Hurtigruten ships are working vessels which call in at different ports throughout the day and night, transporting goods and passengers. More than just a means of travel for the locals between remote ports, this route and the ships that sail up and down it year round, have become a popular way for visitors to explore the region. One of the draws of travelling this route is that you are always in eye shot of the remarkable scenery of coastal Norway.
The voyage takes you from Bergen to Kirkenes and back again in 12 days , calling at 34 ports and covering over 2,500 nautical miles, which allows you to explore every inch of the coastal magic Norway has to offer. Any time of year, this voyage is like no other!
The drama of the scenery and wildlife is simply breathtaking. Twenty two of the ports lie north of the Arctic Circle – and you have the opportunity to join optional excursions. Whatever you may miss on the northbound sailing during the night, you are able to see in daylight on the southbound sailing.
