Hurtigruten launches its first Limited Collection cruise itineraries, starting with the 2027/2028 cruise period. These voyages will be the first of their kind to include a cruise to the most remote and inaccessible parts of Norway. The Signature Collection promises all-inclusive cruises, providing unlimited demand for all adventure-economic and luxury travel throughout Norway. The Fjords and the Arctic Circle will be true explorations, with stops at all unconquered destinations.
Hurtigruten has seen the most monumental demand for travel to Norway from North America. To continue easing travel to this beautiful country, Hurtigruten is opening a new port in Copenhagen for the Arctic Line. This will grant easy access to the Scandinavian scenery and European metropolitan cities.
Cruise Tourism Growth: New Itineraries Enhance Access to Norwegian Gems and the Arctic Circle
The 2027-28 itineraries are set to enhance cruise tourism growth in Norway and the Arctic by offering voyages that immerse travelers in both iconic and lesser-known destinations. With longer stays in less-visited ports, such as Rosendal, Skjolden, and Eidfjord near Bergen, Hurtigruten is prioritizing exploration over rushed port visits, providing guests with more opportunities to connect with local cultures and nature.
The addition of Copenhagen as a port of departure or arrival for the Arctic Line is expected to be a game-changer for European cruise tourism. With Copenhagen being a well-connected hub for international travelers, it makes it easier for guests to join an Arctic Circle adventure and explore the stunning landscapes of Norway, while also experiencing the beauty and culture of Denmark’s capital.
Inner Fjords Explorer: Hurtigruten’s First Fjord-Only Cruise in Norway
For the first time ever, Hurtigruten will offer a fjord-only itinerary with its Inner Fjords Explorer cruise, a nine-day voyage departing from Bergen. This journey takes guests into four of Norway’s most famous western fjords: Lysefjord, Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord, and Nordfjord. This itinerary caters to travelers who want to explore Norway’s fjord landscapes in depth without venturing into the Arctic Circle. Prices for this trip start from $2,254 per person, offering great value for guests seeking unique and scenic experiences in Norway’s natural wonders.
Arctic Circle Explorer: A Winter Wonderland in the Arctic Circle
The Arctic Circle Explorer is an eight-day, round-trip winter voyage from Tromsø, designed to give guests an exclusive, full Arctic Circle experience. This itinerary features stops at Lofoten, Alta, and Honningsvåg, with an optional excursion to the North Cape, one of Europe’s northernmost points. The Arctic Circle Explorer is designed for those seeking a true Arctic adventure, offering a chance to experience winter in the Arctic, one of the world’s most stunning and untouched environments. Prices for this cruise start from $2,829 per person, making it an accessible and exciting option for travelers wanting to explore Norway’s Arctic beauty.
The Arctic Line: A New 12-Day Voyage Connecting Copenhagen to the Arctic
In another major development, Hurtigruten is introducing the Arctic Line, a 12-day northbound or 11-day southbound winter voyage that sails between Copenhagen and Tromsø. This new offering brings Europe closer to the Arctic with a scenic route allowing for a comprehensive exploration of the Arctic and regions. With prices starting at $3,379 per person, this voyage offers a mix of culture, nature, and winter tourism, providing a unique travel experience for guests seeking a multi-destination adventure in Europe and the Arctic.
All-Inclusive Dining and Expert-Led Experiences on Every Voyage
As part of the Signature concept, all Hurtigruten cruises in the 2027-28 season will include all-inclusive dining and drinks, providing passengers with seamless luxury and comfort throughout their voyages. Guests can also enjoy daily talks from the Expedition Team, offering expert insights into the regions they’re exploring. Additionally, the Norway’s Coastal Kitchen concept will be featured onboard, allowing travelers to enjoy local flavors while exploring Norway’s fjords, coastal cities, and the Arctic Circle.
Cruise Tourism Growth and the Future of Hurtigruten in Europe
Hurtigruten’s new itineraries are a key part of the company’s strategy to support cruise tourism growth in Europe and the Arctic regions. By offering unique travel experiences in some of the most remote and scenic areas of the world, Hurtigruten is tapping into the growing demand for luxury cruises and exploratory tourism. These new voyages will contribute to the long-term sustainability of Norway’s tourism economy, particularly in less-visited areas that stand to benefit from the influx of travelers.
Moreover, Hurtigruten’s efforts to offer eco-conscious cruising and sustainable tourism practices will ensure that these regions continue to thrive as tourism destinations while preserving their natural beauty for future generations. As demand for immersive travel experiences increases, Hurtigruten is positioning itself as a leader in luxury cruise tourism in the Arctic.
Hurtigruten’s Role in Shaping the Future of Cruise Tourism
Hurtigruten is offering ‘first look’ cruises for the 2027-2028 itineraries. They connect customers with the culture and beauty of Norway and the Arctic, which will help Hurtigruten shape the future of expedition cruising. With the introduction of new routes and all-inclusive packages, it will become even easier for travelers to discover the new luxury and sustainable travel options in the Arctic. As Hurtigruten expands its offerings, it will continue to uphold its reputation as a leader in cruise travel.
