Example itinerary:
DAY 1 : Oslo*
You've arrived
Welcome to Norway! First stop: Norway’s thriving capital,
Oslo. Your hotel is located in the heart of the city, with the rest of
the day or evening spent at your leisure. You’ll likely want
to explore the many charms the cosmopolitan capital has to offer. Why
not make your way to the city centre, making sure to take snaps of the
architecturally distinct Rådhuset town hall, Royal Palace,
and Oslo Cathedral. Along the waterfront, there’s Aker Brygge
for popular eateries, the imposing Akershus Fortress, and the gleaming
new buildings around Bjørvika waterfront. The latter is
where you’ll find modern attractions such as the Oslo Opera
House and landmark new Edvard Munch Museum which, as you’d
expect, has the world’s largest collection of works by the
iconic Norwegian artist. Or, if there’s enough
daylight left, you could even jump on the metro from Central station. A
short 20-minute ride is all it takes to bring you to the edge of a
tranquil alpine forest that overlooks the city.
DAY 2 : Oslo*
Discovering Norway’s capital
After breakfast at your hotel, we’ll go on a tour to two of
Oslo’s main attractions. Vigeland Sculpture Park is located
at the centre of splendid Frogner Park. There, you’ll find
more than 200 visually striking sculptures in bronze, granite, and cast
iron by prolific Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. Further
north from Vigeland, just outside of Oslo, is Holmenkollen Ski Jump.
You won’t be doing any jumping yourself, but the impressive
building enjoys panoramic views over the city, lakes, and fjord.
Beneath the ski jump is also the world’s oldest ski museum
featuring 2,500 pairs of skis and 4,000 years of skiing history. The
tour will end at the pier where your ship, MS Trollfjord, is waiting to
depart by early evening. Once we’ve welcomed you aboard and
you’ve settled into your cabin or suite, you’ll
meet your Coastal Experience Team. You’ll get to know each
member of the team well as they give lectures and organise onboard
activities for you throughout your voyage. Meet your fellow
guests in the ship’s two-storey panorama lounge and mark the
moment we make history by sailing from Oslo for the first time. Watch
as the capital’s twinkling lights fade into the distance and
admire the scenery and various points of interests seen along
Oslofjord.
DAY 3 : Kristiansand and Farsund
The city of lighthouses
Sitting along the southern tip of the country, Kristiansand is
Norway’s fifth largest city, with a population of 112,000
people. We aim to be alongside in the early morning, giving you a few
hours to explore. As you enjoy a guided walk, you might
notice that the city is built on a very uniform grid plan, with several
straight roads running from the harbour all the way through the city.
Along these roads, you’ll find architecture from different
eras, speaking to the extensive rebuilds the city had to go through
after major fires in the 18th and 19th centuries, and even a World War
II attack. On an optional excursion that starts from Kristiansand,
you’ll be able to visit the working Lindesnes Lighthouse,
which marks Norway’s southernmost point. See the beacon that
has been guiding seafarers to safety on dark nights since the early
20th century, and learn about the long history of the site that goes
all the way back to 1656. In the late afternoon, we’ll
continue to Farsund. There, you’ll get the chance to hike the
sandy beaches of Lista and see Lista Lighthouse. This is where guests
who went to Lindesnes Lighthouse will also catch up with the ship. It
may also be possible to visit a German fortress in Farsund. This
fortress was used in World War II and is remarkably well-preserved with
many of the original barracks still intact. Learn all about the war
history of the area on a guided tour of this historic site, before
rejoining the ship in the evening.
Optional excursions:
1.Highlights of the South Coast & South Cape.
Join our guide on an overland exploration of southern Norway. Admire
varied Nordic scenery, taste exquisite wine, and have lunch at
Norway’s southernmost point.
2.Farsund Town Walk.
Join the Port Guard or a local guide to learn about the history of
Farsund, and enjoy great views of the town from Varbak Hill.
3.Kristiansand WWII History Tour.
