Land Segment of Itinerary

Monday - Apr 14, 2025

Day
1

Tromso, Norway

Your Nordic adventure begins in Tromso, the Arctic Capital. Often called the 'gateway to the Arctic', Tromso is Norway's northernmost city. It buzzes with everything from trendy restaurants and cafes to boutique shops selling local crafts and produce. Sitting around 217 miles north of the Arctic Circle, the city usually has a blanket of snow in the spring and winter, giving it the look and feel of a winter wonderland - one that reflects the northern lights when they appear. Once you've settled into your cabin or suite aboard MS Trollfjord, you'll meet your Coastal Experience Team. Meet each member of the team as they give lectures and organize onboard activities throughout your cruise. ...

Cruise Begins

Tromso, Norway

Today, you'll get the chance to see more of the Arctic Capital before joining MS Trollfjord in the afternoon. As part of an inclusive sightseeing tour, you'll visit three of Tromso's most famous attractions: the Arctic Cathedral, Polaria center, and Mount Storsteinen. We start by enjoying a bird's-eye view of the city with a cable-car ride up to the mountain ledge at Storsteinen, some 420 meters above sea level. From the viewing platform at the upper station, you can get spectacular panoramic views of Tromso and the surrounding islands, mountains, and fjords. The tour continues to the famous Arctic Cathedral, an architectural masterpiece and town landmark. The modern building stands out in the cityscape due to its striking design and impressive stained-glass window. We will also visit the Polaria center, where you'll find an Arctic aquarium, educational displays, and a panoramic cinema. The cinema screens a movie focused on polar wildlife and habitats, while at the pool, you can watch seals play and feed. ...

Honningsvag, Norway

Arriving early in the morning, you'll have a full day in Honningsvag. Honningsvag is the northernmost city on the mainland, and its landscape is distinctive, with barely any trees or bushes. This far north, winters are long and the snowfall is high, so prepare for fantastic winter scenery and activities. Feel the snow crunching under your snowshoes as you hike across the plains. You could even try your hand at ice fishing, a beloved winter tradition in the far north. Taste the local delicacy, king crab, which is caught in the waters around Honningsvag and served year-round. Admire local art in the local art gallery, and don't miss the Honningsvag Church. This is the oldest building in the area, dating back to 1885. The highlight of any trip to Honningsvag is a visit to the North Cape. This is one of the northernmost points of mainland Europe. Since we're visiting in winter, we can go there by snowmobile. It's an unmatched experience to standing near the northern edge of Norway and look out over the Barents Sea under the polar night sky. Add the northern lights to the sky above and the moment will be unforgettable. The cape is marked with a famous globe monument, which demands a selfie or two... or five. When you're ready, head inside North Cape Hall to warm up and learn about life in the High Arctic through a short film and a variety of exhibits. Having reached the northernmost point of our voyage, we'll turn around and begin going south as we sail away in the evening. ...

Alta, Norway

Alta is one of the bigger coastal towns we visit, with a population of over 10,000 people. A particularly famous part of the town is Alta River, one of Norway's best salmon rivers. Large salmon are regularly caught here, with some even weighing up to 53 pounds. You won't regret trying fresh grilled salmon in one of the local restaurants. At 70 degrees north, this town is still far above the Arctic Circle. The area is known for particularly good northern lights visibility, so keep your camera ready. If the skies are clear and the conditions are right, you should be able to snap some amazing shots of the lights dancing above. You can learn more about this incredible natural light show on a guided tour of the town. The Northern Lights Cathedral even has an exhibition showing how Alta became the epicenter of ground-breaking research of the aurora borealis between the 19th and 20th centuries. Increased snowfall in the winter allows for some truly authentic Arctic excursions, like dog-sledding. The snow and climate of Alta also creates the perfect conditions to build and maintain the Igloo Hotel, located on the banks of river Alta. You can tour the world's northernmost ice hotel, built out of snow and ice every winter and carved with different artistic themes by local sculptors. Head to the hotel's ice bar, decorated with handcrafted ice sculptures. Order a drink in an ice glass-no ice cubes needed. ...

