2016-2017 CLOSER TO THE COAST OF
DEAR ADVENTURER
The essence of Norway’s appeal is remarkably simple: this is
one of the most beautiful countries on earth, and Hurtigruten
is an adventure that is unmistakably Norwegian. “The world’s
most beautiful sea voyage” is often the phrase used to describe
the traditional Hurtigruten sailing from Bergen to Kirkenes and
back, and we couldn’t agree more.
Our ships sail calmly through majestic fjords and call on remote
small ports where many larger vessels are unable to enter on a
daily basis. We think that ours is the best way to explore Norway.
We have sailed along the Norwegian coast since 1893, but we are
still exploring and introducing new fjords and excursions along
the long and rugged Norwegian coast.
I invite you to join us for an adventure filled with natural and
active experiences. On a single voyage you will visit
