A cruise on the Hurtigruten: With the mail ship to the far north. Passing picturesque fjords, imposing cliffs, and snow-covered mountains with stops in small harbors and charming towns: This is the daily route of the Hurtigruten ships, the traditional Norwegian mail ship line between Bergen in the south and Kirkenes in the far north of the country. For over 125 years, Hurtigruten has connected the small and larger towns along the 2,700-kilometer-long coastline - the journey through one of Europe's most impressive landscapes never gets old. Travel between the midnight sun and the northern lights in twelve days from Bergen through Kristiansund and Trondheim, Finnsnes and Hammerfest to Kirkenes. Cross the Arctic Circle between Nesna and Ørnes and visit the North Cape from Honningsvåg. Explore Mehamn, the northernmost port on the route, or the Hurtigruten Museum in Stokmarknes. No matter where you leave your cabin to go ashore, it will always be a special experience.
