Itinerary

About Hurtigruten ShipsHurtigruten has eleven ships operating on the Norwegian Coastal Voyage at any one time. Last year, four of the ships underwent a major refurbishment. Contemporary yet understated, decor and furnishings now reflect modern Scandinavian style, with naturally sourced materials and inspiration taken from the breathtaking coastal landscapes. A Hurtigruten cruise is an escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Relaxed and informal, there is no dressing up for dinner and menus are planned with fresh, local ingredients.

The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon caused by electrically charged solar particles passing into the Earth’s atmosphere. Also known as the Aurora Borealis, which means ‘dawn of the north’, the aurora can appear suddenly, filling the sky with incredible speed with great arcs as ghostly wisps in green, yellow, red and violet dance above the horizon, before disappearing again.
