Meals included: In-Flight

Day 2 Arrive in Bergen, Norway

Welcome to Bergen! Upon arrival, make your own way to your hotel and enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.

Your trip begins in this beautiful city on the west coast of Norway. What began as a small village was developed by King Olav Kyree in 1070 AD into what is now Norway’s second largest city. The majestic peaks that famously surround the city give Bergen its nickname, “The City of Seven Mountains”.

Optional Activity: Private Transfer From Airport To Hotel
Add a private vehicle transfer from the airport to your hotel (approximately 18 kilometres). After clearing customs and collecting your luggage, meet your driver in the arrivals terminal and transfer to your hotel. See online Important Information for pricing.

Meals included: None

Day 3 Begin 14-night Norway & Svalbard Cruise - Bergen, Norway

Today, you'll begin a 14-night voyage of the Norwegian coast to Svalbard, a frozen land of calving glaciers, iceberg-flecked fjords, and hardy animals, such as walruses, blue whales and polar bears.

At the appropriate time, make your own way to the Bergen Terminal for check in. Before you board MS Trollfjord, visit Hurtigruten's comfortable guest lounge at the Bergen Terminal. Here, you can talk to staff about securing a spot on any optional excursions still available.

Once you've been welcomed aboard, meet the ship’s Expedition Team, who will be your hosts and guides to the Norwegian coastline and Svalbard. Get acquainted with your shipmates and take some time to get comfortable in your new home-away-from-home. Enjoy your first meal aboard the ship, and watch the row of colourful buildings on Bergen's seafront get smaller behind you as you sail out into the Norwegian Sea.

Meals included: Dinner

Day 4 Andalsnes, Norway

Located along the Isfjord, Andalsnes is a picturesque coastal town, home to about 2,000 people. The literal highlights of Andalsnes are the mountains that tower over the town.

Here you could experience the Norwegian concept of friluftsliv – a love of the outdoors – through a variety of optional activities, such as hiking to Rampestreken viewpoint, or discover Trollveggen, the Troll Wall, a prominent cliff with a vertical drop of more than 1,000 metres. For an easier way to take in the sights, sit back for a relaxing ride on the Romsdal Gondola or travel the winding Trollstigen Pass by bus, and there is also the Golden Train experience along the Rauma Railway, one of Europe’s most scenic train journeys (charges may apply). Whichever activities you choose, this day will bring you the best views of the Romsdalsfjord and surrounding peaks.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 5 Traena, Norway

Traena is an archipelago that sits along the Helgeland coast at the edge of the Arctic Circle, 33 nautical miles northwest of the mainland. Made up of around 500 islands, islets, and skerries, only four are inhabited year-round.

Spend the afternoon in one of Norway’s oldest fishing communities. If weather permits, you might be able to enjoy such activities as hiking and biking, or even island hopping, with a large population of sea eagles, birdwatching is another activity you won’t want to miss. For a truly authentic experience, step into the age-old shoes of a Norwegian fisherman, and cast a line under the summer sun.

In the evening, unwind and enjoy a taste of Norway at one of the onboard restaurants.

Cross the Arctic Circle as you continue heading north, commemorating the moment with a little Norwegian ceremony.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 6 Reine (Lofoten Islands), Norway

Today, explore the famed Lofoten Islands. Watch for the steep mountains rising from the sea as you approach from the south in the morning.

Dock in Reine, an important, picture-perfect fishing village since 1743. This is one of the most-photographed landscapes in all of Norway, where red-painted rorbuer cabins cling to a string of islands beneath sharp mountain ranges reflected in the waters below.

Not far to the south of Reine, at the western tip of the Lofoten archipelago, you’ll find A, one of the best-preserved traditional fishing villages in Norway, easily visited on an optional excursion. At the heart of this tiny village is the Norwegian Fishing Village Museum, that covers the importance and development of fishing in Lofoten over the last 250 years.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 7 Tromso, Norway

Tromso is northern Norway’s urban Arctic hotspot, boasting impressive architecture, hip restaurants and the world’s northernmost university. Calling into Tromsø on the way to Svalbard follows in the footsteps of history. Most explorers and sailors on Arctic expeditions would embark from or return to the city.

