Dining

Reflecting our love of food and Norway, each of our onboard restaurants is named after an aspect of the Norwegian coast. Together, they offer our guests an exciting exploration of Norwegian cuisine.

Torget

Where do many of those who live along the coast get their ingredients from? The local food marked. In the same way as the markets in the local communities, Torget is the local center for food on board Hurtigruten, with much to see, hear and smell, our main restaurant offers a varied selection of dishes for the three meals of the day.

Breakfast - served from 7am

Start the day with a selection of hot dishes and a buffet of fresh bread, cereal, fruit, yoghurt, smoothies, juices, energy shots, porridge, salmon, eggs, and pancakes.

Lunch - served from 12pm

From short-traveled products and based on the season's best ingredients, our chefs create bountiful buffets. Taste your way through a culinary journey based on our local, short-traveled products. There is a great selection of vegan dishes every day. Look for the vegan brand and try a sustainable plant-based meal.

Dinner – served from 6pm

Enjoy a three-course dinner and choose from different dishes each day during the journey. There will be a selection of meat and fish dishes. There is a great selection of vegan dishes every day, look for the vegan label on the menu, and try a sustainable plant-based meal.. Each dinner ends with traditional desserts such as homemade cakes, sorbets or pudding - preferably with berry sauces.

Kysten

Dine in style at Kysten, our à la carte restaurant. The name "Kysten" reflects the restaurant's simple, elegant and modern style. Here you can enjoy delicious dishes from our skilled chefs, who use the best ingredients the Norwegian coast has to offer.

Look forward to a menu based on seaweed and kelp, extra tender reindeer and juicy scallops with local butter and wild herbs. You can be sure that the seafood is fresh, that the meat comes from free-range animals, and that the cheeses have won several awards.

Choose a wine to go with the food from the expert selection on our wine list or try a wine package in which Hurtigruten's best wine tasters have paired wine with the food. If you choose our Platinum package, you can eat all three meals every day here as part of the journey.

Multe

Let the aroma of freshly baked cakes and pastries guide you to Multe. This onboard bakery serves open sandwiches, called smørbrød, piled with generous helpings of toppings. Treat yourself to fresh smoothies, a choice of coffees, and luscious ice cream direct from Lofoten.

The name Multe means ‘cloudberry’ in Norwegian. Jam made from this rare Arctic berry can be sampled in the bakery, often served with waffles and generous dollops of whipped cream or ice cream.

All the favourite ice cream flavours are present, plus a few Norwegian inspired ones which you might like to try, like the brunost – brown cheese – ice cream. Two scoops or three?

Brygga Bistro

The name of our onboard bistro can be translated from the Norwegian as ‘wharf’. As you’ll probably see during your voyage with us, wharves on the Norwegian coast are typically busy places bustling with workers loading and unloading cargo, without much time for a relaxing sit-down meal.

It’s fitting then that Brygga serves easy-to-eat yet satisfying dishes such as fresh salads, sandwiches, wraps, and good old comfort food like freshly prepared pizzas and gastro burgers. Try the soup of the day, sirloin steak, or grilled salmon, and finish with locally-inspired desserts and sweet cakes.

Among these crowd pleasers is our mouth-watering signature shrimp sandwich, served with eggs, dill mayonnaise, and a wedge of lemon – a pure Norwegian classic.

Entertainment

Enjoy the art of relaxation as you cruise the Norwegian coast with great views and good company. Our Coastal Experience Team is on hand to enhance your trip with a series of lectures and activities on board.

Explorer Lounge & Bar

What really makes the Explorer Bar stand out is the atmosphere of the surrounding lounge and the panoramic views through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Order from a range of hot and cold beverages, relax in a comfortable armchair, chat with a drink in hand, and watch the world go by.

The Explorer Bar serves premium coffee, organic teas, hot chocolate, fruit juices, various Norwegian beers, red, white, and rosé wine, and a collection of Norwegian aquavit that would make any spirit lover jump for joy.

Enjoy along with a selection of snacks, such as grilled sandwiches using local ham and cheese, or even a Norwegian speciality: dried fish!

