A working coastal route that has run since 1893 and now doubles as a cruise up the whole Norwegian coast.
Hurtigruten is the Norwegian coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes, running daily all year, established in 1893 under a government contract. The first voyage left Trondheim on 2 July 1893 for Hammerfest and took 67 hours. Hurtigruten markets it as the original Norwegian coastal voyage.
Hurtigruten describes summer, June to August, as its busiest season with the longest days, and gives October to the end of March as northern lights season. Check current sailings and itineraries with the operator.
The voyage starts in Bergen, and Visit Norway says it calls at Trondheim daily and Tromsø twice a day.
