DAY 1 NORTHBOUND THE JOURNEY
BEGINS BERGEN
Hurtigruten's Classic Round Voyage lasts 12 days and starts in our southernmost port, Bergen. Before your departure, why not arrange some extra time to explore one of Norway's most beautiful and distinctive cities. There was a time when travelling from here across the sea to the UK or the Netherlands was actually far easier than walking across the mountains to Oslo. This is the start and end point for the traditional shipping lanes across the North Sea, for Hurtigruten and for the ford liners. Even the railway from Europe ends here, in the City of the Seven Mountains.
Bergen
WHAT TO SEE
Bergen was founded in 1070 AD and was for many years Norway’s most important centre of trade with Europe. Numerous traces of this ancient commercial and seafaring culture can still be found throughout the city.
