Meet in Bergen to join Vesterheim friends for a special trip along the entire coast of Norway! Hurtigruten is offering a brand-new coastal voyage. The cruise sails from Bergen to the North Cape and then back down all the way around the southern tip of Norway to Oslo. This express voyage will have fewer stops and offer different excursion opportunities than previous summer tours.

There will be unique winter excursion opportunities along the way including fishing, dog sledding, snowmobiling, and a visit to the Northern Lights Cathedral or Igloo Hotel in Alta, among many others. Because of the 12 hours of night this time of the year, Hurtigruten is offering expanded on-board programming with presentations and demonstrations each evening. Included in the price is their all-inclusive dining and unlimited drinks.

Many people would love to see the Northern Lights in person, and there is no better place to experience them than in northern Norway. Scientists predict increased solar activity this coming year, making your chances of seeing the Northern Lights even better. And one of the best places to get away from the city lights is on board the Hurtigruten as it sails along the west coast of Norway. Best of all, Hurtigruten is so confident you will see the Northern Lights on their cruise that they are offering a guarantee – if you don’t see the Northern Lights, you will get a free trip.

We sail on the MS Trollfjord, newly renovated in 2023 with a capacity of 500 passengers. Travelers can choose from a range of cabin options including Polar Inside, Polar Outside, and Arctic Superior.

Once we dock in Oslo, our Vesterheim group will extend our time one day for a special tour of the capitol city and a farewell dinner together. We’ll offer a shuttle to the airport to fly home on your own. We’re thrilled to travel the Norwegian coast with you!
