Discover your perfect Norway cruise
Since 1893, Hurtigruten has sailed Norway’s coastline every day, through winter darkness and endless summer light. Explore our different cruise types and find the one that feels right for you.
A Hurtigruten cruise is not just about where you go. It’s about what you experience along the way.
The glow of the Northern Lights in winter. The Midnight Sun shining low over the fjords. Fall colors from the trees. Christmas lights in small Arctic harbors.
For more than 130 years, we have sailed this coast as part of daily life here. Our captains know these waters. Our crews know the communities. Our small ships reach places others cannot.
Whichever itinerary you choose, you’ll see Norway as it truly is – shaped by nature, tradition and the rhythm of the sea.
Explore our different cruise types below and find the one that calls to you.