Step into the past as you learn about southern Norway’s WWII
history on a tour of Kristiansand’s historical sites.
DAY 4 : Haugesund and Hardangerfjord
Viking history
As we sail past the southern tip of Norway, we’ll begin
heading north along the west coast. Just past Stavanger,
we’ll reach Haugesund, the ‘Home of the Viking
Kings’. The nickname is inspired by sites such as
St. Olav’s Church, built in 1250 by King Håkon
Hå. There’s also Haraldshaugen, a national monument
reputed to be the first king’s burial site. Why not step back
in time to the Viking Age at Nordvegen Visiting Centre which features
exhibitions presented by a fictional Harald Fairhair himself.
After a short stay in Haugesund, you’ll rejoin the ship for
some scenic cruising in Hardangerfjord. At 179 kilometres in length, it
is the second longest fjord in the country, and fifth longest in the
world. The stunning waterway is one of Norway’s finest. See
mountain scenery everywhere you look, with the white peaks that tower
over the fjord being reflected in the shimmering water below.
The region is famous for its apple products, from jams and juice to its
award-winning cider, which one food writer described as
‘Nordic Champagne’.
Optional excursions:
1.Haugesund Viking Tour by Bus.
Immerse yourself in the rich Viking heritage and coastal culture of
Avaldsnes, Norway’s oldest royal seat.
2.E-Bike the Coast of Haugesund.
Let the e-bike take the strain as you roll through the beautiful nature
and rich history of the homeland of the Viking kings.
3.Haugesund Art Walk with a Local Artist.
Glassblowing, architecture and Marilyn Monroe –
there’s more to this art walk through picturesque Haugesund
than you might expect!
3.Viking Experience by RIB.
Get a unique perspective on Norway’s Viking history as you
whoosh along the beautiful, narrow strait that gave Norway its name.
DAY 5 : Ålesund
A picturesque town
After a hearty breakfast on the ship, we’ll dock mid-morning
at a town that spreads out across a string of islands. With almost an
entire day to explore, you’ll have plenty of time to see all
that Ålesund has to offer. As we approach the shore, you
might first notice the distinctive style of architecture. Every detail
of the buildings, from the bright colours to the rounded spires, were
all inspired by the Art Nouveau style, which was popular in the early
1900s. Almost the entire town received a makeover in the style when it
was rebuilt after a major fire in 1904. As you leave the
waterfront, you’ll find yourself in a fairy-tale town,
wandering narrow streets lined with unique houses. If your
camera’s memory card isn’t already full after this,
you can get impressive photos of the archipelago from the nearby Mount
Aksla viewpoint. The 418 steps leading there might look intimidating,
but the views are well worth the effort. You can also visit the
Atlantic Sea Park, Norway’s first marine science centre. This
is one of Northern Europe’s largest saltwater aquariums,
providing a home to seals, otters, and crabs, as well as many other
kinds of marine life. You can even see Humboldt Penguins here, a
species otherwise absent north of the equator. Optional activities may
include a fjord tour of either Geirangerfjord or
Hjørundfjord. If weather allows, kayaking may even be an
option. Imagine gliding across the surface of the fjord, skimming your
hand over the pristine water as marine life swims in the depths below
you.
Optional excursions
1.Architecture & Breweries - Ålesund on Foot.
Explore Ålesund’s remarkable Art Nouveau
architecture then taste some of the best small-brewery beer from the
local area.
2.Saga Islands Bus Tour to Alnes - Winter.
Join this bus tour to experience two islands, one lighthouse and
countless tales of the Vikings. The scenery is impressive too!
DAY 6 : Brønnøysund
Distinctive Nordic nature
Surrounded by islands and water, Brønnøysund sits
on a narrow peninsula that juts out of the mainland. Around 5,000
people live in this small town, many in colourful houses against a
backdrop of gentle slopes and dramatic mountain peaks. Enjoy the
bustling atmosphere of the harbour and take a walk along Havnegata.
