Travelers trust Hurtigruten to take them to the intimate places of the Norwegian coast; secret fjords, myth-inspiring mountains, hidden hamlets. Hurtigruten delivers spectacular landscapes under the glow of summer’s Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights for the first time or the hundredth time. And it's always side by side with local Norwegians, experiencing everyday life and coastal culture at its most authentic and real.
If you are new to Hurtigruten, I hope you find this introduction valuable. If you are already familiar, perhaps this will ignite memories of special moments along the Norwegian waterways. In any case, please do reach out if you'd like information on cruising with Hurtigruten. I highly recommend it!

Why choose a cruise to Norway with Hurtigruten?
1. We are not your normal cruise line
You won’t find waterslides, casinos, or a strict dress code on a Hurtigruten cruise ship. Instead, you’ll enjoy an intimate and easy-going atmosphere, where you can relax, recharge, and take in the beauty of the Norwegian fjords.
2. Nobody knows the Norwegian coast better
Since our first sailing in 1893, you’ve trusted us to take you to the intimate places of the Norwegian coast; secret fjords, myth-inspiring mountains, hidden hamlets, and majestic waterfalls. We’ve crossed the Arctic Circle under the glow of summer’s Midnight Sun and shown you the Northern Lights at the North Cape, for the first time or the hundredth time.
3. You're in good hands
While sailing along a Hurtigruten cruise, you will be accompanied by an expert Coastal Experience Team. Using their hands-on experience of Norway, they have one mission: to enhance your voyage by offering engaging insights on the nature, wildlife, and culture you encounter along the way.
4. We have a Northern Lights Promise
A Hurtigruten cruise is one of the best ways to the aurora borealis. And we're so sure you'll see them during your time on board, that we make you a promise no-one can match. If the Northern Lights do not appear on your voyage of 11 days or more, during the aural season between September 20th and March 31st, we will give you another 6- or 7-day Coastal Express trip FREE OF CHARGE.
5. Our food showcases Norway's finest
On a voyage with us you won’t just see the Norwegian coast; you’ll taste it too. As we sail its length, we pick from its pantry, sourcing the finest homegrown produce from the ports we visit, for you to enjoy in our onboard restaurants.
6. Our ships are built to enjoy the view
Whether from the comfort of your cabin, in our panoramic observation lounge, or in a hot tub on deck. And with fewer than 500 guests on board, it's easy to find a peaceful spot to soak up the scenery.
7. We work with on-the-ground experts
We partner with local suppliers to offer you a truly authentic experience with every shore excursion. Each has a wealth of knowledge about their local area, and they’re passionate about sharing their expertise and unique offerings with visitors like you.
8. We are committed to sustainable travel
Channelling the same pioneering spirit as our first voyage in 1893, we are embarking on a journey to build our first fully zero-emission ship by 2030. We are also working to improve the efficiency of our entire fleet, cutting CO2 emissions by 25% and NOx by 80%.
