Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Tuesday - Jul 22, 2025

Longyearbyen, Norway

Welcome to Svalbard! Here, magnificent brown and green mountains rise and ripple up from the High Arctic tundra while rivers of snow-melt trickle through the valley plains, glistening under the summer sun. Your voyage begins in the Svalbard archipelago's largest settlement. Nestled on the banks of Isfjord, Longyearbyen is a former coal mining colony. Today, it's better known as a hub for adventure travelers, as well as scientists and engineers attached to internationally vital research projects, like the famous Global Seed Vault. Arrange to arrive a day or two before your voyage to spend some time strolling around the town and going on excursions into the surrounding landscape. Whatever you do, take a moment to just be here, now, in Svalbard. You're at a latitude more than 78N and under 1,500 kilometers from the North Pole itself. The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer average between zero and eight degrees Celsius thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream. Get settled into your cabin and as afternoon turns to evening - with the sun still high in the sky - watch Longyearbyen fall into the horizon as you sail away into Isfjorden and head even farther north.

Day 2 - Wednesday - Jul 23, 2025

Ny Alesund, Norway

At the tip of Brogger Peninsula, on one of Kongsfjord's shores, is Ny-Alesund. Like Longyearbyen, it began as a coal mine but became host to scientific stations from the mid 20th century. During the summer, there are over a hundred researchers based in the town, representing 20 glaciology and climate institutes from more than 10 countries. Wander around what is one of the northernmost settlements in the world, drop in at the local museum and souvenir shop, or send a far-flung postcard back to friends and family from the small post office. If you weren't up in time to enjoy the impressive views of Kongsfjord on the way to Ny-Alesund, make sure you're on deck as we leave. It's one of the largest fjords in the area, with an entrance guarded by two colossal creaking glaciers that regularly deposit ice into the fjord. This stretch is also a good place to look out for walrus basking on the shores and for many different species of migrating birds, including puffins, king eiders, pink-footed geese, and guillemots. Arctic fox and Svalbard reindeer can sometimes be spotted on land while the white beluga whale has been known to surface in the waters here too. If we're very lucky, we might even see a polar bear prowling the coast for bearded and ringed seals.

Day 3 - Thursday - Jul 24, 2025

At Sea

It's time for us to say farewell to Svalbard and to Spitsbergen and sail south to mainland Norway. Onboard the ship, use the day to relax. If skies are clear, enjoy some summer sun out on deck and keep on the lookout for whales, dolphins, and porpoises. For some fascinating insights into local history and wildlife, catch a lecture delivered by the Expedition Team. Enjoy the sumptuous food and drinks onboard, courtesy of Hurtigruten's Norway's Coastal Kitchen concept that features the finest, most flavorsome, local Norwegian produce. You can also curl up with a good book in the lounge or chat about your hopes for the voyage ahead with new-found friends in the bar.

Day 4 - Friday - Jul 25, 2025

Tromso, Norway

Torsken, Norway

After a day at sea, we arrive in mainland Norway. Our first stop of the day is Tromso, to drop off any cargo from Svalbard and pick up cargo bound for ports to the south, before we continue south to Senja. The island is one of the country's largest, and northern Norway's fast-rising star destination, as you'd expect for a place ranked among CNN's top ten most beautiful islands in the world. Often proudly described by locals as a 'mini Norway', Senja has a concentration of diverse landscapes that mirror different parts of the Norwegian coast, from the sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and lofty mountains of its northern coast to the rocky coastline and pine forests of southern Senja and Anderdalen National Park. You'll find rolling hills and birch forests to the east. Disembark in the charming fishing village of Torsken and explore by bus, e-bike, on foot, or take to the fjords on a wildlife safari on one of the optional excursions.

Day 5 - Saturday - Jul 26, 2025

Stokmarknes, Norway

Svolvaer, Norway

Start the day with a few hours in Stokmarknes, a historic town and the birthplace of Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express. It's a fitting place for the Hurtigruten Museum, where you are immersed in the atmosphere of a different era on a retired 1956 ship, MS Finnmarken, proudly encased in glass on the waterfront. After Stokmarknes, we'll sail via Raftsundet and Trollfjord to Lofoten. The rest of the day is all about exploring this breathtaking archipelago. Hailed as one of the most spectacular areas in all of Norway, you'll understand why as you see its jagged green cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean, climbing high into the sky like giant teeth. The beating heart of the archipelago is the town of Svolvaer where your ship will be based. There are shops and restaurants to enjoy, and the hours can be spent exploring and getting to know the town yourself. To experience the mountains, islands, and villages around Svolvaer, choose from a variety of handpicked top Lofoten excursions. You can go fishing, kayaking, or sit back and enjoy the incredible scenery on foot or on a bus tour.

Day 6 - Sunday - Jul 27, 2025

Bronnoysund, Norway

The ship continues south and reaches the midpoint of the Norwegian coast. This is the Helgeland Coast, a well-known stretch full of distinctive mountains that have inspired many a charming myth and local folklore. We will base the ship in the town of Bronnoysund, which features a lovely marina and a Neo-Gothic stone church from 1870. Spend your time exploring the town or join optional excursions such as a RIB cruise. Further along from Bronnoysund is the unique Torghatten Mountain. The first thing you'll notice about Torghatten is the hole that pierces right through its center. At an easy pace, it takes about an hour to reach the hole in Torghatten on an optional excursion. The panoramic view of the islands stretching out before you is well worth it. Please note: For sailings from 2026 onwards, we will be calling at Bessaker rather than Bronnoysund.

Day 7 - Monday - Jul 28, 2025

Alesund, Norway

Saebo, Norway

The ship will make a brief stop in the town of Alesund, known for its Art Nouveau architecture and picturesque position on a peninsula below Mount Aksla. If you're joining the overland excursion to Hjorundfjord and Saebo, this is where you disembark, or you can explore the town on foot. Near to Alesund, cutting through the peaks of the Sunnmore Alps, some 1,700 meters high, is magnificent Hjorundfjord. Its picture-perfect position embedded in the Sunnmore Alps means it is the area's hidden gem and a secret from most other ships. On the banks of one of Hjorundfjord's branches is the idyllic village of Saebo. It's a beautiful spot to enjoy at your own pace - but don't miss the free concert in the church. You can see more of the area on an optional guided walk through the beautiful scenery of the Urke Valley. We are fast approaching the last day of our voyage. What better way to celebrate our Svalbard Line experience than a farewell dinner on our last night.

Day 8 - Tuesday - Jul 29, 2025

Bergen, Norway

We arrive back in Bergen in the morning. It's time to disembark the ship, but not before saying fond farewells to your fellow passengers and to the crew who made your Svalbard Line journey such a comfortable one. You've traveled as part of this historic, iconic voyage to pieces of paradise along the Norwegian coast you won't soon forget.
