Extra class cruise: Adventure on Norway's coast from Hamburg!

Hamburg, Deutschland - The Hurtigruten tour in Norway is becoming increasingly popular and is marketed as a classic cruise. The "MS Otto Sverdrup" offers a comfortable sea voyage from Hamburg, which lasts almost two weeks and controls eleven coastal towns. Hurtigruten has been driving along the Norwegian coast since 1893, with the original route from Trondheim to Hammerfest and was later also expanded by Bergen to Kirkenes. Currently, ten ships will start up to 34 ports in twelve days, whereby the service is more like a line ferry operation than classic cruises.

The ship "MS Finnmarken" has been converted into the "MS Otto Sverdrup" and its departure port is Hamburg, whereby the trip is marketed as "in the footsteps of the postal ship route". The route comprises eleven coastal towns, some of which are not on the classic postal ship route, including the rocky archipelago Træna, the port site Reine and the village Å with the shortest place name in the world. Further stops lead to Sæbø, Rosendal and to important cities such as Bergen, Ålesund, Trondheim and Tromsø, where passengers can explore the surroundings for 6 to 7 hours. The goal and turning point of the trip is the North Cape.
