CONNECTING COASTAL ASA Hurtigruten Photo: COMMUNITIES since 1893

Captain Richard With

It all started with the rich fishing grounds along the Norwegian coast. With a seaway that wove its way between dangerous reefs, islands, and inlets, it became imperative by the 19th century to find a safer trade route between the north and south of Norway.

Maritime maps were unreliable at that time, and there were only a few lighthouses. When the Norwegian government finally decided to create a new sea connection, Richard With and his friend Anders Holthe took on the job of thoroughly mapping the Norway’s coastal waters. In 1893, Captain With’s steamer DS Finmarken, built in 1912 DS Vesteraalen was brought into regular service along the coast, voyaging from Trondheim to Hammerfest, and later from Bergen HURTIGRUTEN THEN AND NOW to Kirkenes, in just seven days.

Each week brings a marked increase in both daylight hours and the greenery of the fjords. Buds appear on bare branches as color gently returns to the landscape. At the higher latitudes of the Arctic region, winter struggles to maintain its grip. Eventually, it relents—although the snow is still seen well into spring. Hurtigruten ships skirt the Finnmark plateau and coast, which is largely ice-free thanks to the warming waters of the Gulf Stream.

EXCITING EXCURSIONS Spring means more time to explore the Geirangerfjord region, which is renowned for its dramatic landscapes and charming towns, including Alesund, the Art Nouveau treasure house of Norway. Hurtigruten’s Geiranger–Alesund shore excursion, available In spring, you can experience throughout April and May, highlights the best of the region, from the breathtaking majesty of the tumbling Seven Sisters waterfalls to three seasons the towering Eagle Bend scenic outlook.

There is no better way to experience the Northern Lights than on a Hurtigruten voyage. As the days shrink into extended—in some spots, seemingly eternal—night, we sail through the Arctic twilight, becoming one with the peaceful, otherworldly atmosphere descending around us.

Clusters of cozy houses glow on the shores like embers. Small towns materialize, safe harbors in the night as we pull ashore to pick up new passengers. And the stunning backdrop of snow-clad mountains reflects the polar twilight to bathe us in eerie shades.

The sun is low on the horizon, and, north of the Arctic Circle, even below the horizon for some weeks. This natural phenomenon creates fascinating atmospheric light displays. You can never know when Aurora Borealis, the Northern Lights, will appear or disappear again, but sailing north with Hurtigruten will give you a pretty good chance to experience the magical show, with lights ranging from light green to dark purple flickering across the Arctic sky.
