Discover the variety of routes and destinations with Hurtigruten
The classic postal ship route Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen is undoubtedly the most famous and popular route of a Hurtigruten voyage. On this 12-day journey, you will experience the full diversity of the Norwegian coast. You will visit 34 ports, including such renowned cities as Bergen, Ålesund, Trondheim, and Tromsø. You will cross the Arctic Circle, see the impressive Lofoten, and have the opportunity to visit the North Cape. The journey takes you through narrow fjords, past snow-covered mountains, and picturesque fishing villages. Each day offers new impressions and unforgettable experiences.
In addition to the classic postal ship route, we also offer special themed voyages and unique itineraries. Particularly popular are our Northern Lights cruises, which give you the chance to witness the fascinating natural spectacle of the Aurora Borealis. Experienced experts accompany the voyages and provide you with valuable information and tips for observing the Northern Lights. For the adventurous, we offer the Spitsbergen Line, a historic route to Spitsbergen with extended stays in the ports. Here, you can discover the unique Arctic landscape and wildlife. Note that Hurtigruten cruises are attractive all year round, offering different experiences depending on the season.
The season plays an important role in choosing your Hurtigruten group tour. In the summer, you can experience the Midnight Sun, while in the winter, the chances of Northern Lights are particularly high. Each season has its own charm and offers unique experiences. We are happy to advise you on choosing the right time and route for your journey. Discover the diversity of Norway with a Hurtigruten group tour from GoTuro!

Choose the right ship and the ideal cabin for your journey
The Hurtigruten fleet consists of modern ships that offer comfortable cabins and numerous amenities. Some vessels have been refurbished and feature arctic-inspired interiors (e.g., MS Midnatsol). Other ships are equipped with hybrid engines, contributing to more environmentally friendly travel (e.g., MS Richard With). All ships have restaurants, bars, lounges, and fitness rooms. Lectures and events are regularly held on board that bring Norwegian culture and nature closer to you. The MS Richard With is a hybrid ship that enables more eco-friendly travel.
When choosing your cabin, you're spoilt for choice. The inside cabins are the most economical option and do not have a window. The outside cabins offer a view of the sea through a window or porthole. The minisuites and suites are more spacious and offer additional amenities, such as a separate living area, a balcony, or a terrace. Some ships also offer accessible cabins for travellers with reduced mobility. The MS Trollfjord was renovated in spring 2023 and offers a panorama lounge.
Choosing the right cabin depends on your individual needs and budget. If you value a sea view, you should choose an outside cabin or a suite. If you prefer space and comfort, a minisuite or suite is the right choice. For travellers with reduced mobility, we recommend booking an accessible cabin. We are happy to advise you on choosing the right cabin for your Hurtigruten group trip.
