Hurtigruten Classic 6 Day Voyage - South

Kirkeness to Bergen 6 Day Voyage

What makes the Classic Voyage South a favourite among seasoned Hurtigruten travellers are the daytime sailings through magical Lofoten and along Helgeland´s magnificent coastline, as well as breakfasting atop North Cape. Highlights include:

• Exploring the staggering beauty of Lofoten. These rare natural landforms offer an untamed wilderness of majestic mountains, deep fjords, long beaches and tiny fishing villages
• Daytime visits to such highlights as the Lofoten Islands, Vardø, Hammerfest, Trondheim and Brønnøysund
• Daytime sailings along many beautiful stretches: the Vesterålen region, the Risøyrenna and Raftsundet straits, and Helgeland
• Detour into Lyngenfjorden in April and May, and into Trollfjord from May to October

From the Arctic to the fjords

The Norwegian coast is one of the most exciting and diverse adventure destinations in the world. The scenery is spectacular! Norway´s northern shores leave visitors speechless. Experience Finnmark’s wide plains, North Cape and the amazing Vesterålen and Lofote,n Islands one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.

Sailing from Kirkenes to Bergen, you see this jaw-dropping scenery in daytime, a one of a kind experience. Crossing the polar circle southbound, the climate become milder and the landscapes gentler. You’ll see small towns with fewer than 200 inhabitants, and big cities buzzing with life. As we reach the last port of call, Bergen, you will have completed an iconic journey along Norway´s coast that has been running for the past 125 years. How’s that for authentic?
