At the edge of the world
- Port: Longyearbyen
- Day of voyage: 1
Details
Welcome to Svalbard! Here, magnificent brown and green mountains rise and ripple up from the High Arctic tundra while rivers of snow-melt trickle through the valley plains, glistening under the summer sun.
Your voyage begins in the Svalbard archipelago’s largest settlement. Nestled on the banks of Isfjord, Longyearbyen is a former coal mining colony. Today, it’s better known as a hub for adventure travellers, as well as scientists and engineers attached to internationally vital research projects, like the famous Global Seed Vault.
Arrange to arrive a day or two before your voyage to, spend some time strolling around the town and going on excursions into the surrounding landscape.
Whatever you do, take a moment to just be here, now, in Svalbard. You’re at a latitude more than 78°N and under 1,500 kilometres from the North Pole itself. The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer average between zero and eight degrees Celsius thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream. Get settled into your cabin and as afternoon turns to evening – with the sun still high in the sky – watch Longyearbyen fall into the horizon as you sail away into Isfjorden and head even farther north.

Science on the Arctic frontier
- Port: Ny-Ålesund
- Day of voyage: 2
Details
At the tip of Brøgger peninsula, on one of Kongsfjord’s shores, is Ny-Ålesund. Like Longyearbyen, it began as a coal mine but became host to scientific stations from the mid 20th century. During the summer, there are over a hundred researchers based in the town, representing 20 glaciology and climate institutes from more than 10 countries.
Wander around what is one of the northernmost settlements in the world, drop in at the local museum and souvenir shop, or send a far-flung postcard back to friends and family from the small post office.
If you weren’t up in time to enjoy the impressive views of Kongsfjord on the way to Ny-Ålesund, make sure you’re on deck as we leave. It’s one of the largest fjords in the area, with an entrance guarded by two colossal creaking glaciers that regularly deposit ice into the fjord.
This stretch is also a good place to look out for walrus basking on the shores and for many different species of migrating birds, including puffins, king eiders, pink-footed geese, and guillemots.
Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer can sometimes be spotted on land while the white beluga whale has been known to surface in the waters here too. If we’re very lucky, we might even see a polar bear prowling the coast for bearded and ringed seals.
Select the day

Leaving Svalbard
- Port: Barents Sea
- Day of voyage: 3
Details
It’s time for us to say farewell to Svalbard and to Spitsbergen and sail south to mainland Norway.
On board the ship, use the day to relax. If skies are clear, enjoy some summer sun out on deck and keep on the lookout for whales, dolphins, and porpoises.
For some fascinating insights into local history and wildlife, catch a lecture delivered by the Expedition Team.
Enjoy the sumptuous food and drinks on board, courtesy of our Norway’s Coastal Kitchen concept that features the finest, most flavoursome, local Norwegian produce.
You can also curl up with a good book in the lounge or chat about your hopes for the voyage ahead with new-found friends in the bar.
Select the day

Exploring ‘Little Norway’
- Port: Senja
- Day of voyage: 4
Details
After a day at sea, we arrive in mainland Norway.
Our first stop of the day is Tromsø, to drop off any cargo from Svalbard and pick up cargo bound for ports to the south, before we continue south to Senja. The island is one of the country’s largest, and northern Norway’s fast-rising star destination, as you’d expect for a place ranked among CNN’s top ten most beautiful islands in the world.
Often proudly described by locals as a ‘mini Norway’, Senja has a concentration of diverse landscapes that mirror different parts of the Norwegian coast, from the sandy beaches, turquoise waters and lofty mountains of its northern coast to the rocky coastline and pine forests of southern Senja and Ånderdalen National Park. You'll find rolling hills and birch forests to the east.
Disembark in the charming fishing village of Torsken and explore by bus, e-bike, on foot, or take to the fjords on a wildlife safari on one of the optional excursions.

