Highlights:
This classic northbound cruise departs from the city of Bergen, gateway to the fjords, and sails to the northernmost port of Kirkenes high above the Arctic Circle. You’ll spend 6 nights on board, visiting some of the world’s most beautiful fjords, crossing the Arctic Circle and sailing around the North Cape plateau at the very top of Europe.
From October to March keep an eye on the night skies for the elusive aurora borealis – head out on deck or enjoy the comfort of the observation lounge. During the voyage you’ll also have time to head ashore on one of the many excursions available.
2023 celebrated the 130th anniversary of this famed coastal route, known for transporting goods, mail and passengers the length of the country. Many shipping companies have operated the route over the years; Havila Kystruten began their operation in 2022 with the brand new Havila Capella and Castor, the most environmentally friendly ships sailing the Norwegian coast.
Itinerary
Bergen
Arrive in Bergen and overnight in a hotel in the city.
Day 1 - Bergen
The voyage starts in Bergen, the colorful capital of western Norway, where you can explore the UNESCO-listed Bryggen warehouses, ride the Fløibanen funicular for scenic views, indulge in fresh seafood at the fish market, or wander the lively harbor’s charming streets and quays. Bergen is the gateway to the Norwegian fjords and the start of your coastal adventure.
Day 2 - Florø → Måløy → Torvik → Ålesund → Geiranger 1/ Hjørundfjorden 2 → Ålesund → Molde
On the morning of the second day, you can greet the Havila Voyages headquarters near Torvik before arriving in Ålesund, known for its art nouveau architecture. During the summer months, you have the option to continue on to the stunning Geirangerfjord, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to witness its dramatic waterfalls and steep mountain landscapes. During the autumn months, we visit the untouched and majestic Hjørundfjord.
Day 3 - Kristiansund → Trondheim → Rørvik
It is morning when we dock in the historic city of Trondheim, which was founded over a thousand years ago. The Nidaros Cathedral is the city’s major landmark. Furthermore, it is Norway’s national shrine and one of the largest cathedrals in northern Europe. After our visit here, the voyage continues towards northern Norway.
Day 4 -Brønnøysund → Sandnessjøen → Nesna → Ørnes → Bodø → Stamsund → Svolvær As we journey further north, we’ll celebrate crossing the Arctic Circle with a ceremony before exploring the Arctic regions. Witness the Midnight Sun during the summer months or see the Northern Lights illuminate the winter sky. Encounter the aweinspiring power of the world’s strongest tidal current, and spot the majestic sea eagles. In the evenings , you can explore the Lofoten fishing villages, admire the steep mountains, and learn about Viking history and heritage.
Day 5 - Stokmarknes → Sortland → Risøyhamn → Harstad → Finnsnes → Tromsø → Skjervøy
As we continue through the narrow fjords and wild mountains, we’ll arrive in Tromsø, a city with a rich history associated with hunting, fishing, and polar expeditions. Tromsø is also a gateway to the land of the Sami, Norway’s indigenous people. Meeting the Sami and learning about their culture, including their unique connection with reindeer, is a truly unforgettable experience.
Day 6 - Hammerfest → Havøysund → Honningsvåg → Kjøllefjord → Mehamn → Berlevåg
This is as far north as you can get — by land and sea. For many, the visit to the North Cape is a highlight and a goal for voyages along the Norwegian Coast. Up here, in the polar landscape, nature is at its harshest and most desolate, but between bare plains and rugged cliffs, people cling on and reap nature’s bounty – and you can have a taste of the catch. How about some king crab
Day 7 - Båtsfjord → Vardø → Vadsø → Kirkenes
Congratulations, you have now reached the easternmost point of your voyage! The border with Russia is only a few kilometers away, and you may notice that road signs in Kirkenes are written in both Norwegian and Russian. Consider joining one of our excursions to visit the border, or venture to the Snowhotel, where everything is crafted from ice and snow for a unique and memorable experience.
On arrival in Kirkenes make your way to your hotel for an overnight stay and agent can help book this at additional cost.
