Whether you are interested in taking a 5-day, 6-day, 7-day, 11-day or a 12-day cruise, Hurtigruten Cruises has the perfect itinerary for all budgets and backgrounds. In fact, Hurtigruten offers both big and small ships cruises, as well as adventure cruises, and sightseeing cruises. Some cruises even stop in small towns and villages to deliver cargo.
“Hurtigruten” means “fast route” in Norwegian. In service since 1893, Hurtigruten sails to remote towns and villages throughout Norway’s 1,250-mile west coast. The villages and communities are often so remote, that some have fewer than 100 residents. The cruise line features 34 ports between Bergen and Kerkenes. Travelers can choose between Norway cruises, Antarctica Cruises, Spitsbergen Cruises, Greenland Cruises, and Europe Cruises.
