An Arctic Adventure: Norwegian Fjords, Svalbard, and the Midnight Sun

The Norwegian coast offers a breathtaking journey through history and nature, where the Arctic experience comes to life. With a coastline stretching over 100,000 kilometers, including an array of fjords and islands, it stands as the second longest in the world, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance.

Hurtigruten’s historic coastal ferry route, known for its 'cruise-like' experience, has been a staple since 1893, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in Norway's rich maritime heritage. From the majestic North Cape to the picturesque Lofoten and Vesterålen Islands, and the charming towns like Bergen and Trondheim, each location presents a tapestry of cultural richness and architectural marvels, such as the medieval Trondenes Church or the iconic Kjeungskjær Lighthouse.

The Svalbard archipelago, a majestic cluster of islands situated between Norway and the North Pole, offers a unique travel experience for those seeking adventure in the Arctic wilderness. Visitors can immerse themselves in the stark beauty of the region, exploring glaciers, encountering polar bears, and experiencing the midnight sun.


For the intrepid traveler, Svalbard presents an array of activities, from glacier hiking to dog-sledding, and even kayaking in the frigid Arctic waters.

The history of exploration in Svalbard is rich, with the Norse possibly discovering the islands as early as the 12th century, although Dutch explorers were the first to document their visit in the late 16th century.



Hurtigruten offers a comprehensive Arctic experience with a variety of excursions, accommodations, and dining options tailored to showcase the majestic beauty of the region. At a latitude of more than 78°N and under 1,500 kilometres from the North Pole itself, Svalbard is no average destination.

The air of this Arctic desert is fresh and pure, and temperatures in summer range between zero and eight degrees Celsius thanks to a warm northern branch of the Gulf Stream.




The culinary scene in Longyearbyen is equally impressive, providing a diverse range of dining experiences to complement the adventure. With three unique hotels to choose from, each stay is a different favorite for visitors.

As the local experts operating all year round, Hurtigruten Svalbard ensures unforgettable adventures regardless of the season.
