Hurtigruten Coastal Express

From the magnificent fjords of Norway to the awesome ice-filled bays of Antarctica, Hurtigruten is renowned for its unique range of voyages to remote, beautiful and dramatic coastlines, from the far north to the distant south. Created for explorers, by explorers, Hurtigruten isn’t your average cruise line. In fact, they’d rather you didn’t call them a cruise line at all. Hurtigruten are adventurers and expedition experts, sustainability leaders and intrepid explorers. On small ship adventures spanning from pole to pole – and everywhere in between with 250 destinations in 30 countries – they are legends of the Norwegian fjord routes and the revolutionaries in Svalbard. When only a life-affirming, authentic escape from the ordinary will do, only a Hurtigruten cruise will do.

Over 125 years of experience has gone into developing Hurtigruten’s custom-built, state-of-the-art ships and Hurtigruten are inspiring a generation with revolutionary battery hybrid powered vessels that really care for the seas they sail. MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof are ground-breakers, but style isn’t compromised in favour of sustainability here. Hurtigruten’s ships are Scandi-inspired havens of relaxation reflecting the scenery just outside your window; think natural granite, oak and birch, with neutral textures and covetable Hurtigruten fleece throws that are difficult to leave behind once your time aboard ends. All cabins are outside, many of them with private balconies; some even feature private outdoor hot tubs with spectacular views as standard.

Hurtigruten have been sailing the Norwegian coast since 1893 and nobody knows it better – they don’t know the locals; they are the locals. Between providing a local lifeline to communities between Bergen and Kirkenes, Hurtigruten also show guests from further afield the wonders of the Norwegian fjords. Mealtimes are a culinary journey through the world’s finest coastal kitchen, local suppliers meaning the freshest, tastiest ingredients sourced sustainably and served in Torget, the signature Hurtigruten restaurant that could hold its own amongst the world-class eateries of Oslo.
