About Hurtigruten

Hurtigruten is one of the world’s great journeys, sailing and caring for the Norwegian coast since 1893. We are proud to be a national icon for generations of Norwegians and to have a special place in the hearts of our guests from around the world.

The history of Hurtigruten

For the generations of local Norwegians who live and work on the Norwegian coast, the words ‘hurtig ruten’ are as common as ‘fjord’, ‘fjell’, and ‘fisk’. Our ships are as part of Norwegian life as the fjords and mountains.

Sail with us and become a part of who we are: the spirit of Norway since 1893.

Food and drink on board

There’s a Norwegian expression we like to say after a good meal: ‘takk for maten’. It’s one you’ll want to remember. Our chefs take pride in our fjord-to-fork approach, using only the best ingredients found along the Norwegian coast.
