Six days, one coastline, countless moments you will never forget. The Norway classic voyage south takes you from the frontier town of Kirkenes — where Norwegian, Sámi, Finnish and Russian blend into one unique culture — all the way down to the iconic harbour of Bergen, calling at more than 20 ports along the way.

This 6-day boat trip is designed for those who want to see Norway's most spectacular scenery in daylight. Sail through the dramatic Lofoten and Vesterålen archipelagos, detour into the narrow cliffs of Trollfjord, watch the Seven Sisters mountain range rise from the sea, and cruise past Torghatten — the legendary mountain with a hole straight through its heart. Add a Midnight Sun RIB safari, an optional sunrise breakfast on the edge of the North Cape cliff, and a midnight concert inside Tromsø's Arctic Cathedral, and you have a journey that packs an entire country into less than a week.

The voyage ends in Bergen, but the memories last far longer. Explore the full day-by-day itinerary and secure your place on board below.

Tour Itinerary

Ports visited today: Kirkenes, Vardø, Båtsfjord, Berlevåg.
Summer in Kirkenes is superb with 86°F degree temperatures at its hottest. The town is known as the capital of the Barents Region and the gateway to the east, with people here speaking Norwegian, Sámi, Finnish and Russian. As we turn south, the northbound ports previously visited by night are now seen by day.

Ports visited today: Mehamn, Kjøllefjord, Honningsvåg, Havøysund, Hammerfest, Øksfjord, Skjervøy, Tromsø.
Start the day with a summer breakfast at the North Cape Hall (optional excursion), which is firmly perched on the massive cliff marking the northernmost tip of mainland Europe. From here we make a stop in Hammerfest before our next major port of call, Tromsø, where you can take part in a very special musical experience, the Arctic Cathedral Midnight Concert.

Ports visited today: Tromsø, Finnsnes, Harstad, Risøyhamn, Sortland, Stokmarknes, Svolvær, Stamsund.
Passing through the Lofoten Islands the ship negotiates a stunning network of inlets and isles, before moving on to what is the highlight of the voyage for many, a possible detour into the spectacular and dramatic Trollfjord. Join us on a fantastic safari by RIB- boat through the Lofoten archipelago under the Midnight Sun!

Ports visited today: Bodø, Ørnes, Nesna, Sandnessjøen, Brønnøysund, Rørvik.
As we sail past the Helgeland coast you can enjoy views of the hundreds of islets, fertile farmland and lush meadows. Today will also be our last one north of the Arctic Circle. The Vega Archipelago, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is close to our call in Sandnessjøen.

Ports visited today: Trondheim, Kristiansund, Molde, Ålesund.
We arrive in Trondheim in the early morning. Nidaros Cathedral, in which three Queens and seven Kings have been crowned, is Scandinavia’s largest medieval building and worth a visit. The town of Kristiansund, located on the scenic Atlantic Road, holds the rather obscure title of Norway’s ‘cured cod capital’ owing to the nature of its main export.

Ports visited today: Ålesund, Torvik, Måløy, Florø, Bergen.
Our arrival in Bergen sees the end of this magnificent summer journey.

Edward Shaw, New Zeland 7 February 2018
After our 6-Day Southbound Norway Coastal Voyage, we are back home and would like to thank Nordic Saga Tours for arranging this fantastic trip for us. We did the trip with on Hurtigruten cruise going from Kerkenes to Bergen. It was a very nice experience. The nature around us was amazingly beautiful. Besides, we went on a few excursions. Some of them were impressive, some not worth going. The excursion to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim was shorter than advertised and not worth the money we paid. On the other hand, the Midnight Concert in the Arctic Cathedral in Tromso and the art-nouveau trip in Alesund were very good and highly recommended. Snowmobile safari was very good as well. The boat staff was very professional. All in all, it was a very good experience and I would do it again some time.

6-Day Southbound Norway Coastal Voyage was a remarkable experience of fantastic natural beauty. We have just finished this cruise. We enjoyed the beautiful views during all the cruise. The food on the boat was excellent, varied and plentiful. The crew was helpful and friendly, and very professional. We went on 2 trips. The trips were expensive, but if this is once a lifetime cruise we enjoyed ourselves as much as we could. The cabin was comfortable. On a downside, there was no entertainment on the boat, just the fantastic scenery. All in all, we loved this cruise and recommend it to everybody.

We made a Southbound Norway Coastal Voyage in 6 days and are very happy we went for it. It was just amazing. I have never seen more beautiful cliffs and coastal landscapes. The boat was nice and cozy. All was perfect. Excursions are a bit expensive, but it is possible to investigate the ports on your own. No complaints. Thank you Nordic Saga Tours for arranging this trip within a short time and in such a professional way.

Dear Susie, Our cruise was wonderful--I could wheel my cousin in the wheelchair all over and down the cargo ramp to shop at all stops of an hour or more--the Norwegian shop owners were so accommodating (one moved sweater shelves so we could enter through the store room--no steps--)--some just came and helped us over the highest thresholds and steps--several times we hired a handicap van and my cousin was wheeled right up into it from the back and the drivers stayed with us for where ever we wanted to go sight see or shop and then delivered us to the ship!! We heard a great concert one night at midnight-- It was this cousins' (EM) first trip out of the country and she thought is was great!! (Heaven, in fact, as she said)--my sister and I have been to Norway many times --my husband and I have been there probably 50 or more times and extensively on 6 continents--I am telling you all this because when you get static from some of your clients, as you know, I am sure, it is probably from the less experienced traveler--there are many things to respect and accept when you travel--I just wanted you to know, it was one of our most fun trips and we always love the food--I would, however, take an extra day or more in Bergen--great there!! thanks for all you did for us but to be on the safe side, it would be good to send packets to each traveler --it did not matter to my sister or me but first timers, it does--thanks again--we ALL four had a fantastic time, much laughing and fun, a GREAT amount of food and last Sunday got together for all our pictures and lefse!!
