They've sailed the Norwegian coast since 1893, faithfully serving communities and showing international guests their home for almost 130 years. The signature voyage along the Norwegian coast travels from the southern city of Bergen, across the Arctic Circle, up to Kirkenes, and back. It’s 12 days and 2,500 nautical miles of some of the most stunning scenery you’ve ever seen.

Norway’s world-famous fjords will be on full display, dotted with farms and charming fishing villages. Admire the mountains and myths of the Helgeland Coast and brace yourself for the sheer beauty of the idyllic Lofoten and Vesterålen islands.

Along the way, the ships call in at 34 coastal communities, big and small, day and night. They dock in villages and towns for 10 to 45 minutes, and cities for a few hours. Ports that are visited at night on the northbound section of the voyage can be seen during the day southbound.

Doesn't that sound idyllic? Contact us to find out more!
