Demand from Scandinavia is growing strongly. The number of Danish customers has increased by 17 percent from 2024 to 2025, while the number of Swedish travelers has grown by 20 percent during the same period.

“We are pleased that many Danes wish to experience Norway’s beautiful coastline, and we look forward to welcoming even more guests. With departures from Copenhagen, travelers will experience the very best of Norwegian fjords and coastal communities at a slower pace,” says Hurtigruten’s CEO, Hedda Felin.

Copenhagen Malmö Port AB also welcomes the expansion of the route offering.

In addition to the Copenhagen route, Hurtigruten is launching a week-long fjord sailing from Bergen as well as a round trip in Northern Norway starting and ending in Tromsø. The sailings are aimed at travelers seeking authentic experiences, with longer stays in each port and excursions developed in collaboration with local operators.

All voyages will take place aboard TROLLFJORD and follow Hurtigruten’s signature concept, where all food and beverages are included and based on local ingredients, with ample time spent in each port.

The new routes are currently being introduced with selected departures during limited periods. Bookings opened on 12 February 2026, and the first sailings will take place from 2027.
