Hurtigruten unveils two Norwegian coastal itineraries


Harry Kemble


Hurtigruten has unveiled two new Norwegian coastal itineraries on Trollfjord for 2023. The 16-day round-trip Svalbard


Express – Full Voyage will launch on June 3, 2023, a month ahead of the company’s 130th anniversary, while the first 14-day North Cape Express – Full Voyage will depart on September 26, 2023. Prices for the Svalbard Express – Full Voyage start from £3,640, with


departures from Bergen running between June and September next year. Ports of call include Tromso,


Longyearbyen and Ny-Ålesund. The lead-in price for the North


Cape Express – Full Voyage with the operator’s Northern Lights Promise starts at £2,415. Ports of call include Alta, Tromso, Ålesund and Oslo, all Norway. Departures run from September


2023 to March 2024. The line offers to give passengers


Trollfjord


a free six or seven-day Classic Voyage if the northern lights do not appear on their North Cape Express sailing. Hurtigruten said the itineraries


offer a “significantly different experience” to its Coastal Express itinerary. There will be half or full-day


port visits; cooking classes; wine, beer, champagne and whisky tastings; an onboard cocktail bar; and entertainment. Passengers can attend cooking demonstrations and


classes at an onboard food centre. Like the line’s Coastal Express


itinerary, cargo will be transported between ports during sailings. Chief executive Hedda Felin


said: “The Svalbard Express and North Cape Express will offer an experience similar to the likes of the Orient-Express, combining a premium onboard experience with beautiful scenery, exceptional excursions and some of the best food at sea.” hurtigruten.co.uk
