Norway’s Cities and Fjords

CORONAVIRUS STATUS UPDATE:  Hurtigruten re-started operations on the scheduled Bergen - Kirkenes – Bergen voyages along the Norwegian coast on a phased basis in June. There are now 5 ships are sailing the route from Bergen: MS Finnmarken, MS Richard With, MS Trollfjord, MS Polarlys and MS Midnatsol, with a further 2 ships being added in early August, MS Nordlys and MS Kong Harald. This means you will need flexibility in your travel dates and may need to add extra nights to your package before/after the voyage to fit in with flight schedules, ship departures and availability. Further sailings for other ships are being considered. The size and scale of the restart is dependent on national and international travel restrictions, government support and other external factors outside of Hurtigruten's control. As of 03/08/2020 Hurtigruten hastemporarily suspendeds all expedition sailings only on MS Roald Amundsen, MS Fridtjof Nansen and MS Spitsbergen until further notice. The decision has no impact on Hurtigruten's coastal Norway operations.

This 7 night Norway Cities and Fjords Summer holiday includes stays in Oslo and Bergen as well as a short Hurtigruten fjord cruise. It incorporates the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Bryggen and Geirangerfjord.
