Hurtigruten Winter

A winter expedition along the coast of Norway, when the landscape is covered in pure white snow, is a beautiful and refreshing experience.

Hunting the arctic lights (15.11. - 31.03.)

The sun is low on the horizon, and north of the Arctic Circle even below the horizon for some weeks. This natural phenomenon creates fascinating lights, with the Northern Lights as pure magic.

December
We celebrate a traditional Norwegian Christmas on board. We also celebrate New Years Eve on board.

January to March
The sun returns in the north and the famous winter fishing in Lofoten goes on in this cold, fresh months.

Why the worlds most beautiful voyage during winter

The Arctic lights
Arctic blue, Icy white, Flaming yellow, Mother of pearl, and the fascinating Aurora Borealis (Northern lights). In the north the sun is leaving and returning.

The winter ladscape
It is beautiful, pure and with a lot of variations.

The air
The air is fresh, clean, pure and crisp.

Sailing far, far north
We are sailing far above of the Arctic Circle, and the coast of Norway is one of few places in the world where this is possible at wintertime, due to ice free ports as a result of the Gulf Stream.
