An Arctic Expedition Beyond the Ordinary

This is not a coastal cruise — it’s an exciting expedition through Norway’s wild north, led by experts. Travelling aboard a purpose-built HX expedition ship, you’ll explore Northern Norway’s Lyngen Alps, Senja, Lofoten and Vesterålen islands with the flexibility to respond to nature, light and wildlife. Our Expedition Team designs each day in real time, using their deep knowledge of the region to seek out the best landing sites and winter experiences — from kayaking past scenic shores to snowshoeing through the stillness of Arctic forests.

Immersive Experiences You Won’t Find Elsewhere

What sets this journey apart is a series of bespoke and curated HX experiences that offer deeper insight into Norwegian life and landscape. Share a fireside moment on the beach under the stars. Step into a traditional Nordic sauna before a polar plunge. Dine by candlelight in the historic Hurtigruten Museum aboard the retired MS Finnmarken — an exclusive, private event. And with the Arctic’s long polar nights as your backdrop, you’ll have some of the best chances to witness the mesmerising Northern Lights.

INCLUDED IN YOUR PACKAGE

  • 7 night voyage on MS Spitsbergen from Tromso return
  • Daily breakfast, lunch and dinner plus coffee, tea and soft drinks throughout the day
  • Wine, beer and spirits available at meals and throughout the day and evening (excludes premium drinks)
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the ship
  • A polar expedition jacket, a backpack, or another piece of HX kit
  • Daily lectures, briefing with the Expedition Team, photography guidance and activities
  • Pre Paid Onboard Gratuities

YOUR SHIP - The MS Spitsbergen

MS Spitsbergen is named after the crown jewel of Arctic Norway – the Svalbard archipelago and its biggest island, Spitsbergen. Hurtigruten has a long history of travelling to Spitsbergen, beginning in 1896 with the `Sports Route´. MS Spitsbergen is sailing all year round as one of our Expedition ships. After complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen joined the Hurtigruten fleet in 2016. The ship features high technical standards as well as comfortable, modern public areas and cabins. The vessel´s fresh Scandinavian design reflects a colour palette derived from the sea. She is modern and environmentally progressive, and we plan further improvements that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption even more. The new ship’s maneuverability and optimal size make her quite suitable for exploring polar waters.