Fall in love with Lofoten
- Port: Stokmarknes, Svolvær
- Day of voyage: 5
Details
Start the day with a few hours in Stokmarknes, an historic town with a special place in our hearts. It’s the birthplace of Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express.
It’s a fitting place for the Hurtigruten Museum, where you are immersed in the atmosphere of a different era on our retired 1956 ship, MS Finnmarken, proudly encased in glass on the waterfront.
After Stokmarknes, we’ll sail via Raftsundet and Trollfjord to Lofoten. The rest of the day is all about exploring this breathtaking archipelago. Hailed as one of the most spectacular areas in all of Norway, you’ll understand why as you see its jagged green cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, climbing high into the sky like giant teeth.
The beating heart of the archipelago is the town of Svolvær where your ship will be based. There are shops and restaurants to enjoy, and the hours can be spent exploring and getting to know the town yourself.
To experience the mountains, islands, and villages around Svolvær, choose from a variety of handpicked top Lofoten excursions. You can go fishing, kayaking, or sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery on foot or on a bus tour.

Highlights of the Helgeland Coast
- Port: Brønnøysund
- Day of voyage: 6
Details
The ship continues south and reaches the midpoint of the Norwegian coast. This is the Helgeland Coast, a well-known stretch full of distinctive mountains that have inspired many a charming myth and local folklore.
We will base the ship in the town of Brønnøysund, which features a lovely marina and a Neo-Gothic stone church from 1870. Spend your time exploring the town or join optional excursions such as a RIB cruise.
Further along from Brønnøysund is the unique Torghatten Mountain. The first thing you’ll notice about Torghatten is the hole that pierces right through its centre. At an easy pace, it takes about an hour to reach the hole in Torghatten on an optional excursion. The panoramic view of the islands stretching out before you is well worth it.
Please note: For sailings from 2026 onwards, we will be calling at Bessaker rather than Brønnøysund.

Secret of the Sunnmøre Alps
- Port: Ålesund
- Day of voyage: 7
Details
The ship will make a brief stop in the town of Ålesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and picturesque position on a peninsula below Mount Aksla. If you’re joining the overland excursion to Hjørundfjord and Sæbo, this is where you disembark, or you can explore the town on foot. Near to Ålesund, cutting through the peaks of the Sunnmøre Alps, some 1,700 metres high, is magnificent Hjørundfjord. Its picture-perfect position embedded in the Sunnmøre Alps means it is the area’s hidden gem and a secret from most other ships.
On the banks of one of Hjørundfjord’s branches is the idyllic village of Sæbø. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy at your own pace – but don’t miss the free concert in the church. You can see more of the area on an optional guided walk through the beautiful scenery of the Urke Valley.
We are fast approaching the last day of our voyage. What better way to celebrate our Svalbard Line experience than a farewell dinner on our last night.

Next, we’ll head to the Tungenes rest area, perched at the tip of the headland between Steinfjord and Ersfjord. Take a stroll along the wooden walkway that leads out over the rocks to enjoy views of the North Sea to the west and the razor-sharp Okshornan mountains to the north.

Get a fantastic view of inner Gryllefjord

A great activity to soak up the summer weather
About this activity
Join a local guide on an invigorating evening tour of Senja by e-bike. Partly powered by electricity, these bikes are more powerful and easier to use than regular bicycles, so even an uphill ride won’t tire you out. This being the Arctic in summertime, the days are much longer, giving us plenty of time to see the island’s sights.
We’ll start the tour in Hamn and take the old road to Gryllefjordbotn and upwards to Ballsvikskardet Viewpoint, where we’ll stop to soak up the view. Admire the fjord and the surrounding mountains, perhaps illuminated by the soft glow of the evening sun.
From here, we follow the old road down on the opposite side and head back towards Hamn. If time allows, we will also visit the beautiful beach of Ballsevika.
Please note: you must be confident in how to use an e-bike to participate in this excursion. Excursion is subject to a minimum number of participants.

