Transfer from Oslo to Flam today by train, with a connection in Myrdal. The Bergen Railway is a unique experience on Northern Europe's highest-altitude railway line. One of the greatest challenges is the harsh and quickly changing weather. The line is exposed to deep low-pressure centers from the west, which can mean strong winds and heavy snow for part of the year. Keeping the railway open demands great effort and technical expertise. Today, skilled workers, effective equipment, tunnels and snow tunnels make the Bergen Railway one of the safest and most comfortable ways of travelling between Oslo and Bergen. The line is consistently ranked among the top rail experiences in the world. Four stops before the end of the line in Bergen, you'll disembark in Myrdal. In Myrdal, board a cogwheel train to Flam on the Flam Railway. The scenic 12-mile route between Myrdal and Flam is one of the steepest non-rack railway tracks in the world and provides some of Norway's wildest and most magnificent scenery. On the ride you can see rivers that cut through deep ravines, waterfalls cascade down the side of steep, snow-capped mountains, and mountain farms cling dizzily to sheer slopes. There are also a few spirals along the route which allow trains to rise on a steady curve until it has completed a loop, passing over itself as it gains height, allowing the railway to gain vertical elevation in a relatively short distance.

Take a short, self-guided walking transfer. Hotels in Flam are all located within just a few minutes of the Train Station.

Meet your private guide and depart on foot for a walking tour of Flam and its scenic surroundings. Set out through Flam’s town center on an asphalt road, venturing up the valley alongside the Flam river. Along the way, your private guide will offer unique insights into the local culture, history, and life by the fjord. After an easy mile-long walk, continue up the mountain side on your way to the platform for the 330-foot Brekkefossen waterfall. The rocky and steep trail quickly gains elevation and soon the small village of Flam is visible through the trees. After about 30 minutes of uphill hiking, the trail opens up on a grassy ledge, offering beautiful and unimpeded views down over the village below and out into the entrance of the fjord. Take some time to take photos and admire the view before returning back to town.

Your table is reserved at Arven, the main restaurant of the historic Fretheim Hotel in FlÅm. The menu follows the seasons and draws on cheese, meat, fruit, and vegetable producers just outside the hotel’s door, so the flavors stay close to home. Views stretch toward the fjord as you dine, and you settle the bill directly at the restaurant.

Take a short, self-guided walking transfer. Hotels in Flam are all located within just a few minutes of the Port.

With so many options to choose from, deciding on which restaurant to try during your stay in Bergen can prove challenging. To assist, within your final trip documents, you’ll receive a supplemental composition showcasing our top restaurant suggestions for Bergen, as selected by Kensington Tours Destination Experts.

Depart your hotel on foot alongside your private guide, setting out on a highlights walking tour of the colorful city of Bergen.

Discover small wooden houses from the 18th and 19th century, tucked away on charming streets and narrow alleyways, and enjoy a round-trip ride on the Floibanen funicular railway to the top of Mount Floyen, offering magnificent views of the city below.

Meet your private driver and vehicle for a port transfer.

Welcome aboard!

Surrounded by seven mountains and opening onto a network of fjords, Bergen has been a meeting place for seafarers, traders and explorers for centuries. Founded in 1070 CE, Norway's second-largest city combines a rich maritime heritage with a vibrant contemporary culture, making it one of Scandinavia's most fascinating destinations. It’s also the perfect place from which to begin your voyage.

If time allows, you could take the opportunity to explore the historic Bryggen district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Bergen's most recognizable landmarks. Its colorful wooden wharves date back to the Hanseatic era, when merchants from across northern Europe helped shape the city's fortunes. Today, narrow alleyways and crooked passageways packed with old wooden buildings stow away independent galleries, artisan workshops and cozy cafes.

Just a short walk away is Bergen's famous Fish Market, or Fisketorget, where generations of locals have gathered to buy and sell the freshest seafood from Norway's coast. Here you could sample everything from shrimp and salmon to local delicacies while watching daily life unfold along the harbor.

