Hurtigruten announced it has opened bookings for its 2028/29 season, expanding its Signature voyage program and making three recently introduced itineraries permanent additions to its lineup.
The new season covers departures from April 1, 2028, to March 31, 2029, with additional sailings along Norway's coast and beyond.
Following the introduction of its Limited Collection sailings, Hurtigruten has confirmed that The Arctic Line, The Inner Fjords Explorer and The Arctic Circle Explorer will become permanent fixtures in its Signature program, with more departures available.
The expanded program will feature two styles of small-ship cruising, offering travellers different ways to explore Norway's coastline and coastal communities.
Signature Line voyages, including The Svalbard Line, North Cape Line and Arctic Line, focus on exploring Norway's coastline across multiple regions. Itineraries range from eight-day half voyages to 15-day round-trip sailings, including summer departures to Svalbard and winter voyages from Copenhagen and Oslo.
Signature Explorer voyages, including The Inner Fjords Explorer and Arctic Circle Explorer, concentrate on individual regions. These eight-day itineraries offer a slower pace and greater flexibility, allowing more time to explore local communities and natural attractions.
Both options include extended port visits, expert-led presentations and all-inclusive food and beverages.
“The response to our new Signature itineraries has been fantastic, so we're delighted to make all three a permanent part of our programme. It reflects a growing appetite for more immersive travel, with guests looking to spend longer in destinations, discover lesser-known places and connect more closely with local communities,” said Matt DeWitte, Hurtigruten's VP Sales and Marketing, Americas.

The 2028/29 season will also include Hurtigruten's Original Coastal Express, which continues to operate its historic route between Bergen and Kirkenes.
The service calls at 34 ports along Norway's coast, transporting local passengers and cargo alongside international travellers, offering a look at everyday life in the country's coastal communities.
“Our 2028/29 season offers more ways than ever to experience Norway, whether that's exploring a particular region in depth, discovering our spectacular coastline or travelling alongside local communities on our historic Original Coastal Express. And with our reduced 10% deposit offer, there's an added incentive to start planning that next Norwegian adventure.”
Reduced Deposit Offer Until November 16
To coincide with the opening of bookings, Hurtigruten has reduced its deposit requirement from 25% to 10% for eligible new reservations made between November 9 and 16, 2026.
The offer applies to departures between April 1, 2028, and March 21, 2029. Deposits are due seven days after booking, with final payment required 90 days before departure.
Port-to-Port Coastal voyages are excluded, and the company reserves the right to withdraw the offer at any time.