Your ship will aim to dock here in the morning, giving you a whole day to explore this historic Arctic city and its surroundings. Take your pick from a number of optional excursions. Learn more about the culture and polar history of Tromsø on a city walk, or take a scenic bus tour. You could also visit the striking Arctic Cathedral, which has an impressively large multi-coloured stained-glass window. Or ride the Fjellheisen Cable Car up Storsteinen Mountain for exceptionally beautiful views of the city, mountains and fjords.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 8 Honningsvag, Norway

Around mid-morning, arrive at Honningsvag, the northernmost city in mainland Norway.

Honningsvag is the gateway to North Cape, the northernmost point of Europe. The plateau stands 307 metres above sea level, and is just over 1,600 kilometres south of the geographical North Pole. Take a moment to gaze out across the sea from atop the soaring cliffs, watching the waves crash against the rocks below. You can enhance your Honningsvag experience by choosing from several optional excursions that could include taking a bus, riding a quad bike to the North Cape, or a refreshing hike with your Expedition Team.

Sailing away from Honningsvag, enjoy dramatic views of the plateau from the sea. The ship heads further into the Barents Sea, leaving mainland Norway’s coast far behind.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 9 Cruising towards the Arctic frontier

Today is a day spent far from land as you cross the Barents Sea heading towards the remote wilderness of Svalbard. It really does feel like you're leaving civilisation far behind as you sail towards the top of the world. At some point today you will sail past the lonely and rugged island of Bjornoya 'Bear Island', although no bears live there today.

Relax and enjoy the ship's facilities, and learn about our next destination. Out on deck, the talented chefs will prepare another special tasting for you to enjoy - and listen out for any points of interest from the Expedition Team about Svalbard, where the theme of the day is Arctic desert. There's plenty to do on board, it's the ideal time to take that sauna, work up a sweat in the fitness room, or browse the library. Why not grab a cup of tea or coffee, get yourself comfortable and read up about the nature and history of the Arctic frontier.

In the afternoon there will be a briefing about the special rules that we all must follow to protect the delicate local ecology when we reach Ny-Alesund.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 10 Longyearbyen (Svalbard), Norway

Today, arrive at the Svalbard archipelago and make your way up to Spitsbergen, the largest of the three main islands.

Magnificent brown and green mountains rise and ripple up from the High Arctic tundra while rivers of snow-melt trickle through the valley plains, glistening under the summer sun. Take a moment to just be here, now, in Svalbard. You’re at a latitude more than 78°N and under 1400 kilometres from the North Pole itself. The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer average between 0°C - 8°C, thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream.

In early afternoon, dock in Longyearbyen nestled on the banks of Isfjord. This is the biggest settlement in Svalbard and a hub for adventure travellers, as well as scientists and engineers attached to local research projects, like the famous Global Seed Vault. Spend some time strolling around the town, admiring its collection of galleries, pubs, restaurants, brewery and the notable North Pole Expedition Museum.

There are optional excursions to immerse you into the awe-inspiring landscapes surrounding Longyearbyen, exploring by e-bike, open boat and more. Go on a fossil hike, have a wilderness experience at Camp Barentz, and if you’ve ever wanted to try dog sledding without snow, this is your chance.

Hurtigruten Norway's MS Trollfjord or MS Midnatsol

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 11 Ny-Alesund (Svalbard), Norway

At the tip of Brogger peninsula, on one of Kongsfjord’s shores, is Ny-Alesund. Like Longyearbyen, it began as a coal mine but became host to scientific stations from the mid 20th century. During the summer, there are over a hundred researchers based in the town, representing 20 glaciology and climate institutes from more than 10 countries.

Wander around what is one of the northernmost settlements in the world, drop in at the local museum and souvenir shop, or send a far-flung postcard back to friends and family from the small post office. If it was too early to enjoy the impressive views of Kongsfjord on the way to Ny-Alesund, make sure you’re on deck as the ship leaves. It’s one of the largest fjords in the area, with an entrance guarded by two colossal creaking glaciers that regularly deposit ice into the fjord.

