Hurtigruten, which has built its reputation by offering amazing Norwegian coastal voyages, has created three new itineraries for its “Limited Collection” series to debut for the 2027-28 season that are part of its premium, all-inclusive Signature Voyages.
The new trips will take travelers to an even more remote and inaccessible portion of Norway than Hurtigruten has been able to since its inception in 1893.
Hurtigruten cruisers will be able to visit fjords and parts of the country other cruise lines can simply not reach. Guided by the unrivaled expert knowledge and insight of the ship captains, you can enjoy exciting days in areas of the high Arctic and the world-famous western fjords, going more in-depth than ever.
Hurtigruten is also launching new 11- or 12-day itineraries starting or ending in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the very first time.
This allows for easier flight options to and from North America. The Danish capital currently has up to 16 nonstop routes to Canada and the United States. Also, Tromsø, where the itinerary ends, or starts, has seen considerable increase in new flights in recent years, making the two cities easily accessible start and finish points.
Sailing between April 2027 and May 2028 aboard MS Trollfjord (up to 500 cruisers), the new Signature itineraries offer a deeper, more flexible way to have fun vacations in Norway’s iconic and picturesque coastal regions.
On these trips, you can enjoy longer stays of typically nine to 15 hours in lightly visited ports — including new destinations such as Rosendal, Skjolden and Eidfjord near Bergen, also known as the capital of Fjord Norway.
These are adaptable sailing routes that allow captains to shape each journey around the day’s conditions, delivering the best scenery and wildlife encounters possible.
Hurtigruten's Signature “Limited Collection” Voyages
The Inner Fjords Explorer: This is Hurtigruten’s first fjord-only itinerary and its most immersive fjord voyage to date. Sailing in spring and autumn, this eight-day voyage ventures from Bergen further than any other cruise line into four western fjords: Lysefjord, Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord and Nordfjord. This small-ship voyage reaches the innermost parts of these fjords, with plenty of time enjoying scenic sailing.
The Arctic Circle Explorer: This eight-day roundtrip winter voyage from Tromsø, spends the full journey deep within the Arctic Circle. The itinerary weaves through Lofoten, Alta and Honningsvåg, with an optional excursion to visit to the North Cape, the most northern point of mainland Europe and an overnight stay in Alta. The flexible scenic sailing plan, under the auroral oval, and minimal light pollution create ideal conditions for experiencing the Northern Lights.
The Arctic Line: Choose either the 12-day Northbound or a 11-day Southbound winter voyage sailing between Copenhagen and Tromsø. Tracing the length of Norway’s coast, the itinerary includes Lofoten, the North Cape and overnight stays in Alta and Tromsø, with up to seven days spent beneath the auroral oval to maximize Northern Lights opportunities.
