Cruise

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 Polarlys

The MS Polarlys features a modern, Arctic-inspired interior and offers a variety of amenities for a comfortable and scenic experience. Onboard, you’ll find three different restaurants, a bakery and ice cream bar named Multe, a sauna, and a fitness room. There are also two hot tubs on deck where you can enjoy the view.
The vessel boasts a large compass area that includes the reception, the Coastal Experience Team, a conference room, and a shop. For relaxation and enjoyment, there's a comfortable bar in the panorama lounge where you can savor a traditional drink.
The top deck includes a sun deck, observation saloon, and panorama lounge, all providing splendid views of the spectacular coastal scenery.

Visa Information

It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure you comply with any destination or travel requirements, including obtaining all of the required travel documents.
