WELCOME TO HURTIGRUTEN
WINTER
Join us on a voyage through the calm, sheltered waters of Norway’s shores, closer to the landscape, wildlife and inhabitants. Since 1893,
our ships have been a vital link between the cities, towns and hamlets, carrying local passengers, freight and guests. For more than 120 years
we have sailed along the coastline, deeper into the heart of this spectacular landscape than anyone else. We take you to fjords, waterways
and ports that larger ships cannot reach. There is no better way to enjoy the truly Norwegian way of life than on the original coastal voyage.
Experience the changing seasons that set the rhythm of life for local people. Whenever you sail with us as a group, you will be provided with
an ever-changing backdrop to a journey of matchless wonder.

OUR FLEET
Our fleet of 11 smaller ships create a
convivial atmosphere for like-minded
travellers and the ample lounge,
viewing and deck-space impress on
guests the fact that the emphasis
of these voyages is more focussed
on what isn’t on board the ships
i.e. the scenery, wildlife and charming
ports that you encounter en route.