Drop into one of the pubs for a snack, or treat yourself to a meal in a
local restaurant. Wander the visitors’ marina, or visit an
1870 Neo-Gothic stone church. As we sail, look out for the Vega
archipelago, a cluster of some 6,500 islands, skerries, and islets.
There’s a UNESCO World Heritage Centre on the island of
Gardsøy which showcases how highly prized eider down is
harvested from the local eider ducks by providing little huts for them
to build their nests in. On an island south of
Brønnøysund, you’ll find Torghatten
mountain, recognisable by a natural tunnel that runs through the
centre. According to local lore, the hole is the result of a troll who
fired an arrow at a young woman who had rejected his advances. As the
Troll King threw his hat to protect her, the sun began to rise, turning
the hat to stone with a hole in the middle from the arrow. On an
optional excursion, you can take an hour’s walk up to the
hole in the mountain. Peer through the tunnel and enjoy the view of the
islands around. We’ll continue sailing north in the
afternoon, leaving the Helgeland coast behind us as we cross the Arctic
Circle around midnight.
Optional excursions:
1.Legends of Torghatten and Brønnøysund by Bus -
Winter
See Brønnøysund’s sights by bus then
follow in the footsteps of trolls to a mythologised mountain with a
hole right through it.??
2.Winter’s Walk and Mini-Concert in
Brønnøysund
Discover Brønnøysund’s fascinating
history, geology and musical talent on this guided winter walk through
the town’s highlights.
DAY 7 : Svolvær and Stokmarknes
Lofoten islands and our historic birthplace
Today, we explore Lofoten, a striking group of islands that rise out of
the Norwegian Sea. As soon as you see the towering peaks around you
with fishing villages clinging to their sides, you’ll
understand why this island chain is so often praised as one of
Norway’s most stunning locations. We’ll
dock in the town of Svolvær mid-morning. Located on the
island of Austvågøya in the heart of Lofoten,
Svolvær is the biggest town of the archipelago, humming with
shops, restaurants, galleries, and cafés to enjoy. You can
also admire views of the Svolvær Goat, a nearby mountain
named for resembling a goat and its horns. A variety of
optional excursions are available from Svolvær, including
winter fishing, paddling along the coastline in a kayak, or embarking
on a bus tour to learn more about Lofoten’s history. We
can’t visit the area without spending some time in
Stokmarknes. This historic town is part of Vesterålen, an
archipelago just northeast of Lofoten. Of all the places we visit, this
one is particularly special to us. It was here that the Original
Coastal Express was founded in 1893 by shipping pioneer Richard
With. The Coastal Express soon became a lifeline for
Norway’s remote coastal communities, and fittingly, our
legacy has been immortalised in the place where it all began. Standing
on the waterfront, you’ll find our 1956 ship MS Finnmarken,
encased in a glass building like a ship in a bottle. This is
Hurtigrutemuseet, the museum that chronicles our history as
Norway’s leading expedition cruise line from start to now. On
a guided tour, you can explore the retired vessel and experience the
atmosphere of a past era.
Optional excursions:
1.Winter Fishing in Lofoten.
Try your hand at sea fishing aboard a traditional Norwegian fishing
boat from 1917 and bring your catch back for dinner on the ship.
2.Kayaking in Lofoten - Winter.
Take to the water and see Svolvær’s coastline from
a different perspective as you follow a local guide and paddle aboard
your own two-person kayak.
3.Best of Vesterålen Winter - History, Arts & Culture
Tour.
Experience breathtaking views, rich culture and coastal heritage on a
bus tour of the stunning Vesterålen archipelago.
4.The Coastal Express Heritage Tour.
Take an exclusive tour of the Hurtigruten Museum, home to our
full-sized retired ship, in our birthplace of Stokmarknes.
5.Lofoten Winter - Art, History, and Henningsvær.
Get to know Lofoten’s history, admire timeless art in SKREI,
and soak up the fishing village atmosphere of Henningsvær.
Tromsø's Arctic Cathedral
DAY 8 : Tromsø
The gateway to the Arctic
Today you’ll get the chance to see the Arctic Capital itself.