For a different perspective, why not ride the FlØibanen funicular to the summit of Mount Floyen? From the top, panoramic views stretch across the city, surrounding islands and the waterways that have connected coastal communities for generations. On a clear day, you'll gain a sense of the intricate coastline that lies ahead.

Before boarding, you might wish to spend some relaxation time in the comfortable Hurtigruten Guest Lounge at Jektevik Terminal. With complimentary snacks and drinks, you’ll also find free Wi-Fi as well as charger sockets. Luggage lockers are also available here, if you want to do some exploring during the day.

As evening falls, depart Bergen and sail north through the Hjeltefjord, the historic sea route once travelled by Viking longships heading towards the North Atlantic.

Beyond the city, the landscape quickly changes. The coast becomes a maze of islands, skerries and sheltered waterways, and it's well worth spending time out on deck, watching fishing villages, lighthouses and rocky shorelines drift by.

On a Hurtigruten Original voyage, your onboard experience is inclusive of port charges, accommodation, meals in various dining venues, tea and coffee, and complimentary WI-FI internet access.

A range of superb on-board amenities ensure a memorable cruise along the coastline of Norway. Wine and dine-in Nordic-inspired restaurants and lounges, offering locally-sourced fare. Explore seasonal and local flavors with live culinary demos and tastings. Relax on the sun deck and watch as majestic scenes unfold before your eyes. Treat yourself to some revitalization in the on-board sauna. Stay active in the fitness room, or opt for a long walk along the open-air promenade. Enjoy onboard activities, musical entertainment and in-depth lectures from your Expedition team. Share your photos with fellow passengers onboard as part of the Hurtigruten Photo Program and photo sharing app. In the evenings, escape to the Observation Bar to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights or the midnight sun, during the winter or summer months respectively.

During the night, your ship calls briefly at Floro and Maloy before a short stop at Torvik in the early morning. As the day unfolds, you'll find yourself gazing at some of the most picturesque coastal scenery in Norway. Leaving Nordfjord behind, you sail past the rugged headland of West Cape for your approach to Alesund.

Alesund

By mid-morning, you arrive in Alesund, one of Norway's most distinctive towns. Rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style after a devastating fire in 1904, the town is renowned for its elegant architecture, colorful facades and decorative towers. Stretching across a series of islands, Alesund has long been an important fishing port and remains deeply connected to the sea.

Please note that, outside of the winter season, you stop at Alesund twice today: a short visit on arrival, then a return call in the evening. In spring, summer and autumn, in between these stops you sail into the fjords (see below). From October through April, when the fjords are not visited, you will instead have the whole day in Alesund to explore at your own pace.

If you're looking for a panoramic view, consider climbing the steps to Mount Aksla, where you'll be rewarded with sweeping vistas across the town, surrounding islands and distant mountains. Nature enthusiasts may also enjoy a visit to Atlanterhavsparken, one of Northern Europe's largest saltwater aquariums, showcasing marine life from the Norwegian coast.

Into the fjords

In May and September, your ship ventures into the magnificent Hjorundfjord, a secluded fjord in the dramatic Sunnmore Alps. Free from the crowds found elsewhere, this peaceful waterway is lined with towering mountains, cascading waterfalls and tiny farms clinging to the hillsides. Your ship will also pay a visit to the picturesque village of Urke, where a handful of historic houses and spectacular scenery combine to create one of the most atmospheric stops on the voyage.

In summer, you continue into the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord*, often considered one of the most beautiful fjords in the world. As you navigate deep into this narrow waterway, sheer cliffs rise dramatically from the water while waterfalls tumble from great heights. Keep watch for the famous Seven Sisters waterfall, whose seven streams cascade gracefully down the mountainside.

Old, heritage farms cling improbably to steep slopes, reminders of the generations who once thrived in these remote areas. Viewed from the water, the fjord reveals its full scale and grandeur.

