Hurtigruten Announces Summer Sale on Norway Coastal Voyages

Hurtigruten has launched its annual Summer Sale, offering discounts on a range of coastal Norway, Arctic and Northern Lights voyages through April 2027.

The promotion runs through July 16 and includes savings of up to 50% on select departures aboard the line’s Coastal Express voyages, along with discounts on sailings aboard the North Cape Line and Svalbard Line. Together, the itineraries span everything from the traditional Bergen-Kirkenes coastal route to all-inclusive Arctic voyages that visit destinations such as the North Cape and Svalbard.

Among the voyages featured in the promotion is Hurtigruten’s Coastal Express service between Bergen and Kirkenes, a route that has operated since 1893. The full roundtrip voyage spans 12 days and calls at 34 ports along Norway’s coastline. In addition to carrying leisure travelers, the ships continue to transport local passengers, freight and cargo between communities along the route.

The promotion also includes departures on Hurtigruten’s Signature Voyages.

One of those itineraries is the North Cape Line, a 15-day voyage that sails between Oslo and Honningsvåg near the North Cape. The itinerary includes 13 ports and features extended stays in destinations such as Alta, Narvik and Stavanger.

Also included is the Svalbard Line, a 15-day sailing between Bergen and Longyearbyen in the Svalbard archipelago. The voyage calls at 14 ports and operates during the summer season, when travelers can experience the Midnight Sun in the High Arctic.

Signature Voyages are sold as all-inclusive sailings that include dining, beverages and onboard programming.

Dining and Drinks Reflect Two Different Voyage Styles

Whether sailing on the Coastal Express or a Signature Voyage, passengers will find a strong focus on Norwegian food and drink. Through its Norway’s Coastal Kitchen initiative, Hurtigruten works with more than 70 suppliers across the country, including fisheries, farms, dairies, bakeries, breweries and distilleries. The company says more than 80% of ingredients used onboard are sourced from Norway during much of the year.

On Coastal Express voyages, dining is centered around venues such as Torget, Kysten and Brygga. Menus showcase ingredients sourced from regions along the route, including king crab from Kirkenes, Arctic char, reindeer, Norwegian cheeses and seafood from Northern Norway. Ships also feature Multe, a café serving pastries, sandwiches and coffee throughout the day.

Signature Voyages take a more destination-focused approach to dining. Flora changes its menus throughout the sailing based on the regions being visited, while Brasserie Árran highlights Norwegian and Sámi culinary traditions. At the fine-dining restaurant Røst, menus feature ingredients such as stockfish, salmon, sea urchins, kelp and reindeer, with optional wine and beverage pairings.

The beverage program also draws heavily from Norwegian producers. Signature Voyage passengers will find regional craft beers, aquavit, Arctic gin distilled in Lyngen and spirits flavored with cloudberries. The ships also exclusively serve Havets Bobler sparkling wine and Hurtigruten Seaweed Arctic Gin.

Two Operators Serve Norway’s Coastal Route

Norway’s coastal route between Bergen and Kirkenes is currently served by Hurtigruten and Havila Voyages.

Both operators combine passenger travel with scheduled service between coastal communities. While the companies offer different ships and onboard experiences, both provide travelers with access to ports and destinations along Norway’s western and northern coastline.

The route continues to function as both a travel experience and a transportation link for communities along the coast.