Often called the “gateway to the Arctic”,
Tromsø is Norway's northernmost university city, and the
ideal place to enjoy some proper winter activities, like dog sledding
and snowshoeing. Sitting around 217 miles north of the Arctic
Circle, Tromsø experiences Polar Night for just over a month
in the winter, and will give you a great chance of seeing the Northern
Lights. This urban city is buzzing with life, with everything
from trendy restaurants and cafés to boutique shops selling
local crafts and produce, and even high fashion. MS Trollfjord will be
in port here for 10 hours, giving you plenty of time to both join
optional excursions and explore the city yourself. Among the activities
on offer is a guided tour of the Polar Museum which chronicles the
city’s legacy of Arctic hunting and trade. For live animals,
head to the Polaria centre, an aquarium home to a variety of Arctic
marine species, including seals. Across the water from Polaria,
you’ll find the Arctic Cathedral, standing out in the
cityscape due to its striking design and impressive stained-glass
window. There may also be opportunity to visit some of
Tromsø’s surrounding fjords and possibly the
rugged island of Senja.
Optional excursions:
1.Dog Sledding in Winter Wonderland.
Join us on a mini polar expedition across the snowy Arctic landscape in
the valley of Breivikeidet near Tromsø.
2.The Bucket List - Dogsledding, Ice Domes & Reindeer.
Enjoy dog sledding, magical ice domes and real-life reindeer on this
all-in-one, ultimate bucket list tour of Tromsø.
3.Whale Watching in Arctic Silence.
Be immersed in Arctic serenity as you get an unforgettable view of orca
and humpback whales playing in their natural habitat.
4.Tromsø, The Arctic Capital – Winter.
Explore the remarkable polar heritage, modern culture and extraordinary
panoramic views of Tromsø, ‘Paris of the
North’, in winter.
5.The Northernmost Brewery.
Let actors entertain you on this tour through Tromsø to
Mack, long known as the northernmost brewery in the world.
6.Meet The Locals of Sommarøy.
Satisfy your curiosity about daily life north of the Arctic Circle as
you learn to knit with the locals on Sommarøy.
DAY 9 : Honningsvåg
The northernmost point
Arriving early in the morning, you’ll have a full day in
Honningsvåg. The northernmost city on the mainland,
Honningsvåg’s landscape is quite distinctive, with
barely any trees or bushes. This far north, winters are long and
snowfall is high, so get ready for some fantastic winter scenery and
activities. Feel the snow crunching under your snowshoes as you hike
across the plains. You might even be able to try your hand at ice
fishing, a beloved winter tradition in the far north. Get a taste of
the local delicacy, king crab, which is caught in the waters around
Honningsvåg and served year-round. Admire local art in the
Once Upon a Dream art gallery, and don’t miss the
Honningsvåg Church. This is the oldest building in the area,
dating back to 1885. The highlight of any trip to Honningsvåg
is a visit to the North Cape. This is one of the northernmost points of
mainland Europe, and as we’re visiting in winter, we can get
there by snowmobile. Standing near the northern edge of Norway and
looking out over the Barents Sea under the polar night sky is a truly
special experience. Add the ethereal Northern Lights dancing in the sky
above, and you’ve got a sight you’ll never forget.
The cape is marked with a famous globe monument, which demands a selfie
or two… or five. When you’re ready, head inside
North Cape Hall to warm up, and learn about life in the High Arctic
through a short film and a variety of exhibits. Having reached the
northernmost point of our voyage, we’ll turn around and begin
going south as we sail away in the evening.
Optional excursions:
1.North Cape and King Crab Experience - Winter.
From iconic views at North Cape to delicious king crab in Sarnes, join
us as we experience the highlights of Honningsvåg in winter.
2.Quad Biking to North Cape.
Drive your own quad bike on a thrilling adventure to continental
Europe’s northernmost point.
3.Culture Walk, Beer Tasting, and Local Show at 71°N.