For those wishing to explore further, the optional shared excursion to the Trollstigen mountain road combines spectacular viewpoints, dramatic engineering and some of the most celebrated scenery in the Norwegian fjords.

*Please note that your ship does not dock at the cruise terminal pier in Geiranger. Instead, guests who are either disembarking or joining a shared excursion will be transported with tender boats by Geiranger Fjord service from the ship to shore, or vice versa.

Alesund and Molde

You then continue north towards Molde. Known as the City of Roses, Molde occupies a beautiful setting overlooking the Romsdalsfjord, with the famous Molde Panorama visible across the water. On a clear evening, you may glimpse the outline of more than 200 mountain peaks, creating one of Norway's most celebrated views.

During the night, your ship calls briefly at Kristiansund before continuing north into Trondelag, a region often described as the historic heart of Norway. Here, the coastline softens into rolling farmland, wooded hills and sheltered fjords. For centuries, this fertile landscape has supported farming communities and trading centers, and is a place rich in history.

Trondheim

Founded in 997 by Viking king Olav Tryggvason, Trondheim was Norway's first capital and remains one of the country's most significant historic cities. Today, medieval heritage sits comfortably alongside a vibrant student population, creating a city that feels somehow both ancient and youthful.

With three hours ashore, there are plenty of opportunities to explore at your own pace. Dominating the city skyline is the magnificent Nidaros Cathedral, traditionally the coronation church of Norwegian monarchs, and sometimes called “Norway’s Notre-Dame”. Built over the burial site of St Olav, the country's patron saint, it has drawn pilgrims from across northern Europe for centuries. Its richly decorated Gothic facade and remarkable interior make it one of Scandinavia's most impressive religious buildings.

Beside the cathedral stands the historic Archbishop's Palace, where you can learn more about Norway's medieval past and view the country's crown regalia.

A short walk away, the elegant Gamle Bybro spans the Nid River and leads into Bakklandet, one of Trondheim's most charming neighborhoods. Colorful wooden warehouses line the riverbanks, while cobbled streets are home to independent cafÉs, shops and galleries. For panoramic views of the city and fjord, the climb to Kristiansten Fort is well worth the effort.

Along the Trondelag coast

Back on board, you continue northwest through the broad Trondheimsfjord before returning to the open coast. Later, your ship passes the distinctive ochre-red Kjeungskaer Lighthouse, standing alone among reefs and skerries. Built in 1880, it remains one of Norway's most photographed lighthouses.

It's around here that you begin to see a dramatic change in the way the coast looks. The gentle landscapes of the south now start to be replaced by rockier, wilder scenery. For many, this feels like an inflection point in the voyage, as if you are transitioning from one Norway to another.

As evening approaches, your ship arrives at Rorvik, a lively coastal town at the center of the Vikna archipelago. Surrounded by thousands of islands and skerries, this region has long been closely connected to the sea. The brief call offers a glimpse of everyday coastal life before we continue on our journey north, with plenty of time to enjoy the passing scenery from the deck.

In the small hours of the night, your ship will call briefly at Bronnoysund, Sandnessjoen and Nesna as you continue north through Helgeland, a region known for its islands, rugged peaks and coastal legends. Keep an eye on the horizon during the early morning hours and you may spot the distinctive outline of the Seven Sisters mountain range, one of the most recognizable landmarks on the Norwegian coast.

Crossing the Arctic Circle

Early today, you cross the Arctic Circle. This milestone has long captured the imagination of travelers, explorers and seafarers. You can celebrate the occasion out on deck with a traditional, and slightly silly, Arctic Circle ceremony.

Beyond this point, the character of the landscape begins to change as you head further into the Arctic.

Ornes and Svartisen

By mid-morning, you'll arrive in Ornes, a small coastal community closely connected to the sea and nearby Svartisen, Norway's second-largest glacier. The approach to Ornes is one of the most picturesque sailings along the coast and it’s well worth heading out on deck to view the scenery.

