Springtime is an incredible time of year to visit Norway. As the sun returns to rejuvenate the Norwegian shores and temperatures
begin rising, life returns to the land. This year it is even more accessible,
with Hurtigruten offering free direct flights and a £250 saving on their
12-day 'Classic Round Voyage' along the Norwegian coast, departing in April.
At this time of year, there are great contrasts along the Norwegian
coast. You can travel from a Spring climate in Bergen and head into the Arctic Circle, where signs of Winter are slower to
disappear and snow caps still decorate the mountain tops. Travel as far north as
Kirkenes on the Russian border and visitors can still participate in winter
excursions such as a ‘Husky Sledge Adventure’ or ‘Snowmobile
Safari’.
Those joining the voyage will be among the first of
Hurtigruten’s customers to enjoy a trip into the Lyngenfjord. Flanked by the
mighty, tall and steep peaks of the Lyngen Alps, the area offers natural
contrasts with deep blue water, bubbling waterfalls and
green banks in some areas, while elsewhere it shows its dramatic side with
glaciers that reach from the steep banks to the fjord, rugged cliffs and deep
canyons.
Depart on April 1 or 12 from London Gatwick or April 23 from
Manchester and join the voyage from Bergen up to Kirkenes and
back, stopping at 34 ports along the way. Prices now start from £1,043 per
person for the April 1 departure, including direct return flights, transfers and
the 12 day voyage on full board basis, based on two people sharing an inside
cabin (subject to
availability).
