Unlock the wonders of the Arctic north with special shore excursions. Spend an unforgettable night in a snow hotel. Embark on a snowmobile safari in Lapland. Thrill to the action of dog sledging on the island of Kvaløya. Whatever the activity, you are in the middle of spectacular winter scenery.

The Arctic lights
Arctic blue, icy white, fiery yellow, mother of pearl, and the fascinating Aurora Borealis (Northern lights). In the north the sun is leaving and returning.

The winter landscape
It is beautiful, pure and extremely varied.

The air
The air is fresh, clean, pure and crisp.

Sailing far, far north
We sail far above the Arctic Circle. The coast of Norway is one of few places in the world where this is possible in wintertime, due to ice free ports as a result of the Gulf Stream.

The term “Hunting the Light” originates from one of our captains. He had observed guests out on deck chasing the most magical of all natural phenomena; the Northern Lights. “Hunting the Light” is a signature of Hurtigruten’s winter voyages, hunting and experiencing the many and beautiful types of light visible during the winter months.
