NORWEGIAN COASTAL VOYAGE
Bergen - Kirkenes - Bergen See Route map
Every day, all year round, the 11 Norwegian Coastal Voyage ships call at 35 ports along the coast. (66 port of calls 'there & back')
This represents continuity and predictability for the coastal population. For tourists from all over the world, each port of call is a unique encounter with Norwegian coastal culture and landscape.
The Norwegian Coastal Voyage has sailed between Bergen and Kirkenes for more than 100 years.
"Make haste slowly", as the ancient Romans said and those who have travelled on board the Norwegian Coastal Voyage understand the true value of those words.

Note. On the daily routes below, places in brackets are visited at night!

"The world's most beautiful voyage - Hot and cold. Light and dark. Old and new. The Norwegian Coastal Voyage is a journey of contrasts. In life, we often choose the easy, middle way. We take the straight-forward, neutral, run-of-the-mill option. A journey on board the Norwegian Coastal Voyage could not be further from run-of-the-mill. Sailing along the Norwegian coast is an unspoiled, powerful experience. It will take you from one extreme to another and remind you of days gone by while at the same time being a totally new experience. A journey of contrasts."