This stretch is also a good place to look out for walrus basking on the shores and for many different species of migrating birds, including puffins, king eiders, pink-footed geese, and guillemots. Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer can sometimes be spotted on land while the white beluga whale has been known to surface in the waters here too. If you’re very lucky, we might even see a polar bear prowling the coast for bearded and ringed seals.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 12 Cruising the Barents Sea

Say farewell to Svalbard and to Spitsbergen as you sail south back to mainland Norway.

On board the ship, use the day to relax. If skies are clear, enjoy some summer sun out on deck and keep on the lookout for whales, dolphins, and porpoises. For some fascinating insights into local history and wildlife, catch a lecture delivered by the Coastal Experience Team. Enjoy the sumptuous food and drinks on board, courtesy of our Norway’s coastal kitchen concept that features the finest, most flavoursome, local Norwegian produce. You can also curl up with a good book in the lounge or chat with new-found friends in the bar while reminiscing together about your favourite experiences of the voyage so far.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 13 Senja, Norway

After a day at sea, arrive back to mainland Norway. Your first stop of the day is Tromso, to drop off any cargo from Svalbard and pick up cargo bound for ports to the south, before continuing south to Senja.

The island is one of the country’s largest, and northern Norway’s fast-rising star destination, as you’d expect for a place ranked among the world's most beautiful islands. Often proudly described by locals as a ‘mini Norway’, Senja has a concentration of diverse landscapes that mirror different parts of the Norwegian coast, from the sandy beaches, turquoise waters and lofty mountains of its northern coast to the rocky coastline and pine forests of southern Senja and Anderdalen National Park. You'll find rolling hills and birch forests to the east.

Disembark in the charming fishing village of Torsken and explore by bus, e-bike, on foot, or take to the fjords on a wildlife safari on one of the optional excursions.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 14 Stokmarknes & Svolvaer (Lofoten Islands), Norway

Start the day with a few hours in Stokmarknes, a historic town with a special significance to Hurtigruten. It’s the birthplace of Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express. It’s a fitting place for the Hurtigruten Museum, where you are immersed in the atmosphere of a different era on the retired 1956 ship, MS Finnmarken, proudly encased in glass on the waterfront (charges apply).

After Stokmarknes, sail via Raftsundet and Trollfjord to Lofoten. The rest of the day is all about exploring this breathtaking archipelago. Hailed as one of the most spectacular areas in all of Norway, you’ll understand why as you see its jagged green cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, climbing high into the sky like giant teeth.

The beating heart of the archipelago is the town of Svolvaer where your ship will be based. There are shops and restaurants to enjoy, and hours can be spent exploring and getting to know the town yourself. To experience the mountains, islands and villages around Svolvaer, choose from a variety of handpicked top Lofoten optional excursions. Try fishing, kayaking, or sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery on foot or on a bus tour.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 15 Bessaker, Norway

From the Lofoten Islands, head south across the open sea and the Arctic Circle. Soak up the ocean views from the deck or simply soak in the hot tub. You’ll catch sight of the beautiful Norwegian coast again about an hour before you arrive in Bessaker, a small village in Trondelag county.

Spend the afternoon at Bessaker, home to just 200 residents, it’s known for its excellent fishing opportunities and the surrounding waters boast plenty of skrei, coalfish and pollock. The annual fishing festival has been held on the third weekend of July since 1979. Explore Bessaker and its impressive natural surroundings at your own pace – you can expect live music, a warm welcome in the museum and tasty coffee and cake in the local pub and cafe to be waiting for you.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 16 Alesund & Hjorundfjord, Norway

The ship will make a brief stop in the town of Alesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and picturesque position on a peninsula below Mount Aksla.

Near to Alesund, cutting through the peaks of the Sunnmore Alps, some 1,700 metres high, is magnificent Hjorundfjord. Its picture-perfect position embedded in the Sunnmore Alps means it is the area’s hidden gem and a secret from most other ships. On the banks of one of Hjorundfjord’s branches is the idyllic village of Saebo. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy at your own pace – but don’t miss the free concert in the church. You can see more of the area on an optional guided walk through the beautiful scenery of the Urke Valley.

