Not only is the Hurtigruten Coastal Voyage a wonderful way to slowly enjoy Norwegian scenery and local produce, it is also a terrific way to learn more about Norway's fascinating history.

Ivy Thompson explains the wonderful food options on Hurtigruten's Norwegian Coastal Voyage, enjoyed on our small group tour this winter, 'Arctic Light, Auroras and Hurtigruten'. The stunning Norwegian coastal scenery is hardly interrupted during onboard meal times: breakfast, lunch and dinner is served in dining-areas with panorama views thanks to large window-panes on either side of the restaurants.

Earlier this year, I set out on a work-related adventure: I escorted our wildly popular ‘Arctic Light, Auroras & Hurtigruten’-tour for 14 days in January. Most of the exciting winter-itinerary offered brand new experiences even for a Norwegian like myself: A delightful first-hand insight into a range of our most popular products and destinations; all rolled into a winter wonderland small-group adventure.

We have launched a new self-guided tour for 2019 which takes travellers to an exceptionally beautiful and usually hard to reach area of Norway - in the comfort of a private 50 Degrees North minivan! Escape the summer crowds and explore the secret gems of this stunning region.
