From Bergen's ancient Hanseatic wharf and Ålesund's striking Art Nouveau architecture to rugged Arctic outposts such as the Lofoten Islands and distant North Cape, this 18-day tour takes you from toe to tip of Norway’s magnificent fjord-lined coast on a classic Hurtigruten cruise. As well as these trip highlights, you'll call into fun-packed Tromso and historic Trondheim, finally disembarking in Kirkenes, home the Kirkenes Snowhotel and just a short hop from the Russian border.