This evening, celebrate your Svalbard Line experience with a farewell dinner on your last night.

Meals included: Breakfast; Lunch; Dinner

Day 17 Disembark Cruise - Bergen, Norway

Arrive in Bergen this morning, ready to disembark. Say a fond farewell to your fellow passengers and the ship's crew having travelled as part of this historic, iconic voyage to pieces of paradise along the Norwegian coast you won’t soon forget. Once off the ship, make your own way to your centrally located hotel in Bergen. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure.

Cruise

Hurtigruten's MS Trollfjord
Freshly refurbished in 2023, MS Trollfjord is a homage both to Norwegian nature and Hurtigruten's 130-year heritage sailing the Norwegian coast. Locally sourced natural materials such as wood and stone feature prominently throughout the ship’s furnishings, reflecting the beauty of the fjords you will sail through. The style of décor is classic, timeless, and unique in the fleet. You’ll notice details and flourishes that evoke a sense of nostalgia, harking back to a golden era of exclusive small-ship sailing.

Dining Experience
The produce and culinary heritage of Norway’s coast is at the heart of your experience on board MS Trollfjord. New ports mean new suppliers to work with, new ingredients to play with and new stories to tell. The ship’s peerless menus, cocktails and food courses are inspired by them all, as well as archive menus and age-old Norwegian preservation techniques.

MS Trollfjord’s strikingly reimagined three restaurants and bar offer an exciting flavour of Norway’s past, present and future. Each one embraces traditional preservation methods that have been tried and trusted by Norwegians through 1,000 Arctic winters, such as drying, fermenting and salting. On board, you can eat dry-aged beef served by a chef with a story about the meat’s provenance, drink beer made from water sourced in Trollfjord, and learn all about the distinctly Nordic spirit aquavit.

Hurtigruten's MS Midnatsol
From May 2026, MS Midnatsol will sail as part of Hurtigruten's Signature fleet. Signature voyages are defined by a slower pace, longer stays in port and a strong focus on immersive experiences, combining comfort, culture and discovery.

On board, guests enjoy spacious public areas, welcoming lounges with panoramic views and an atmosphere designed for relaxation and connection with the landscapes outside. Signature journeys are hosted by an expanded Expedition Team, sharing insights through talks, activities and guided experiences that deepen your understanding of the regions you explore.

MS Midnatsol’s beautifully designed restaurants and bars offer a vibrant taste of Norway’s rich heritage and modern culinary innovation. Each venue honours the traditional preservation methods perfected over 1,000 Arctic winters - incorporating drying, fermenting, and salting into contemporary dishes. While sailing through spectacular scenery, you can enjoy dry-aged beef with a deep connection to local provenance, sip craft beer brewed with pure Arctic water, and discover the complex botanical history of the Nordic spirit, aquavit.

Life Onboard with Hurtigruten 
Each day’s entertainment programme is guided by a different theme based on the destination ahead. In between ports, you can be as active as you choose. Expect expert-led food tastings and thought-provoking presentations by your Coastal Experience Team that you can watch in person or livestream from the comfort of your cabin.

Regular photography workshops reveal tips for shooting the perfect image, from capturing the Northern Lights to zooming in on polar wildlife. When you feel confident, you can hire camera equipment on board and practise what you learnt on your next onshore excursion. But if you’d rather simply watch the astounding scenery roll by, that’s fine too. Relax in the panoramic sauna or take a seat with a glass of our exclusive aquavit next to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bar.

Norwegian Kroner (NOK)

Other important information

TOUR GUIDE VS. TOUR LEADER
Tour Guide: 
Often locals with intimate knowledge of an area, its culture, and history. Their role entails providing commentary, routing the tour, and seeing that people have a good time. They are a licensed, qualified expert who supplies specific information on the history, art, architecture and culture of the city/village/attraction where they are guiding the tour. The guide meets the group at the required place and leaves it at the end of the tour; they do not travel with the group. 

