About Hurtigruten
Routes to choose from
The Coastal Express runs daily between Bergen and Kirkenes, calling at up to 34 ports. Stops range from ten minutes to four hours, enough for a quick look at a harbour town or a longer wander ashore. Two further routes, the Svalbard Line and The North Cape Line, push further north, and expedition cruises bring an onboard Expedition Team to guide you. Northern Lights sightings are most likely from October to March.
What the fare covers
On board, Norway's Coastal Kitchen serves dishes built on regional ingredients picked up along the way. Accommodation, meals, lectures and some excursions are covered, and on many sailings food and drink are all-inclusive.
