Norway is a melting-pot of historical, cultural and natural marvels. It is a land of breathtaking landscapes, charming architecture and long-held tradition. This country is famed for its striking natural beauty, and rightly so.

With its long, winding coastline, dramatic fjords, Midnight Sun and Northern Lights, Norway boasts some of the most beautiful panoramas in the world. And it is not solely in nature that we recognise Norway’s charm. Discover the seaside villages, the stave churches, the original architectural style and the pleasant little cafés of Norway and you will be all the more enamoured with this Northern European gem.

The finest way to experience these natural and cultural wonders is by taking an Hurtigruten voyage. Hurtigruten’s Classic Coastal voyages range from 6 to 12 days and sail from Bergen to Kirkenes and back, calling at over 30 fascinating ports along the way. As you sail along Norway’s deeply serrated coastline, you may spot otters, badgers, moose, reindeer and majestic whales, and high above, hundreds of dazzling bird species including the mighty Sea Eagle. Cities with brightly coloured houses flank the harbour and offer a warm welcome. Whether you’re seeking to learn more about the days of those legendary fiery Vikings, sample the array of museums and galleries, meet with a Sami family and share their cultural stories, or hear a classical concert in an Arctic Cathedral, a
journey into Norway is sure to leave you transported.

With each changing season, Norway takes on a different tenor; shedding the shades of the previous months to be revitalised by the imprint of a new season. Bask in Norway’s summertime 24-hour daylight in the land of the midnight sun, where you can hike, fish, bicycle, river raft and view nparalleled beauty aboard mountain railways.

In autumn, the landscape is painted over with red and golden hues, the air begins to cool and the first sightings of snow can be seen atop the region’s mountains. During this time of year, Lofoten and Vesteralen boast some of the most impressive scenery of the coast and Northern Light sightings begin.

Norway’s other personality resonates in the winter, where you may try your hand at driving your own husky dog-sled team, jump on a snowmobile, go ocean bound to fish for king crab, and of course, search the horizon for the impressive Northern Lights as they paint themselves across the Arctic sky.

Spring introduces you to an Arctic awakening, where you can experience three seasons in just five days. Spring brings with it a fascinating contrast as the south begins to thaw and the winter frost lingers in the north. Explore the two extremes of the Norwegian environment as you sail along its length.
