Offering exceptional explorer voyages with a diverse range of excursions
Browse cruisesWhen the Norwegian government decided to create a connection between the north and the south, Richard With and his friend Anders Holthe took on the challenge of thoroughly mapping the seas along the coastline. In 1893, Captain Richard With's steamer, DS Vesteraalen, was brought into regular service along the coast of Norway, and Hurtigruten were established. Over 120 years later, Hurtigruten is still a key part of Norwegian life and carry essential goods as well as people along the stunning Norwegian coastline – as well as expedition voyages from Antarctica to the Arctic and inbetween.

Hurtigruten offers their passengers a new take on the cruising experience, with each cruise featuring a vast variety of unique sights, experiences, and excursions. Hurtigruten ships provide a daily lifeline to communities in some of the most beautiful and remote places along Norway’s western and northern coast between Bergen and Kirkenes. Hurtigruten operates a daily passenger and freight shipping service but also some of the world’s finest explorer voyages in Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen and across the Atlantic
Hurtigruten dazzles their passengers with their specialised destination-focused itineraries. Travel with Hurtigruten and experience an ever-changing landscape of sapphire fjords, snow-capped peaks, quaint farms and bustling fishing villages hugging the Norwegian coast line – not forgetting, of course, the Northern Lights. Your voyage is filled with opportunities to indulge each of the senses with sights and sounds that can’t be found with other cruise lines.
From kayaking on the River Nid to Husky sledging through the Arctic wilderness or fishing for piranhas in Maica Lake, Hurtigruten’s extensive collection of excursions offers more opportunities to delve deeper into what makes Hurtigruten the world's leaders in exploration travel.
Once above the Arctic Circle, your hunt for the Northern Lights commences. Your best chance of experiencing the Northern Lights is on a Hurtigruten voyage during their winter season (running between October and March).
Hurtigruten ships are designed to allow you to fully appreciate the spectacular scenery through which they sail. Comfortable cabins, panoramic lounges, and a friendly atmosphere comprise the core of the on board experience. Informality is key, leaving you free to relax and enjoy the landscapes at will, whilst the modest size of the ships encourage passengers to interact with like-minded and interesting people.
Whether you choose the lavish buffet or a three-course sit-down meal, you can rest assured that Hurtigruten's chefs have used only the very best seasonal ingredients. Locally sourced fresh produce is collected from port each day and used to prepare a range of dishes, including traditional Norwegian seafood and the heavily African-influenced cuisine that characterises Brazil.
Hurtigruten are currently working to create the world’s first silent and fully electric Arctic and Antarctic ships. These auxiliary electric engine ships will feature a fully-fledged hybrid engine. The first arrival is expected to join the fleet in 2018, with a second ship planned for mid 2019.