Excursions

Brand-new and exclusive optional excursions

We have worked with a range of trusted local activity providers to create an exciting programme of more than 60 new and exclusive optional excursions across The Svalbard Express and The North Cape Express. Between us, we provide you with everything you need for a memorable experience, from kit, snacks and transport to local expertise and enchanting storytelling.

With an average of three excursions in each port there’s something for you whatever your interests or how active you’re feeling on the day, from bus tours along the beautiful Atlantic Road in Norway’s west to kayaking or fishing in Svalbard. When you arrive in Tromsø on The North Cape Express, for example, you can choose from six excursions including dog sledding, whale watching or admiring the views and knitting with the locals on Sommarøy island.

Excursion highlights on The Svalbard Express

With excursions that include everything from stand-up paddleboarding in Åndalsnes or a sea eagle safari by RIB in Vesterålen to a multitude of things to do in Svalbard, it’s hard to pick favourites. But if you’d like to pedal around the idyllic island of Senja, one of our new ports on The Svalbard Express, make sure you book a place on the Scenic e-bike tour. It’s run by a small local company with only 11 bikes, so you get a truly intimate experience.

Excursion highlights on The North Cape Express

Excursions on The North Cape Express vary slightly depending on the season you travel. Dog sledding in Norway isn’t only a winter activity. Try it on wheels in Alta if you’re there before or after the snow. Other excursions, such as the trip to the magical Igloo Hotel, immerse you in a winter wonderland! For raw Arctic adventure, drive a snowmobile to North Cape. Or jump back through Viking history by bus, e-bike or RIB in Haugesund.

How to book

It’s easy to book excursions on The Svalbard Express and The North Cape Express. We recommend booking as early as possible as places are limited on some excursions. Pre-book your excursions online when you book your voyage, email us or add them to your trip via our call centre.

Your Coastal Experience Team

Experts on the Norwegian coast, many of whom live locally, will be by your side as part of your voyage with us, showing you their home and sharing their stories with you.

When it comes to travelling, no guidebook, website, or mobile app can replace the human connection of having someone point out places that are special to them. And that’s where our onboard Coastal Experience Team come in. Using their hands-on experience of Norway and the Norwegian coast, they have one mission: to enhance your voyage by offering engaging insights on the nature, wildlife, and culture you encounter along the way.

From near and far

Many of our Coastal Experience Team members are Norwegians, born and raised on the coast and elsewhere in Norway. They’ll be able to tell you their childhood memories of our ships, what our service means to their coastal community, and perhaps how generations of their family have been connected to Hurtigruten, either as crew or as passengers.

Other team members have lived in Norway for several years. You can learn about what drew them to Norway and to working on our ships. See the coast through their eyes as they pick out details about life here and share interesting anecdotes about their experiences of Norwegian culture.

Enriching your experience

Our Coastal Experience Team enhances your voyage with in-depth knowledge of the local culture, nature, science, and history; an understanding they’ve nurtured over years.

Each team member has a range of specialist, well-researched topics in their repertoire, ready to share with you in lectures and presentations on board, on deck, and ashore.

Passionate about the coast

Dedicated to what they do and to the Norwegian coast, our Coastal Experience Team provide an intimate and personal perspective to your journey with us.

You’ll sense their passion whether they’re busy talking about points of interest out on deck or animatedly telling stories over a relaxed drink at evening gatherings.

Hikers’ heaven

The exceptionally beautiful landscape of the Norwegian coast beckons you to explore it. Thankfully, our onboard Coastal Experience Team knows the areas we sail in better than anyone.

They’ve handpicked a selection of optional hikes for you to enjoy almost every day of your voyage. Enjoy learning more about the local region’s history, geology, biology, and culture as you hike together with them.

Embracing ‘friluftsliv’

Hikes give you an opportunity to ‘friluftsliv’, a Norwegian concept which has at its heart an innate, quasi-spiritual affinity towards nature and the outdoors.

Fresh air, sitting around a campfire with a warm cup of coffee, the crunch of soft snow underfoot, or the warmth of the sun on your skin while walking the trail – these are some of the simple elements you’ll probably experience on your hike, making up the pure pleasure of friluftsliv.
