Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between this tour and a Hurtigruten cruise-only voyage?
The Astronomy Voyage is a themed version of our Coastal Express voyage, sailing from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. It follows the same route and includes all the highlights, but with an added astronomy programme led by expert lecturers. You’ll attend talks, lectures and enjoy an exclusive visit to Tromsø’s planetarium - all designed to deepen your understanding of the Northern Lights and the night sky.
Is this a guided tour?
This tour includes a dedicated Tour Manager and a professional guest lecturer who accompany you throughout. However, it’s not a guided land tour - shore excursions along the coast remain optional (and at an additional cost) and are led by local guides.
