Hurtigruten MS NORDNORGE

ABOVE: MS Nordnorge is one of the cruise ferries on Hurtigruten's year-round North Cape route.

Hurtigruten is a fleet of cruise ferries that operate year-round from Bergen to the North Cape of Norway.

During a 12-day round trip, the vessels stop at 34 ports. Passengers who don't have time for the full itinerary can book one-way voyages of 7 days (northbound) or 6 days (southbound). It's also possible to buy short-haul ferry tickets between individual ports. Optional shore excursions range from city sightseeing tours to Zodiac, dogsled, and birdwatching trips.

In most years, voyages to Iceland, Alaska, Antarctica, the Caribbean and Central America, and other destinations are also on Hurtigruten's cruise calendar.
