Sail along Norway’s spectacular coastline on a journey through true bucket-list destinations, from the colourful wharf of Bergen to the dramatic fjords, Arctic villages, and remote communities north of the Arctic Circle. With Planetdwellers and Hurtigruten, you’ll experience Norway as it’s meant to be seen, gliding past snow-capped peaks, cascading waterfalls, and wildlife-rich waters. Expert local guides bring each stop to life, whether you’re exploring Viking heritage sites, learning about Sami culture, or heading out on a fjord hike, whale-watching excursion, or Northern Lights chase.
And it’s not just about where you go, it’s how you travel. On board, enjoy comfortable, stylish cabins, many with panoramic sea views, alongside full-board dining inspired by Norway’s Coastal Kitchen, featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients from the regions you sail through. Relax in welcoming lounges, soak in outdoor hot tubs as the scenery unfolds, or attend enriching lectures led by the Expedition Team. Throughout your voyage, Hurtigruten’s knowledgeable crew ensures a warm, authentic, and seamlessly memorable experience, blending exploration, comfort, and Norway’s coastal soul.
