    The HURTIGRUTEN EXPERIENCE: Hop On & Off up the 3000KM Norwegian Coast with a BIKE.



    Norway has one of the longest and most beautiful coastlines in the world. On a bike, It’s a long journey from Bergen to Lofoten or Tromsø to Kirkenes. Using Norway’s famous Coastal Express Service is the ideal way to skip sections so you can cycle the most appealing parts. In this video, I’ll show you what it’s like to spend 24 hours on board and how practical the journey is for cyclists.

      You have my husband and I in tears! We love Norway. We’ve been on a few of the Hurtigruten as port guests in Ålesund. And a few years back, when staying in Tromsø we went as foot passengers to Lofoton. Walked the decks all night as it was so magical!

      I did 2 seasons working on cruise ships on Norway (MSC Cruises). Indeed the most amazing coastline! Not to mention the Svalbard Islands. It was during the summer, so no Northern Lights, but a lot of Midnight Sun. Favourite port? Well, not really the port, but the entry from the sea to Tromso. Spectacular lights! I discovered Hurtigruten few years ago, and really dreaming to do once a full cruise up and down. Not that cheap, though 🙂

      Thank you Matthew, what an incredible beautiful views you showed us again. The Hurtigruten is one of a kind as we could see in youre video.

      for all Norwegians:Remember that NRK had made a minute by minute documentary of the live onboard😃Especially the tour from Bronnøysund to Kirkenes was awesome, with midsummeernight and all🤩

      That information fro the captain sucks about the historie:the founder and the 1.. ship called Richard With. The company was based in Stockmarkknes (Lofoten/ Vesterålen.You have a museum there today with one of the old ships as an exaple😀

      We took the ship from Bergen to Stamsund 4 years ago. Rented a car and toured the Lofoten Islands then took the bus to Narvik, and train to Stockhom. Very memorable trip!

      Matthew, you are simply amazing. I think it is time that we Norwegians give you a Norwegian passport and make you an honorary citizen of our country. I am so incredibly impressed by what you are doing for Norway.
