-  Hurtigruten launches its first-ever fjord-fjord only cruise and its first cruise out of Copenhagen to provide even easier access for North Americans -

OSLO, NORWAY (February 12, 2026) – Hurtigruten, the leader in iconic Norwegian coastal voyages, has unveiled three brand-new 'Limited Collection' itineraries launching with the 2027/28 season that are part of its premium, all-inclusive Signature concept launched in 2023. The voyages will take guests to an even more remote and inaccessible Norway than it has since its inception in 1893. Hurtigruten guests will be able to explore fjords and parts of the country other cruise lines can simply not reach. Guided by the unrivalled insight of its captains, guests will explore areas of the high Arctic and world-famous western fjords more in-depth than ever before.

Hurtigruten is also launching new 12- or 11-day itineraries starting or ending in Copenhagen, Denmark, for the very first time. This is to offer easier flight options from/to North America as the Danish capital currently has up to 16 nonstop routes to Canada and the United States. Tromsø, where the itinerary ends, or starts, has seen considerable increase in new flights in recent years, making the two easily accessible start and finish points.  

Sailing between April 2027 and May 2028 aboard MS Trollfjord, the new Signature itineraries offer a deeper, more flexible way to explore Norway's most celebrated coastal regions. Guests enjoy 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 Signature 'Limited Collection' includes:

• *NEW* The Inner Fjords Explorer – This is Hurtigruten's first fjord-only itinerary and its most immersive fjord voyage to date. Sailing in spring and autumn, this eight-day voyage ventures from Bergen further than any other cruise line into four western fjords: Lysefjord, Hardangerfjord, Sognefjord and Nordfjord. This small ship voyage reaches the innermost parts of these fjords, with scenic sailing and captain's discretion shaping the journey. Prices start from $2,254pp.
• *NEW* The Arctic Circle Explorer – This is eight-day roundtrip winter voyage from Tromsø, spends the full journey deep in the Arctic Circle. The itinerary weaves through Lofoten, Alta and Honningsvåg, with an optional excursion to visit to the North Cape, the most northern point of mainland Europe and an overnight stay in Alta. The flexible scenic sailing plan, under the auroral oval, and minimal light pollution create ideal conditions for experiencing the Northern Lights. Prices start from $2,829pp,
• *NEW* The Arctic Line – This 12-day Northbound or 11-day Southbound winter voyage sailing 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 maximise 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. For the first time ever, we will offer both a fjord-only itinerary and one that remains solely above the Arctic Circle, one of the most stunningly beautiful parts of Norway. 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. These in addition to our recently launched tours truly emphasizes Hurtigruten's role as the most authentic and immersive travel leader on Norway,” said Carly Biggart, Head of Hurtigruten Americas.

“No one knows the Norwegian coastline like Hurtigruten. These new voyages are rooted in generations of local knowledge, allowing our captains to adapt each journey to the conditions of the day - revealing Norway at its most spectacular. They are voyages shaped by nature, guided by expertise, and created for travellers who want to truly connect with the places they visit, not just sail past them,” said Hedda Felin, CEO at Hurtigruten.

All voyages include Hurtigruten's Signature onboard premium experience, with all-inclusive dining and drinks, daily talks from the Expedition Team, and the line's award-winning Norway's Coastal Kitchen concept, showcasing regional ingredients sourced along the route.

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