THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SEA VOYAGE WITH HURTIGRUTEN PURSUE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS ALONG THE NORWEGIAN COAST An 8-day journey along the Norwegian coast on board Hurtigruten, with outstanding opportunities to experience the Northern Lights. The journey ends with an overnight stay at a hotel in Kirkenes. Flights from Copenhagen and Billund. Departure 26th November 2018 The world's most beautiful sea voyage along the Norwegian coastline Life aboard the MS Nordnorge MS Nordnorge will be our floating hotel all the way up to Kirkenes. Three ships have previously carried the name Nordnorge in Hurtigruten's fleet. This ship was completed in 1997 and is the fourth in the series. The ship was completely renovated in 2016 and is now featuring a modern Arctic interior, characterised by a Scandinavian design with lots of wood and light furniture. Visit the new Multe bakery, the sauna and the fitness room. On board there is also a jacuzzi with a view of the mountains and a nice panoramic lounge where you can relax. Side 1 af 7
MS Nordnorge is one of the expedition ships sailing along the Norwegian coast. An expedition ship means that there is an on-board Expedition Team, who will conduct lectures and arrange activities along the way, making it a more active journey. The other guests on the cruise come from many different countries, and with the crew and other staff on board being international, the working language on the ship is therefore English. MS Nordnorge also had the starring role in the popular NRK documentary about everyday life aboard one of Hurtigruten's ships. On board, emphasis is placed on relaxation and discovery, and not on commercial entertainment, which is often the case on conventional cruises. It's possible for you to set a "Northern Lights alarm" on your cabin phone. This way you'll be alerted in your cabin when the Northern Lights are spotted in the sky. The Route Itinerary Side 2 af 7
Day 1. The journey starts in Bergen We fly from Denmark to Bergen, which is the gateway to the Norwegian fjords. Bergen is, among other things, known for Bryggen, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The fine wooden houses shine along the seashore as living proof that the history dating back to the 1300s is still alive and well today. Day 2. Visit Ålesund and the fjords The voyage north starts with a stop in Ålesund, the perfect example of an Art Nouveau town. The town of Ålesund burned almost to the ground back in 1904, after which it was rebuilt in Art Nouveau style. In the middle of the town you can see the mountain Aksla, whose 418-step climb from the town centre provides you with a great panoramic view. When we leave Ålesund, we continue our voyage westward into true Viking country. Here the great Viking chiefs ruled. 2C Art Nouveau City Walk in Ålesund 2D Atlanterhavsparken Aquarium and Mount Aksla Day 3. Trondheim, the city of kings Trondheim is the capital of central Norway, and with its rich culture and magnificent Nidaros Cathedral it is still the main destination for many pilgrims. Visit the old quarter of Bakklandet with the well-preserved old colourful wooden houses, before we continue our voyage towards the land of the midnight sun. If you want to go for a walk into town on your own, it will be about a 20-minute walk. 3B Trondheim with Nidaros Cathedral 3D Trondheim City Walk 3G Kayaking on the River Nid Day 4. The Arctic Circle and Lofoten One of today's highlights is crossing the Arctic Circle before Hurtigruten arrives in Ørnes. This is the first day sailing in the Arctic waters during the voyage, and in the evening Hurtigruten arrives in Svolvær also known as Lofoten. Lofoten is also regarded as one of the highlights of the voyage with its majestic mountains hiding small fishing villages and white sandy beaches. Remenber to keep your eyes on the sky as the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are good. 4C Bodø and Saltstraumen 4E Lofoten Viking Museum 4H Lofotpils Brewery Side 3 af 7
Day 5. Tromsø, the gateway to the Arctic Ocean During the night we sail through the narrow Raftsundet strait. Hurtigruten makes a stop in Harstad before continuing via Finnsnes to the Arctic capital of Tromsø. Here the northbound and southbound Hurtigruten ships cross paths. Tromsø is a beautiful city with a vibrant cultural life. The city is surrounded by mountains, fjords and islands, and the city's famous landmark, the Arctic Cathedral, is certainly worth a visit. 5A The Arctic Capital Tromsø 5B Dog sledding in Tromsø 5D Polar History City Walk in Tromsø Day 6. Honningsvåg and the North Cape Today the voyage continues to Honningsvåg, also known as the gateway to the North Cape, which is the northernmost point on mainland Europe. We sail through Lapland, where Hurtigruten passes the Finnkjerka rock formation and the fishing village of Køllefjord, where it is possible to meet the local sámi. Experts say that the best chances of experiencing the Northern Lights are here furthest to the north, so we are hopeful. 6A The North Cape 6H Fishing Village Visit Day 7. Kirkenes 500 km north of the Arctic Circle Both the view and the sea become more dramatic as we sail towards Kirkenes. Kirkenes is located only a few kilometres from the Russian border and the Sami communities in northern Scandinavia. Kirkenes is known as the capital of the Barents region and as the gateway to the east. We'll stay at the Thon Hotel Kirkenes, located right by the beautiful fjord. There is time to explore the town on your own. (There is no dinner included after arrival in Kirkenes). 7A The Russian Border Kirkenes 7F Husky Sledge Adventure in Kirkenes Day 8. Return journey home After a good breakfast at the hotel, we will fly back to Copenhagen/Billund.