Bodo

In the early afternoon you'll reach Bodo, northern Norway's second-largest city. Sitting beneath the Borvasstindan mountain range, Bodo has long served as an important gateway to the north.

Nature lovers may wish to join a shared excursion to Saltstraumen, the world's most powerful tidal current, where enormous volumes of water surge through a narrow strait to create powerful whirlpools and currents.

Another shared excursion on offer (from November to May) is a visit to a Sami family at their camp in Saltfjellet. Here, you’ll be treated to their hospitality in a lavvu tent and will hear traditional joik songs and can meet their resident reindeer.

Alternatively, stay in town and explore this very walkable city independently. Bodo was in 2024 named a European Capital of Culture, and it’s well worth wandering around at leisure to discover why.

The Lofoten Islands

Later in the afternoon, one of Norway's most celebrated landscapes comes into view. Rising dramatically from the sea, the mountains of the Lofoten archipelago form the famous Lofoten Wall, a seemingly unbroken chain of peaks stretching along the horizon. For many travellers, this first sight of Lofoten is among the most memorable moments of the voyage.

Your first call is Stamsund, a traditional fishing community whose fortunes have long been tied to the annual arrival of Arctic cod, known locally as skrei. During the fishing season, the harbor becomes one of the busiest in the islands. Optional shared overland excursions here offer opportunities to delve deeper into local culture, whether through Viking history, traditional farming, or simply seeing the landscapes that continue to inspire artists and photographers.

Svolvaer

In the evening, you arrive in Svolvaer, the vibrant heart of the Lofoten Islands. Surrounded by steep mountains and sheltered waters, the town blends modern life with centuries of fishing heritage. Traditional red and ochre-colored rorbuer line the waterfront, while fishing boats come and go in the harbor.

As you depart the Lofoten Islands, the peaks remain silhouetted against the sky as we continue north overnight. If conditions allow, the Captain may choose to sail into the Trollfjord during the seasons where it is light in the evening.

Night owls will witness the short stops at Stokmarknes, Sortland and Risoyhamn as we continue into the Vesteralen archipelago. As the morning light grows stronger, it reveals a panorama of islands, sounds and mountain peaks.

Harstad and Finnsnes

Your ship arrives in Harstad at around breakfast time. Situated on Norway's largest island, Hinnoya, Harstad occupies a strategic position between the islands of Vesteralen and the fjords of Troms. If you're up early, you can enjoy a quick stroll along the waterfront and watch local life unfold as fishing vessels and ferries move through the harbor.

After this short stop, you'll call at Finnsnes, a lively coastal town connected to the island of Senja by the impressive Gisund Bridge. Senja is often described as "Norway in miniature" thanks to its variety of landscapes, from jagged peaks and white-sand beaches to forests and sheltered fishing villages. Keep watch for seabirds as you sail through these waters, including gulls, cormorants and, at certain times of year, puffins.

Tromso

By afternoon, you arrive in Tromso. For centuries, this vibrant small city served as the starting point for polar expeditions, and many of the world's most famous Arctic explorers passed through here before heading north into the unknown.

Today, Tromso combines this rich polar heritage with a lively cultural scene, a thriving university and a distinctly cosmopolitan atmosphere. With four hours ashore, there's plenty of time to explore independently or join one of our optional excursions.

Along the waterfront, you'll find Polaria, where interactive exhibits and aquariums reveal life in the Arctic. History enthusiasts may enjoy learning more about the city's pioneering explorers, while those interested in the local culture can browse independent shops, galleries and cafes in the compact city center.

Across the water stands the striking Arctic Cathedral, one of northern Norway's most recognizable landmarks. Its dramatic triangular design and beautiful stained-glass window have made it a symbol of the city. Meanwhile, the historic Mack Brewery and the famous Olhallen pub offer a taste of Tromso's social history, while local cafes serve everything from fresh pastries to expertly crafted coffee.