Enjoy a tour of the town, handcrafted beers, and an exclusive play
performed by young local actors about life in the Arctic.
4.Snowmobiling to North Cape.
Experience raw Arctic nature as your drive yourself on a thrilling
snowmobile ride to the European mainland’s northernmost point.
5.Arctic Ice Fishing.
Take a short snowshoe walk to a nearby lake to try your hand at some
ice-fishing before enjoying the taste of your freshly hooked and cooked
catch of the day.
DAY 10 : Alta
The city of Northern Lights
Alta is one of the bigger coastal towns we visit, with a population of
over 10,000 people. A particularly famous part of the town is Alta
River, one of Norway’s best salmon rivers. Here, large salmon
are regularly caught, with some even weighing up to 24 kg. You
won’t regret trying some fresh grilled salmon in one of the
local restaurants. At 70 degrees north, this town is still far above
the Arctic Circle. The area is known for particularly good Northern
Lights visibility, so keep your camera ready. If the skies are clear
and the conditions are right, you should be able to get some amazing
shots of the lights dancing above you. You can learn more about this
incredible natural light show on a guided tour of the town. The
Northern Lights Cathedral even has an exhibition showing how Alta
became the epicentre for ground-breaking research of the Aurora
Borealis between the 19th and 20th centuries. Increased snowfall in the
winter allows for some truly authentic Arctic excursions, like
dogsledding. The snow and climate of Alta also creates the perfect
conditions to build and maintain the Igloo Hotel, located on the banks
of river Alta. You’ll have the chance to visit and tour the
world’s northernmost ice hotel, built out of snow and ice
every winter and carved with different artistic themes by local
sculptors. Head to the hotel’s ice bar, decorated with
handcrafted ice sculptures and order a drink in an ice glass
– no ice cubes needed.
Optional excursions:
1.UNESCO Rock Art & Northern Lights Cathedral.
Peruse prehistoric rock art at Alta Museum and admire the stunning
architecture of the city’s iconic cathedral.
2.Dog Sledding in Alta.
Go dog sledding through snowy scenery near The Northern Lights City and
meet the enthusiastic dogs that pull you.
3.Dog Sledding on Wheels in Alta.
Try dog sledding on wheels through beautiful countryside near The
Northern Lights City and meet the friendly dogs that pull you.
4.Visit The Magical Igloo Hotel in Alta.
Explore the beautiful Igloo Hotel, made entirely from snow and ice.
Even your free drink comes in a glass carved from ice!
DAY 11 : Lødingen
Village life and fjord nature
The administrative centre of a municipality with the same name,
Lødingen is a village on the southwestern shore of
Hinnøya, with a population of under 2,000. This is a port
that our ships used to visit on one of our earlier coastal routes and
returning here is a kind of homecoming for us. We’ll dock at
around midday, using Lødingen as a base for a few hours to
explore more of Hinnøya island, Norway’s largest
island south of Svalbard. Wander the streets near the port and admire
the traditional red fishing huts, or rorbuer, that line the shore. As
you walk, you’ll likely notice the calming atmosphere that
village life brings. The highlight of this visit has to be the
breathtaking fjords and mountains that the Norwegian coast is so famous
for. Branching off of Andfjord, Gullesfjord cuts into the north side of
Hinnøya, bordered by pristine mountain ranges. The area is
popular among campers, who stay on the campsite or in cabins and fish
for cod in the fjord during winter. From Lødingen, you can
join a handful of optional excursions, including a fishing trip with a
local, an immersive Sámi experience to learn more about
their culture and history, or a visit to Dampskipsbrygga,
Lødingen’s former wharf.
Optional excursions:
1.Fishing with a Local.
Join the local fisherman for a fishing trip in the waters around
Lødingen, perhaps with sea eagles flying overhead.
2.Steamship Wharf and the History of The Coastal Express.
Take a journey through time at Dampskipsbrygga,
Lødingen’s former wharf which has been lovingly
restored as an exhibition venue.
