Norwegian Coastal Cruises with Hurtigruten Save up to 30% on select 2012 departures from Bergen! Hurtigurten’s unique 12-day cruises along Norway's majestic, rugged coast and magnificent fjords, known as "the world's most beautiful voyage," are legendary. Revel in once-in-a-lifetime sightseeing as your vessel calls at 34 ports along Norway’s fjord-filled west coast between Bergen and Kirkenes. The service was formerly marketed in North America as the “Bergen Line” with a fleet of smaller traditional “mail boats.” The 21st century saw the brand name change to Norwegian Coastal Voyage Inc. as it evolved into a larger, more contemporary product. Now, with the unification of the fleet as Hurtigruten Group ASA, the service is known by its original Norwegian name—the Hurtigruten (fast route). The current Hurtigruten fleet maintains 11 ships—both classic and modern vessels carrying 149 to 1,000 passengers—for continuous service on the Norwegian Coastal Voyage, with daily departures year-round. Rates vary with the season. Many 2012 departures are available at special TravLtips "guaranteed group" savings that give you the best rate available. (Restrictions apply.) Packages are also available. Repeater discount and AARP benefit also available.
