About this Experience
A different kind of cruise experience
We’ve been carrying visitors, locals and cargo along the Coastal Express route, steady as the tides since 1893. Our iconic postal ships call at 34 picturesque ports between Bergen and Kirkenes all year round – but it’s never just about the schedule. It’s about feeling the true pulse of everyday life along “The World’s Most Beautiful Voyage”.
On an Original voyage, you don’t just cruise Norway’s coast. You live it.
