In the home waters of the Norwegian coast, cruise steamers and coastal ships have been part of the country's very lifeline for over a century. Beneath the Midnight Sun or the mystical Northern Lights, daily departures of the Coastal Hurtigruten or the coastal voyage across the Arctic Circle from Bergen to Kirkenes, take these ships right to the heart of coastal Norway.

The Hurtigruten calls at 34 ports, most never visited by commercial cruise liners, our ships deliver freight, post and passengers to remote communities, some of which are home to just a few hundred people. Sailing along this beautiful coastline, through magical fjords to enchanted islands, we enjoy a genuine, friendly and unpretentious voyage which is truly Norwegian.
