Norwegian broadcasting company NRK has set aside five days of it's schedule to broadcast live from Hurtigruten's ship MS Nordnorge's voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes


This beautiful journey along Norway's magnificent coastline has already been an experience of a lifetiem for thousands of passengers from around the world.

As the Hurtigruten ships sail north and pass the Arctic Circle, the panorama of the Norwegian coastline is clearly visible even through the night. As you might know, the sun doesn't set during the summer months, and the midnight sun shines almost as bright as the day.

For many, a trip to Norway and travelling with Hurtigruten is a dream. A dream that really should be fulfilled! Until such a realization (and for some days between 16 and 22 June) you can follow Hurtigruten's MS Nordnorge on its journey from Bergen to Kirkenes. Watch in full screen!

Update 22 June: The live broadcast is now over, what a few days it has been! MS Nordnorge has been greeted by cheering people in small and larger communities and towns. NRK's broadcast became a national event, which also received considerable attention abroad! Below you can see some of what you can experience with Hurtigruten.
