Hurtigruten, the undisputed cruise expert on Norway and its stunning coastline, is offering Wave Season discounts of up to $4,000 off per person.
All three Hurtigruten products – the Original Coastal Express that celebrated 130 years of operation this summer and the brand-new Svalbard Express and North Cape Express itineraries launched this year – are all available with discounts.
The new Svalbard Express and North Cape Express differ from the Original Coastal Express by spending more time in ports with the refurbished MS Trollfjord. The Svalbard Express is the only sailing linking the Norwegian mainland with the Svalbard archipelago and is timed around the Midnight Sun, whereas the North Cape Express sails during the popular Northern Lights season.

Hurtigruten says that as the sun heads towards solar maximum in 2024/25 – a peak in solar activity that occurs every 11 years and sees an increased number of charged particles released into space -- it means that the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons offer some of the best-ever viewing opportunities of this natural phenomena.
The Svalbard Express is up to $4,000 off for sailings from May through September 2024, while guests can save up to $3,000 when travelling on the North Cape Express between December 2024 and April 2025. On the Original Coastal Express, savings of up to $2,000 are available on sailings between April and December 2024. All trips must be booked by March 31, 2024.
“With our 130-year legacy of sailing the Norwegian coast, no one knows Norway better than Hurtigruten, and no one does Norway better than us,” said Carly Biggart, VP of Sales & Marketing for Hurtigruten Americas.
“We offer a distinctively different cruise experience where you travel like a local on small ships, explore gorgeous fjords, visit small, otherwise hard-to-reach towns along the coast, and enjoy lectures onboard to learn more about Norwegian traditions, history, and people.”
