Hurtigruten, the leader in iconic Norwegian coastal voyages, has unveiled three brand-new ‘Limited Collection’ itineraries for 2027–2028. The voyages, which include Hurtigruten’s first fjord-only itinerary and its most immersive fjord voyage to date, are shaped by Norway’s changing seasons and spectacular scenery, drawing on more than 130 years’ experience sailing this dramatic coastline. Guided by the unrivalled insight of Hurtigruten’s captains, guests will explore areas of the high Arctic and world-famous western fjords more in-depth than ever before.

Sailing between April 2027 and May 2028 aboard MS Trollfjord, the new Signature itineraries offer a deeper, more flexible way to explore Norway’s most celebrated coastal regions. Guests can expect to enjoy longer stays of typically nine to fifteen hours in fewer, less-visited ports - including new destinations such as Rosendal, Skjolden and Eidfjord - alongside adaptable sailing routes that allow captains to shape each journey around the day’s conditions, delivering the best scenery and wildlife encounters.

“No one knows the Norwegian coastline like Hurtigruten,” said Hedda Felin, CEO at Hurtigruten. “These new voyages are rooted in generations of local knowledge, allowing our captains to adapt each journey to the conditions of the day - revealing Norway at its most spectacular. They are voyages shaped by nature, guided by expertise, and created for travellers who want to truly connect with the places they visit, not just sail past them.”

To celebrate the launch, guests booking by 30 April 2026 will receive up to €500 in onboard credit per cabin.
