Hurtigruten’s Norway: Sled Dogs, King Crabs and the Northern Lights

When most people think of a cruise ship vacation, they probably envision white sand beaches, frozen rum drinks and of course, catching a great tan.

For the luxury cruise line Hurtigruten, cruising the world isn’t always about fun in the sunshine. Relaxation is great, but those cruising Norway with Hurtigruten are in for the arctic adventure of a lifetime.

Northern Lights

The trip begins in the Norwegian town of Bergen, a place settled by vikings nearly 1,000 years ago. From there, a 6-day cruise North treats guests to spectacular views of the Northern Lights, a phenomenon so bright, it can be seen from space. There’s nothing like it on Earth.