About this activity
Embark on an enthralling guided RIB tour through the captivating fjords of Torskenfjord, Skipsfjord, and Osternfjord. We begin at Torsken, where you’ll explore the intriguing waterworks that play an integral part in the region’s history. We then head to the summer pastures on Skipsfjord’s southern edge, where women rowed from bank to bank twice a day for milking. Legend has it that once, the fjord teemed with so many whales that the women hesitated to cross, opting to row along its length instead.
The tales continue at Ostern, where we’ll delve into the tragic stories of two World War II airplane wrecks. Next up is Kjerringberget and the iconic Kjerringa rock formation which, according to legend, was cursed by a priest. Weather permitting, we might also be able to visit some of the enchanting small islets off the coast of Senja.
As we explore the fjords, keep an eye out for seals, otters, and even small whales in the surrounding waters, as well as Sea Eagles and myriad seabirds in the skies above.

Once we reach Henningsvær, you’ll get the chance to explore world-class art galleries, including Gallery Lofoten. This gallery has the world's largest collection from the 20th century, the so-called "Golden age of North-Norwegian art".

About this activity
Step back in time with this unforgettable boat ride aboard a traditional cutter boat built in 1961.
A true relic of its era, few boats like this remain along Norway's coastline. Just the special sound of its engine ticking over has been known to cause floods of nostalgia in guests! With a crew of seasoned sailors, you’ll enjoy a relaxing cruise surrounded by breathtaking nature.
Look out for majestic Sea Eagles, fish for crabs, and listen to tales of Norway’s seafarers along the way. A highlight of the trip is passing by the well-known landmark, Kjerringskrevet , which has guided sailors safely through these waters for generations.
We’ll also stop at Skjervøya, an island on the edge of the open sea that’s home to just nine year-round residents. Here, we’ll go ashore and a local guide will share their knowledge of Skjervøya’s history, from its fishing heritage to stories of storms and shipwrecks. As we head back on the boat, you’ll get to taste some freshly caught crab – a great way to round off a nostalgic trip.

Best things about this excursion
Discover the town Ålesund and learn about its fascinating history
Stroll among its colourful streets and find out why the architecture here is so striking
Explore Brosundet harbour, where fishermen still sell their catch directly from their boats
About this activity
One of the best ways to explore Ålesund is on foot, and this walking tour takes you close to the spires, turrets, and medieval-style ornaments that characterise the town.
One winter’s night in 1904, a fire raged through Ålesund, leaving 10,000 people homeless. Over the next three years, the entire town centre was rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style. Today, Ålesund is one of Norway’s most unique and beautiful towns.
We’ll stroll past colourful houses in the pedestrian zone and learn about Ålesund’s strong maritime traditions as we visit Brosundet – fishermen sell their catch directly from their boats in this pretty-as-a-picture harbour.

About this activity
Voted “Europe's most scenic train journey” by Lonely Planet, the Rauma Railway is renowned for its magnificent views of vertical mountain walls and emerald-green rivers.
The route winds past some true Norwegian icons, including the mighty Trollveggen, Europe’s highest perpendicular mountain wall, and Kyllingbrua, the country's most-photographed railway bridge. With such an incredible setting, it’s easy to see why movies like Mission: Impossible and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince have been filmed here. And don’t worry about blurry photos – the train slows down as you pass these landmarks, making it easy for you to capture that million-dollar shot.
Along the way, you’ll hear tales of ancient trolls, rockfalls, and waterfalls, as well as and the dramatic story of how the railway rescued the entire 50-ton Norwegian gold reserve in April 1940.
The group will be split in two: one half will take the train, and the other will enjoy a guided bus tour along a similar route. We’ll reconvene at Bjorli, a beautiful mountain village, where you’ll have the opportunity to explore and stretch your legs before the return leg to Åndalsnes. Those who arrived by bus will return by train, and those who arrived by train will return by bus.
