Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express

The Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyages around the majestic coastline of Norway have been described as "The World's Most Beautiful Voyage". Hurtigruten (meaning "fast route" in Norwegian) began life in 1893. Until 2007, the line was known as Norwegian Coastal Voyage. Then, as now, the line served the isolated towns and villages sprinkled throughout the shoreline and fjords of Norway's western seacoast between Bergen on the south and Kirkenes, about 240 miles above the Arctic Circle. Known fondly as the coastal steamers or the mail boats, these vessels provided a vital lifeline to areas isolated from other forms of transportation.

MS Richard With

When Captain Richard With established the Norwegian Coastal Express in 1893, he made a lasting impact on life along the Norwegian coastline. The MS Richard With continues this legacy, now upgraded into a greener hybrid vessel that significantly reduces its environmental footprint.
Equipped with large battery packs and new, efficient engines, the ship cuts fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by approximately 25 percent. It also features state-of-the-art navigation and control systems, advanced wastewater treatment equipment, and SRC technology, which reduces NOx emissions by at least 80 percent.