Lodingen, Norway, Norway

Lodingen is a village and administrative center on the southwestern shore of Hinnoya, with a population of under 2,000. Hurtigruten's ships used to visit this port on one of the earlier coastal routes. We'll dock at around midday, using Lodingen as a base for a few hours to explore more of Hinnoya island, Norway's largest island south of Svalbard. Wander the streets near the port and admire the traditional red fishing huts, or rorbuer, that line the shore. As you walk, you'll likely notice the calm atmosphere of village life. The highlight of this visit is definitely the breathtaking fjords and mountains that have made the Norwegian coast so famous. Gullesfjord branches off of Andfjord and cuts into the north side of Hinnoya, bordered by pristine mountain ranges. The area is popular among campers, who stay on the campsite or in cabins and fish for cod in the fjord during winter. One optional excursion is a boat safari that brings you closer to the fjord. Challenge yourself to a hike in the mountains for the reward of majestic panoramas of the surrounding land and sea. ...

Rorvik, Norway

Continuing south, we'll leave the land of the polar night as we cross the Arctic Circle in the wee hours of the morning. The Vikna archipelago is a chain of around 6,000 islands, islets, and skerries. The largest of the chain, Inner-Vikna, is our next stop. We aim to dock at the port town of Rorvik around midday and stay there for a few hours. The town and its surrounding areas have a long history, with burial mounds that date back to ancient times. Rorvik's museums document the area's maritime, particularly the Norwegian Coastal Museum. Similarly, at the SalmoNor visitor's center, you can take a tour of a modern salmon farm and find out more about the Norwegian aquaculture industry that supplies the world with tasty Nordic salmon. Another major export is cod, and the town even has an annual Cod Festival in March. Cod is especially common in the waters of the archipelago during winter. Why not indulge in some fresh cod cakes? Return to the ship in the late afternoon for your second-to-last evening onboard. Enjoy the ship's facilities, such as the soothing panoramic sauna, or warm yourself up with some local aquavit in the top-deck bar. ...

Molde, Norway

To round off our journey, we'll visit Molde, the capital and commercial center of Romsdalen, sitting on the southern coast of the Romsdal Peninsula. Hurtigruten ships have stopped at this port many times on the Coastal Express route, but this time we'll be making a much longer stop. You'll have all the time you need to enjoy the town. Your Coastal Experience Team will organize a number of optional activities to enhance your Molde experience. Accessible nearby on an optional excursion is the Atlantic Road, an icon of the Norwegian coast that often features in Hollywood movies. To get the best panoramic views of the area, join a hike up to Varden viewpoint, following the trail from the town center. Once you're there, gaze down at the town from a height of 1,319 feet above sea level and admire the 222 snowy peaks viewable across Moldefjord. If you prefer to stay closer to the ground, pop into the Romsdal Museum, one of Norway's largest folk museums. It's only ten minutes from the town center. Back on the ship, we'll end our cruise on a high note with a farewell dinner. Use this chance to swap stories and show photos to your fellow travelers one last time. ...

Day

Bergen, Norway

This journey has taken you from Tromso to the top of Europe, then all the way down to Bergen in the south. Reflect on your journey as you watch our approach to the last port of the voyage, Bergen, in the early morning. Say your goodbyes to the crew and disembark for a transfer to your hotel in Bergen, including a guided sightseeing tour that charts the city's long history from its ancient founding in the Viking era to its present-day development as Norway's second-largest city. Visit well-known sites such as Nordnes peninsula, medieval Hakons Hall, the Renaissance-era Rosenkrantz Tower, and Mariakirken (St. Mary's Church), dating back to the late 1100s. Your guide also takes you on a short walk through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed buildings in the Bryggen district. Once the haunt of 14th-century Hanseatic League traders, these colorful wooden wharves now house artisanal boutiques and galleries ideal for last-chance souvenir shopping. After the tour, the rest of the day in Bergen is yours to spend as you like. You might want to go to the top of Mount Floyen via the Floibanen funicular for great views over the city and the surrounding mountains. For dinner, enjoy the many stalls at the fish market which serve up fresh, flavorsome seafood, cooked on site, filling the place with sights, sounds, and smells that tantalize your tastebuds. ...

Bergen, Norway

You've sailed on the North Cape Express, exploring Norway's coastal cities and villages all the way to the top of the European continent. During your journey, you'll have experienced Norway's varied climate, seen majestic mountains and fjords, and maybe gazed up in awe at the Northern Lights once or several times. ...
