Experience The Original Norwegian Coastal Voyage – Hurtigruten’s Coastal Express

EWT Exclusive: $740 onboard credit per person + Up to 30% off

The Coastal Express is Hurtigruten’s original route from Bergen to Kirkenes and back. A 12-day journey covering over 2,500 nautical miles of breathtaking fjords, fishing villages, and Arctic landscapes.

You’ll cross the Arctic Circle, glide through UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord, and witness the changing seasons along one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world.

Along the way, your ship stops at 34 ports, both large and small, offering a real glimpse into Norway’s coastal life.

Choose from roundtrip, northbound, or southbound sailings - or even shorter 2–5 day itineraries.

Seasonal Wonders Await

Each season along the Norwegian coast offers something extraordinary:

  • 🌸 Spring: Crisp air, snow-capped peaks, and long daylight hours.
  • ☀️ Summer: Sail under the Midnight Sun, when daylight never fades north of the Arctic Circle.
  • 🍂 Autumn: Forests turn crimson and gold, and ships detour through the stunning Hjørundfjord.
  • ❄️ Winter: Dark skies come alive with the Northern Lights, viewed from your ship’s open decks.

No matter when you travel, the Coastal Express reveals the raw beauty of Norway’s nature — and the heart of its culture.


Why Choose The Coastal Express?

Here are five reasons this legendary voyage remains one of the world’s most meaningful travel experiences:

1. Home Is Where the Heart Is

Born on the Norwegian coast, Hurtigruten has sailed these waters every day for more than 130 years. No one knows Norway better — and no voyage feels more authentic.

2. Caring for the Coast

Hurtigruten was founded to serve and sustain local communities — delivering goods, mail, and passengers between remote towns. That mission continues today, supporting families and protecting Norway’s environment.

3. As Authentic as It Gets

Sail alongside local Norwegians who have relied on Hurtigruten for generations. As you pass farms and villages, you’ll see locals waving to the ship — a true symbol of coastal life.

4. Partnerships That Go the Distance

Enjoy farm-to-fjord cuisine and regional delicacies from long-standing local suppliers. Choose from seasonal excursions that connect you with Norway’s traditions, nature, and flavours.

5. Talent and Expertise

In 1976 - my passion for travel began during a three-month family journey through the UK and Europe. I was quite young to remember all the details, but the stories shared have kept the memories vivid. Revisiting these places over the years has only fuelled my desire to explore even more of the world.
