigruten: going off the beaten track; being connected to the communities; joining local excursions; tasting homegrown ingredients; caring for the nature of the coast – these all enrich your voyage. You won’t just visit Norway. You’ll live it.

There are two distinct products and ways to explore Norway with Hurtigruten: Original and Signature voyages.

Their Original voyages connect Norway’s local communities and have been the heart and soul of the coast since 1893. Sailing on an Original voyage means you will experience their famous Coastal Express – a route they founded over 130 years ago, loved for generations. The Coastal Express sails day and night to 34 diverse ports, from frontier Arctic cities to quiet fishing villages, spending between 10 minutes to several hours in each. Travel alongside local Norwegians as their ships bring passengers, cargo, and cars to different communities and taste local ingredients from their Norway’s Coastal Kitchen onboard food concept, sourced where they sail at 15 points.

Signature voyages are their elevated front-row experiences to Norway’s highlights, with premium all-inclusive food and drink and enhanced onboard guiding. Choose The Svalbard Line and sail the coast of Norway in summer or autumn to the remote Arctic archipelago of Svalbard and the last town before the North Pole. Or sail on The North Cape Line, a northern lights adventure between Bergen or Oslo and the North Cape at the top of Europe, in autumn, winter or spring.

They have handpicked the destinations on their Signature voyages because they know they will give you the most enchanting, most breath-taking, and most once-in-a-lifetime discovery of Norway, al on a silver platter. They will visit one or two ports each day for several hours at a time. This will give you plenty of time to walk around, join exciting, tailored excursions curated by them, and really get to know each place like a local.