3.Sámi Handicrafts, Food, and Culture.
Spend some time with a local Sámi family and learn about
their unique customs that have been passed down through the ages.
DAY 12 : Rørvik
An ancient fishing town
Continuing south, we’ll leave the land of the Polar Night as
we cross the Arctic Circle in the early hours of the morning.
The Vikna archipelago is a chain of around 6,000 islands, islets and
skerries. The largest of the chain, Inner-Vikna, is where
we’ll make our next stop. We aim to dock at the port town of
Rørvik around midday, remaining there for about a few
hours. The town and its surrounding areas have a long
history, with burial mounds found there that date back to ancient
times. The area’s maritime legacy is well-documented across
Rørvik’s many museums, particularly The Norwegian
Coastal Museum. Similarly, at SalmoNor visiting centre, you can take a
tour of a modern salmon farm and find out more about the Norwegian
aquaculture industry that supplies the world with tasty Nordic
salmon. Another major export is cod, and the town even has an
annual Cod Festival in March. This species of fish is especially common
in the waters of the archipelago during winter, so why not indulge
yourself in some fresh cod cakes while here. Return to the ship in the
late afternoon for your penultimate evening on board. Enjoy the
ship’s facilities, such as the soothing panoramic sauna or
sample some warming local aquavit in the top-deck bar.
Optional excursions:
1.Time Travel through the Coastal Town of Rørvik
Get to know the history of Rørvik on this guided tour across
three of the town’s key museums.
DAY 13 : Molde
Perfect panoramas
To round off our journey, we’ll visit Molde, the capital and
commercial centre of Romsdalen that sits on the southern coast of the
Romsdal Peninsula. We’ve stopped at this port many times
before on our Coastal Express route, but this time we’ll be
making a much longer stop, so you’ll have all the time you
need to get your fill of the town. There are optional activities
organised by your Coastal Experience Team that add to your experience
of Molde. Accessible nearby on an optional excursion is the Atlantic
Road, an icon of the Norwegian coast that often features in Hollywood
movies. If the weather is favourable and time permits, join us on an
optional hike up to Varden viewpoint for the best panoramic views of
the area. Gaze at the town from above at a height of 402 metres above
sea level and admire the 222 snowy peaks across Moldefjord.
If you prefer to stay closer to the ground, you can pop into the
Romsdal Museum, one of Norway’s largest folk museums about
ten minutes away from the town centre. Back on the boat,
we’ll end our voyage on a high note with an end-of-trip
farewell dinner. Take this opportunity to trade photo highlights and
experiences with your fellow travellers one last time.
Optional excursions:
1.The Atlantic Road - A Scenic Bus Tour from Molde
Let us drive you along the swooping Atlantic Road, one of the most
beautiful routes in the world.
DAY 14 : Bergen
Norway's second largest city
From the south to the north, and back down to the south, reflect on
your journey as you watch our approach to our last port of the voyage,
Bergen, in the early morning. Say your goodbyes to the crew and
disembark the ship, marking the end of your travels with us.
You’ve sailed on The North Cape Express, exploring
Norway’s coastal cities and villages all the way to the top
of the European continent. During the journey, you’ll have
experienced Norway’s varied climate, seen majestic mountains
and fjords, and maybe gazed up in awe at the Northern Lights once or
several times. We hope you’ll cherish each of the
memories of The North Cape Express that you’ll take home with
you. Come sail with us again soon, on another iconic voyage of our
spectacular home: the Norwegian coast.
The day-by-day programme will give you a few ideas about what you can
see and do on your voyage, but bear in mind that this itinerary is just
an indication of what you can experience. After all, this is a sailing
where the elements rule and weather conditions might vary, which is why
every voyage with Hurtigruten is unique.
MS Trollfjord (Expedition, 576-guests)
This ship is named after spectacular Trollfjord in the Lofoten Islands, and provides exquisite indoor comfort, modern facilities and interior design that makes extensive use of Norwegian wood and stone.