Tour Leader: 
An experienced person tasked with ensuring the smooth operation of tours, as well as providing practical support to passengers throughout the whole trip. Their role primarily includes assisting with accommodation, transportation between locations, and communication with tour guides at each stop. A tour leader may provide general guidance around a city or village and offer information on the place visited on the bus. However, they are not required to have specific art, architecture, or historical knowledge. They are not allowed to provide a guided tour or commentary of a city/village/attraction once there and, if caught doing so, can be fined. 

Please note: Tour leaders/guides are not a standard inclusion in all travel offers. Tour leaders/guides will only be made available when required to enhance the experience of the destination featured.

A Moderate level of fitness will be required. 
Expect a moderate pace of touring with a focus on guided tours that may include full days with extended activity, guided city tours or nature walks.

Although some assistance may be available, every traveller should be self-reliant during all aspects of their travel.

Please note: It is expected that every traveller must be self-reliant and able to undertake all aspects of their own travel. Please speak to your booking agent about your personal circumstances and any assistance requirements to ensure this tour is right for you.
Please note: If you have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider prior to purchase/travel.

Yellow Fever:
A valid international certificate of vaccination against Yellow Fever is required in many countries. You may need to present this on arrival at the airport or border crossing. Some countries will refuse entry if you are unable to present your certificate. It's also common for your home country to request a Yellow Fever certificate upon arrival.
You must check with your doctor well before leaving home about the Yellow Fever requirements for the countries you'll be visiting.

Sightseeing:
Please note: If entry to a site is affected by changes in operating hours or public holiday closures, your itinerary, where possible, may be adjusted, or a similar activity will be offered in its place (subject to availability).

Wildlife sighting:
TripADeal cannot guarantee animal sightings on tour. Wildlife are unpredictable and factors such as weather conditions, predatory fear and animal movements can impact sightings. 

Shopping: 
Shopping overseas can be a daunting and confusing experience, especially when there is a language barrier. Please be very cautious when foreign currencies and prices are involved. If paying by credit card, please pay close attention to the amount you are being charged and keep all your receipts. 
Do not make any purchases you are not comfortable with or feel pressured into. If you are uncertain or need assistance with the language barrier, please seek assistance from your Tour Guide/Leader.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions regarding shopping for further information.

Visas

Norway
Australian passport holders do not require a visa to travel to Norway for a stay of up to 90 days within a 180-day period.

European Entry/Exit System (EES)
From October 12, 2025, a new European Entry System (EES) replaces the current manual passport-stamping process for non-EU travelers. Upon arrival in the Schengen area, Australian and New Zealand passport holders will have their fingerprints recorded and a photograph taken. Their entry and exit dates will be electronically registered. No previous action is required, but please be aware of longer wait times at border entry. From 10 April 2026, the EES will be fully operational at all external border crossing points of all the European countries (Schengen area) using the system.

European Travel Information & Authorisation System (ETIAS)
As an extension of the EES implementation introduced from 2025, ETIAS travel authorisation is a mandatory entry requirement for visa-exempt nationals travelling to any of these 30 European countries, including Australian and New Zealand citizens, that will be introduced in 2026. We advise you to monitor smartraveller.com.au closer to your departure to ensure you are up to date on the requirements at the time of entry.

Important: 
• Please start arranging your visa three weeks before departure to account for any delays due to consulate operating hours.
• Visa rules are subject to change. Please check with the nearest embassy, consulate or immigration department of the destination/s you are visiting once you receive your travel documentation to ensure you have the most up to date information.
• It is your responsibility to be travel-ready and ensure that you are aware and comply with any destination or travel requirements, including the validity of all required travel documents.
• Passengers who are not Australian citizens must also check with the respective consulate or visa agency to determine what their visa requirements are and what personal identification is required.
• It is also important to note that some areas of employment, such as journalism, government authorities and charity organisations, may have additional restrictions in applying for visas. This may, in turn, affect the type of application required.

Travel insurance 

Embarking on your next trip is exciting, and while you hope the unexpected does not happen, it is best to be prepared. We strongly recommend you take out travel insurance when making your booking. Whether it’s a potential medical emergency, a flight cancellation, a delayed suitcase, or an unforeseen event, it's important to ensure you're adequately protected.
