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!

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.
