Highlights of this voyage
Show full itinerary
Lyngen Alps
Sail past the snow-clad Lyngen Alps – serrated mountains mirrored in still Arctic waters, their slopes shifting with cloud and light like a vast, living mural of the north.
The North Cape
Stand at the edge of Europe atop the North Cape plateau – a place of wind, vast skies, and unbroken horizons where the Arctic Ocean stretches toward the pole.
Slettnes lighthouse
Spot Slettnes, the world’s northernmost mainland lighthouse – a steadfast tower on the edge of the Barents Sea, standing solitary amid shifting fog and the low Arctic light.
Remote Kirkenes
End your voyage near the eastern border in Kirkenes, a frontier town of snow hotels, wartime echoes, and quiet resilience where Norway’s coast meets the wide, frozen wilderness.

A different kind of cruise experience
We’ve been carrying visitors, locals and cargo along the Coastal Express route, steady as the tides since 1893. Our iconic postal ships call at 34 picturesque ports between Bergen and Kirkenes all year round – but it’s never just about the schedule. It’s about feeling the true pulse of everyday life along “The World’s Most Beautiful Voyage”.
On an Original voyage, you don’t just cruise Norway’s coast. You live it.
