Explore the iconic Coastal Express

The Coastal Express is the backbone of Hurtigruten’s voyages and has been sailing guests along Norway’s rugged coast for over 130 years. This 12-day round-trip from Bergen to Kirkenes lets you experience the very best of Norway’s coastline, stopping at 34 ports along the way.

Each day brings a new kind of adventure. One morning, you’re exploring the Art Nouveau streets of Ålesund; the next, you’re marvelling at Tromsø, the Arctic’s glowing capital. Optional excursions make this voyage even more exciting. You could go snowshoeing, visit the famed North Cape, or take a dog-sledding expedition across vast Arctic landscapes.

Back on board, every meal celebrates Norwegian flavours. The chefs use fresh, local ingredients, serving everything from Arctic char to traditional reindeer stew. With 11 different ships available for this voyage, the Coastal Express is an opportunity to soak up Norway’s dramatic landscapes while enjoying timeless comforts and warm hospitality.

A Northern Lights Promise like no other

The Northern Lights are a bucket-list must-see, and Hurtigruten takes the uncertainty out of planning with their Northern Lights Promise. If you don’t catch a glimpse of the aurora during your 11-day or longer voyage, Hurtigruten guarantees you’ll receive a free return trip. It’s their way of ensuring that everyone gets the chance to experience this jaw-dropping spectacle. The onboard crew even makes announcements whenever the lights appear, so you’ll never miss the action.
