Hurtigruten Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Harbour activities - loading cargo Harbour activities - loading cargo davidx This is the Coastal Voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes via North Cape and back. The full voyage lasts 11 days but you can get half voyages (and take a domestic flight from Bergen or Kirkenes) or port-to-port tickets. This is not an advertisement but a message for information from somebody who has done most of the voyage. Cabins are comfortable and you want one with windows. Even if you are only going one way, the side doesn't matter too much because there are islands outside of the ship for so much of the way. The company website gives most details, but selected Practical Information, impressions of food, trips and scenery will apppear in these pages. Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: http://www.hurtigruten.com/en/default.aspx ________Sights Edit This Lyngen Alps Lyngen Alps David Cross The whole trip passes through splendid scenery, the amount visible depending much on the time of year. Even in good weather it is possible to select some days as having particularly outstanding scenery. These are selected below:- Interested in the whole trip? Details of all days hops can be seen at http://www.hurtigruten.no/dag-for-dag.asp?side_id=217 Contributors November 18, 2004 new by davidx December 19, 2005 change by reen [Add Sight] Day 8 Midnight {Tromso} Edit This Today you have another chance of the Lyngen Alps with the sun setting [see day 4] - and cameras all around you being put into use as the great red ball rests on the water. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Day 9 - Island delight! Edit This Svolvaer, Lofoten Svolvaer, Lofoten photo by: davidx This day starts at Harstad and ends st Stamsund in the Wadden islandsafter passing through major parts of both these islands and [first] the Vesterålen Islands. Everything is a thrill from the bird rocks to the narrow navigation channels to the bridges, to the small towns, to the fabulous though short Trollsfjord to the Lofotens. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Day 5 {Harstad} to Skervjoy via {Tromso} Edit This Lyngen Alps Lyngen Alps photo by: David Cross This is a truly remarkable part of the voyage for mountain scenery, that on each side of Trondheim being outstanding. The sight of the Lyngen Alps with the sun descending and looking like a huge red ball is not something to ever be forgotten. You may think a trip to the funicular on an ordinary bus is better value than the official trip to the Ice Cathedral and elsewhere. [The Ice Cathedral is not made of ice.] type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Day 2 - Geiranger [summer only] Edit This Mouth of Geirangerfjord Mouth of Geirangerfjord photo by: davidx In all seasons the boat stops at [Ålesund} but in summer it cruises from there up to Geiranger and back. The scenery gets more and more impressive by the mile as you travel far from the open sea to one of Norway's most spectacular fjords, the Geirangerfjord. The boat doesn't dock at Geiranger but it's possible to get on or off with a smaller boat and to return to Ålesund by land if you really want to for a considerable extra cost. This can, of course be done as a day trip from Ålesund. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Day 4 - Lofotens Edit This This is based on reading and hindsight rather than experience; a thick mist ruins it. From Stamsund to Svolvaer should be pretty striking. type: general World66 rating: [rate it] Day 6 - Cliff scenery Edit This The mountains have shrunk today but the cliff scenery, including bird rocks, is at its best. If you are lucky, you may see a sea eagle pursuing a massive flock of kittiwakes! type: general World66 rating: [rate it] __________Practical Information Edit This Below you'll find practical information on actual ships postions, timetables, prices, accomodation reservation and more...

Note: Polar areas have very special daylight schemes all over the year. In mid winter season (December in Norway), depending on the position of the ship, you will see the cams only display daylight images from approx. 10.00 am to 3.30 pm. In summertime (June/July), however, the sun will hardly set and you won't be surprised to see lovely scenery images at 3 am. These services are brought to you in cooperation with the newspaper Bergens Tidende and the national broadcasting channel NRK. Keep in mind, however, that the cameraservice is automated. Local conditions such as bad weather or polar night may affect the quality. Please check the Hurtigruten web cams entry below for all details. Should you wish a more general introduction/overview first, you might find the Hurtigruten multimedia presentation useful. Please check the url below.

It's not expensive and it includes a visit to the modern cathedral, which is otherwise shut. The driver/guide is full of humour. Shore trips from the boat are a matter for personal decision. The official view can be read on http://www.coastalvoyage.com/main05/presold.shtml. The view presented here is more negative. Broadly speaking the trips fall into two categories. 1. Alternative ways of travelling between two points:- however good these may be, do you really want, having paid a large amount for the voyage, to pay more to miss part of it and do something else? 2. Trips out while the boat is moored at a port:- good as the Ringve Music Museum at Trondheim and the so-called Ice Cathedral at Tromso may be, this is an expensive way of seeing them and you may be able to find something eqally congenial and far cheaper to do. As for a trip from Kirkenes to see the Russian Border, what do you expect to see? In addition to the price it will cost you the chance of seeing the fine Border Museum with an ordinary service bus. 3. The North Cape trip may be most appealing [and there's precious little to appeal at Honnigsvag, if you don't go. However don't forget that the Sami and their reindeer are not there at all seasons. Some say it's a fabulous environment; others that it's a tourist trap. Perhaps it would be inappropriate for someone who has not been to express a view.
