About Hurtigruten
Hurtigruten is one of the world’s great journeys, sailing and caring for the Norwegian coast since 1893. We are proud to be a national icon for generations of Norwegians and to have a special place in the hearts of our guests from around the world.
The history of Hurtigruten
For the generations of local Norwegians who live and work on the Norwegian coast, the words ‘hurtig ruten’ are as common as ‘fjord’, ‘fjell’, and ‘fisk’. Sail with us and become a part of who we are: the spirit of Norway since 1893.
Our cruises along the Norwegian coast
The Norway we bring you to is the Norway we know and love, having sailed its coast for more than 130 years. It is a Norway unfiltered and authentic, by the people who know it best.
Norway’s Coastal Kitchen
There’s a Norwegian expression we like to say after a good meal: ‘takk for maten’. It’s one you’ll want to remember. Our chefs take pride in our fjord-to-fork approach, using only the best ingredients found along the Norwegian coast.
Sustainability is our goal
Hurtigruten commits to eco-upgrades by 2024, with 7 ships leading in CO2 reduction by 25% and NOx by 80%. Additionally, 3 vessels transition to hybrid power, ensuring the conservation of Norway's coastal environment and support for local livelihoods.
Your onboard experience
Sailing the coast for as long as we have, we know it better than anyone. Our Expedition Team will be by your side to share stories and insights passed down through generations.
