Sail Norway solo - not alone

Traveling solo on a Hurtigruten ship doesn't have to mean traveling alone. Your ship will have plenty of communal spaces and events where you can easily meet like-minded travelers.

Or, if you’ve chosen to travel solo because you want time by yourself, that’s easy too. Whether you're a seasoned solo traveler or contemplating your first solo adventure, a voyage with Hurtigruten lets you be as sociable as you choose.

Choose your voyage

Treat yourself

Cruising solo means only having yourself to please – with a whole cabin to yourself. Where you eat, which excursions you join, when you go to bed. It’s all up to you.

Stay on deck all night and watch the Northern Lights. Skip lunch in favor of the hot tub. Bus tour instead of kayaking. Stay in your cabin with a book. Or crochet and chit-chat with locals in the bar all day. You are free to choose. This is your voyage.
