Hurtigruten has announced a new culinary and drink-themed itinerary launching this fall.
The seven-day voyage includes three nights onboard the Original Coastal Express from Bergen to Stamsund, two nights at partner farms in Lofoten and Vesterålen, and one night at a distillery by Lyngen Fjord in northern Norway.
Following widespread acclaim for its Norway’s Coastal Kitchen program, Hurtigruten has curated new small-group departures set for September 21, October 5, October 19, and November 2, 2025.
“More and more foodie travellers are discovering Norway, and Hurtigruten offers some of the freshest produce you can eat on a ship thanks to our 70+ partners along the coastline. So, it was a natural evolution for us to create small group itineraries to run just a few times a year, where our guests can enjoy truly the best of what Norway has to offer when it comes to food and drinks,” said Øistein Nilsen, Hurtigruten’s Culinary Director.
The new voyages deliver a premium gastronomic experience highlighting Norway’s exceptional coastal flavors. Beginning in Bergen, during the first three days, guests will savor a fresh shellfish platter from the local fjords, enjoy a tasting session at the women-owned Feddie Ocean Distillery, a five-course tasting menu featuring fjord and mountain produce, a Trøndelag-inspired lunch, and a four-course Sámi dinner crafted by Sámi Culinary Ambassador Máret Rávdná Buljo. Guests will also sample Hurtigruten’s unique “Bubbles of the Sea” sparkling wine, matured for twelve months deep beneath the Arctic Sea.
n peak season, up to 80% of Hurtigruten’s onboard food is sourced locally along the Norwegian coast, while 60% of 154 drink products year-round, supporting over 70 farms, fisheries, bakeries, butchers, cheesemakers, and distilleries through its Norway’s Coastal Kitchen network.
The new itineraries are available now through Hurtigruten.com or via travel advisors.
