Sail on a scenic Hurtigruten cruise in Norway

The dramatic 2,000-kilometre coastline of Norway is one of Europe’s great attractions, and for more than 100 years the popular Hurtigruten coastal ferry has been offering travellers a unique combo of Norwegian history, culture and world-famous scenery. In fact, Lonely Planet called the Hurtigruten cruise along the craggy, fjord-studded west coast of Norway "The World's Most Beautiful Voyage". So it’s no surprise that Hurtigruten coastal voyages in Norway are among the most popular tours offered by Nordic Visitor.

Our Norway tour packages are nearly all-inclusive, meaning that we handle all of your cruise reservations, accommodation both at sea and on land, as well as as any travel via train or rental car.

Highlights of a Hurtigruten cruise in Norway

The classic Hurtigruten coastal voyage runs south to north (and vice versa) between the charming city of Bergen and the arctic town of Kirkenes. It runs year-round, making it ideal to experience the midnight sun in summer or to enjoy Hurtigruten northern lights cruises in winter.

A one-way Hurtigruten Norway cruise covering the full route takes around 6 or 7 days and the voyage stops at 34 ports of call, with a variety of shore excursions on offer.



Here are just a few of the things you can experience on coastal Hurtigruten cruises in Norway:

  • Walk around the city of Ålesund and admire its renowned Art Nouveau architecture.
  • Sail up the Geirangerfjord, past tumbling waterfalls like the Seven Sisters and Bridal Veil.
  • Stroll past the colourful wharf houses in Trondheim, the original capital of Norway until the 16th century.
  • See the beautiful Lofoten Islands, well known for its jagged mountains and quaint fishing villages.
  • Visit lively Tromsø, "The Paris of the North”, where many famous 19th-century arctic expeditions began.
  • Cruise along the steep bird cliffs to the scenic North Cape, the northernmost point of mainland Europe.

Other Hurtigruten excursions you could enjoy include whale watching boat trips, coach tours to the Atlantic Ocean Road and more. You also have your choice of several cabin options when booking a Nordic Visitor Hurtigruten tour. What’s more, Hurtigruten ferries are equipped with many of the amenities of larger cruise ships, such as outdoor hot tubs, a fitness room, different dining rooms and lovely indoor and outdoor viewing decks for bird watching.

Customisations for a Hurtigruten coastal voyage

The best thing about Hurtigruten cruises in Norway is the hop-on, hop-off style of travel. You can opt to embark and disembark on a Hurtigruten ferry ship at ports other than Bergen or Kirkenes, so you can enjoy a shorter cruise in addition to travel by car or train.

A hugely popular addition to Hurtigruten cruises in Norway is the Norway in a Nutshell® train journey, which connects Oslo to Bergen via the Flåm Railway. Allocate at least 8 days in Norway if you wish to enjoy a train-cruise combo trip. We can also customise any itinerary to include trips to neighbouring Scandinavian countries.

Hurtigruten is much-loved for its heritage, but it’s also possible to travel the same route on a modern Havila ship. Ask your travel consultant about exploring Norway on a Havila voyage.

Quick facts about Hurtigruten

  • Hurtigruten was founded in 1893 to transport cargo, mail and passengers between coastal towns
  • In the old days, Norway’s fjords made road travel difficult and sometimes dangerous
  • Hurtigruten means “fast route” in Norwegian
  • Today the cruise line is considered a leader in the “slow travel” movement

Perfect

The tour was perfect and went smoothly the entire time. Communication from Nordic Visitor was timely and detailed. Would book with this tour company again.

Norway Road Trip - Complete, July 2023

Memories we'll cherish forever

We found Norway to be a fabulous country and enjoyed every minute of our trip. The scenery was fantastic, the places visited were brilliant and the people were incredibly friendly and helpful. The information pack provided by Nordic Visitor was invaluable, the route chosen for us was superb and the places we stayed in were great. Likewise, the excursions offered, especially the Rib Safari were fantastic and gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Lastly, but by no means least, Irja, our travel consultant, couldn't have been more helpful and I would like to extend a huge thank you to her for all that she did.

Northern Lights by Train and Cruise, October 2023

A great experience

Very well-organised tour and a great experience. Nordic Visitor were very professional and their experience was evident in choosing the well-located and comfortable accommodation they selected for us. Best of all we got to see the northern lights!

Norway Fjord Route by Car - Classic, June 2023

Incredibly happy!

Our travel agent, Małgorzata, was amazing to work with! She was able to add a few extra days in Oslo and arranged transportation via train to Bergen. Overall, I thought booking this vacation online and making payments was seamless. All the hotels we stayed in were nice, clean and safe! We loved the breakfast buffets, they were top notch! Also, collecting our rental car and navigating in a foreign country was seamless. We are incredibly happy that our tour package that we received at our first hotel included a physical map that had our tour highlighted.

Best of the Norwegian Fjords - Express, August 2023

Very satisfied customer

This was my second experience using Nordic Visitor. I am a very satisfied customer. A few years ago we did a self-drive tour of Iceland that was just amazing. This time we did a train/cruise combo tour of Norway. Once again, I can only say you will have a fantastic experience and you will appreciate the labuor of organising and planning being handled by experts who know what they are doing. The cruises through the fjords were beautiful as were the train trips. We loved the combination of train and boat travel as each offered distinct beauty from a different perspective. The country is truly lovely and we look forward to booking future travel with Nordic Visitor!

Best vacation we ever had!

Our family of 5 (3 adult children) loved our Norway fjord tour. We saw the most beautiful scenery and loved each hotel. The food was delicious. Something for everyone. Our guide Al and driver Chris kept things running smoothly. We will have memories to last a lifetime. Thank you Nordic Visitor. Best vacation we ever had!

An excellent decision to book with Nordic Visitor

Following research, we decided to book with Nordic Visitor. This was an excellent decision. The booking process was easy and informative and Hanna was always available for guidance. The accommodation provided was top class and, importantly, convenient to the train stations from which we travelled. Our tour was amazing throughout with stunning scenery and sights.
