Upon arrival, embark your Coastal Ship for your 11-night voyage
Your voyage starts in the lovely city of Bergen. Before departure, you may want to explore this colourful gateway to the fjords. Bergen was founded in 1070 AD, and retains a great deal of its character, charm and history. Visit the UNESCO-listed Bryggen district with colourful wharfs dating back to the 14th century.
Enjoy a tasty dinner buffet made from fresh coastal produce. Sail north from Bergen along the Viking route of Hjeltefjord. Spend the rest of the evening relaxing as you admire the spectacular landscapes from the deck or the panorama lounge.
Navigate through beautiful skerries and islands before reaching Ålesund, famed for its well preserved Art Nouveau architecture.
Molde is known as the ‘City of Roses’ because of its lovely municipal gardens. This attractive coastal town has an amazing view of 222 mountain peaks across the fjord, called ‘the Molde Panorama’.
Founded by Viking king Olav Tryggvason in 997, Trondheim today is a unique mix of the ancient and modern. Join our optional excursion to the soaring Nidaros Cathedral, Norway’s only gothic cathedral and the burial place of St. Olav (Haraldsson). Marvel at the cathedral’s exquisite works of art, architectural details and medieval statues.
In the afternoon, the ship sails northwest, passing the Kjeungskjær lighthouse, islets and rocky reefs. After that the ship heads towards charming Rørvik.
Today you will cross the Arctic Circle, marking your best chance to see Northern Lights in winter and experience the Midnight Sun in summer. Hurtigruten mark the occasion with a fun Arctic Circle ceremony on deck.
In the Arctic zone, you’ll have more chances to see the Northern Lights. There’s much to see as you navigate the narrow channels towards the stunning city of Tromsø, capital of the Arctic, where you can try your hand at husky dog sledding or snowmobiling (available at a supplement)
Enjoy magnificent sub-Arctic landscapes as you cross the 71st parallel on your journey towards the North Cape, one of the northernmost points on the European continent. An optional excursion to the North Cape plateau puts you at 71°10’21’N, only 2,000 km away from the geographic North Pole. Stop for a photo at the Globe Monument, then continue on through the homeland of the indigenous Sámi people up to Kjøllefjord.
Kirkenes offers a wide range of classic winter activities, like dog-sledging, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and visiting an Arctic Ice Dome.
On this polar stretch, you’ll visit Hammerfest, home to the UNESCO-listed Meridian Column. You arrive in Tromsø at night where you can enjoy a local night out or visit the Arctic Cathedral for a magical midnight concert (available at a supplement).
This stunning stretch of coastline past the beautiful Vesterålen islands towards Lofoten is a real highlight and offers some of the most beautiful scenery of the Norwegian Coast. As you enter the narrow Trollfjord strait at Raftsundet, you’ll be mesmerised by the steep mountains towering over you.
As you sail along the Helgeland coast, you pass hundreds of islets, fertile farmland and steep granite walls rich in local lore. On deck, you can see the strange mountain Torghatten, famous for its distinctive hole right through the middle. Look out for the impressive Seven Sisters mountain range as well.
Spend the morning in Trondheim, then sail through the majestic Trondheimsfjord past thousands of islets and fishing boats to Kristiansund, Norway’s “cured cod capital”. As your ship crosses the open sea on your way to Molde, known as Norway’s ‘City of Roses’, you’ll see the steep, grey, pointed peaks of the Romsdal Alps.
You’ll have a chance to glimpse Nordfjord, under the enormous Jostedal Glacier, mainland Europe’s largest. The ship then docks at Florø in the morning where you can take in the harbour and marina.
Leaving Florø, you’ll spot Stabben Lighthouse, a favourite subject for photographers. There’s also stunning views to enjoy as we cross the mouth of Sognefjord, the longest and widest fjord in the whole of Norway. As you reach the final port in the afternoon, the ship will navigate through the last islands and skerries of our Norway scenic route, and sail down Hjeltefjord to arrive into Bergen.
