Hurtigruten Branches Out with New Remote Coastal Cruises & Copenhagen Option

Hurtigruten is expanding beyond its traditional Norwegian coastal signature voyages, with three brand-new “Limited Collection” itineraries for the 2027/28 season.  The new options take guests to “an even more remote and inaccessible Norway,” reaching areas of the high Arctic and world-famous western fjords that other lines can’t reach.

For the first time ever, the line is also launching new 12- or 11-day itineraries that start or end in Copenhagen, Denmark. Citing the need to make for easier flight options to/from North America, the itinerary will travel between Copenhagen and Tromsø.

(According to Hurtigruten, the Danish capital has up to 16 nonstop routes from Canada and the U.S. available.)

Sailing between April 2027 and May 2028 aboard MS Trollfjord, the new Signature itineraries offer longer stays of typically nine to 15 hours in less-visited ports – including new destinations such as Rosendal, Skjolden and Eidfjord near Bergen, also known as the capital of Fjord Norway – alongside adaptable sailing routes that allow captains to shape each journey around the day’s conditions, delivering the best scenery and wildlife encounters possible.

The three “Limited Collection” itineraries are:

Inner Fjords Explorer: This is Hurtigruten’s first fjord-only itinerary and its most immersive. Sailing in spring and autumn, this eight-day voyage sails from Bergen into four western fjords: Lysefjord, Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord, and Nordfjord. Prices start from $2,254pp.

Arctic Circle Explorer: This is eight-day roundtrip winter voyage from Tromsø, spends the full journey deep in the Arctic Circle. Highlights include Lofoten, Alta, and Honningsvåg, with an optional excursion to visit to the North Cape and overnight in Alta. The flexible scenic sailing plan is perfect for experiencing the Northern Lights. Prices start from $2,829pp.

The Arctic Line: This 12-day Northbound or 11-day Southbound winter voyage sails between Copenhagen and Tromsø. Tracing the length of Norway’s coast, the itinerary includes Lofoten, the North Cape, and overnight stays in Alta and Tromsø, with up to seven days spent beneath the auroral oval to maximize Northern Lights opportunities. Prices start from $3,379pp.

“As we continuously see a tremendous growth to Norway and growing interest in this incredible destination, Hurtigruten is creating more exciting opportunities for North Americans to experience this beautiful country,” said Carly Biggart, Head of Hurtigruten Americas. “With Copenhagen as a new port for the Arctic Line, it will be even easier to combine a cruise with one of Europe’s most appealing cities.”

To celebrate the launch, guests booking by April 30, 2026, will receive up to $500 in onboard credit per cabin.
