From the awe-inspiring grandeur of the Norwegian fjords to the ice-filled bays of Antarctica, we offer an exceptionally wide range of cruises to entice any avid cruise traveller. Destinations in the Northern Hemisphere include spectacular Norway, remote Greenland, and Spitsbergen, high above the Arctic Circle. In the south, our cruises include expeditions to the Antarctic, South Georgia and Falkland Islands. At the heart of these trips is Hurtigruten, renowned for its adventurous voyages to some of the most remote and dramatic coastlines on the planet. 

The Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyage is our signature cruise. Departing daily from Bergen, Hurtigruten’s ships cross the Arctic Circle and sail deep into a pristine wilderness of plunging waterfalls and breathtaking mountains, arriving at Kirkenes on the Barents Sea. Along the way, passengers and freight are delivered to isolated communities too small to accommodate large commercial liners. The 12-day, 4,000-kilometre return sea voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes visits 34 ports each way. This creates an opportunity to share with a people deeply connected to their Viking or Sami heritage. 

Hurtigruten’s vessel, MS Fram, provides a superior level of expedition cruising to the high polar regions of Greenland, Spitsbergen and Antarctica. Each of these spectacular adventures is a voyage of discovery through pristine environments and ever-changing climates that are only accessible by ship. Complemented by informative lectures, exhilarating landings and shore excursions, these unique odysseys will ensure a journey of priceless memories.