The Lyngen Alps

As your ship departs Tromso in the early evening, the city gradually fades behind you. Ahead lie the magnificent Lyngen Alps, one of Norway's most dramatic mountain ranges. Their jagged peaks seem to rise directly from the sea, creating a spectacular backdrop as we continue north.

Later in the evening, you arrive at the historic trading settlement of Skjervoy, founded in 1622. Surrounded by islands and sheltered waters, this small community has long depended on fishing and maritime trade.

Moving ever further north during the night, your ship calls briefly at Oksfjord before arriving in Hammerfest in the early morning. Often described as one of the world's northernmost towns, Hammerfest has been shaped by life at the edge of the Barents Sea. The town sits on Kvaloya, an island where herds of reindeer roam, moving across landscapes that have supported Sami communities for generations.

Along the Arctic coast

As you continue eastwards, the coastline becomes increasingly open and dramatic. Islands appear scattered across the sea, while exposed headlands face the Arctic Ocean. Sailing towards Havoysund, the coastline feels increasingly wild and remote. Low islands, rocky outcrops and wide skies reveal a landscape that is little changed since the last Ice Age.

Honningsvag and the North Cape

By late morning, we arrive in Honningsvag, gateway to one of Norway's most iconic landmarks. With almost four hours ashore, this is your opportunity to experience the northernmost reaches of mainland Europe.

Here, you can choose to join a shared optional excursion to the North Cape, where a globe monument stands high above the Arctic Ocean. The journey across Mageroya offers a chance to appreciate the vast, treeless landscapes of Finnmark. Standing atop the cliffs, with nothing but the Arctic Ocean stretching northwards, it's easy to understand why this place captures the imagination of travelers.

For nature enthusiasts, shared optional excursions also explore nearby fishing communities and reveal the rich birdlife of the region, including colonies of seabirds that thrive along these remote northern shores.

Sami heartlands

During the afternoon, you call at Kjollefjord, a small fishing community set amid rugged coastal scenery. As you approach, keep watch for Finnkirka, an unusual rock formation that resembles a man-made structure rising from the landscape. This distinctive landmark was once an important site of spiritual significance for the indigenous Sami people.

If you'd like to gain deeper insight into northern Norway's cultural heritage, during the summer and autumn you can join a shared optional excursion focused on Sami traditions, where stories of reindeer herding, traditional livelihoods and the hauntingly beautiful sounds of joik offer a window into one of Europe's oldest living cultures.

When there's enough snow on the ground, an alternative shared optional excursion is a snowmobile tour across the Nordkyn peninsula, driving through snowy valleys and below icy mountains while your guides tell you about the local people and their traditions.

Towards the Barents Sea

Further east lies Mehamn, your northernmost port of call. This resilient fishing community has long depended on the rich waters of the Barents Sea, and the fishing industry remains central to life here.

In the evening, you'll reach Berlevag, a remote settlement perched on the edge of the sea. En route, you pass Slettnes Lighthouse, which at a latitude of 70° 45' is the northernmost mainland lighthouse in the world.

During the night, your ship calls at Batsfjord and Vardo, two communities whose fortunes have long been tied to the natural wealth of the Barents Sea. As morning approaches, you continue along the Varanger Peninsula, one of the most distinctive stretches of coastline in Norway.

Vadso and the Varanger Coast

You'll arrive in Vadso early in the morning. This region is renowned among birdwatchers, lying directly beneath one of the Arctic's most important migration routes. Throughout the year, a remarkable variety of species pass through these waters and coastal wetlands.

The landscape here feels noticeably different from the fjords and mountains further south. Wide horizons, open tundra and sweeping coastal views create the sense of space that is characteristic of Finnmark.

Kirkenes

By mid-morning, you'll arrive in Kirkenes, a frontier town located close to the border. Positioned at the crossroads of Norwegian, Sami, Finnish and Russian influences, Kirkenes has a fascinating history shaped by trade, diplomacy and life in the far north.

Today, disembark your ship in Kirkenes.

Meet your taxi driver for a private port transfer.
