HURTIGRUTEN SVALBARD EXPRESS - Bergen to Longyearbyen - An incredible Arctic Voyage!
78,874
Published 2023-07-25
The voyage skirts the incredible coastline of Norway and makes extended stops at Åndalsnes, Træna, Stokmarknes, Tromsø and Honningsvåg as well as sailing into the famous Trollfjord. Every single day was spectacular (as was the food!).
The only disappointment - not seeing Bjørnøya (Bear Island) due to thick fog in the Barents Sea. You can't control the weather!

Excellent video, andmost of all, thank you for choosing a norwegian based and operated cruise liner . I wish everyone did the same, mostly to save our wonderfull fjords from international cruiseliner with ships that are polluting way too much . So this is an excellent video for showing how you can travel and experience our wonderful fjords with vessesl that are enviromental friendlier than large cruiseliners . THank You :)

The Norwegian coast is such a fascinating blend of remote, yet highly developed.
-
Glad to see you and your mom Rosemary. My daughter and I (i'm 78) always enjoy your productions. While all around us go south, we always go north!
-
Another fantastic video. I could watch this beautiful coastline all day.

On the same trip like you. thanks for the beautyful pictures....

Visiting Svalbard is my dream, hoping to fulfill it next year for my 50th ❤ This trip looks amazing, thanks for sharing it.

I hope you have had a smooth recovery after your surgery. This looks so peaceful.

Amazing seeing this from your perspective since i was working on board at the time. Great video!
-
Thanks for another wonderful video. What a great way to recuperate from heart surgery!
-
This to me is the most breathtaking scenery. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve sailed on the Trollfjord several times on the coastal express route Bergen to Kirkenes. It was always my favourite ship in the Hurtigruten fleet. Great to see it back in service on the sailings to Svalbard. Thank you!
-
Fantastic! We were on the Svalbard Express north with you (and south after you went on your next adventure) - it was amazing to relive those days through your video, and to see the incredible things you got to see during your time in Svalbard. Thank you for this beautiful travelogue!
-
We took the same cruise in Sept 2023 and it was exactly as you pictured it. A great cruise that I highly recommend to everyone.
-
Very well presented and edited travelogue. I very much enjoyed watching and will seek out your other videos.
-
Recognised many places from Hurtigruten's coastal express and I really love that you took your mum with you. Best wishes for the future.
-
Glad Mum had a good trip too ! Thank you for your video - a fantastic journey !
-
Amazingly compiled. Did the fabulous Hurtigruten Classic Voyage twice and a separate trip by air to Svalbard. Thank you for this wonderful video!
-
Amazing filmography!
-
What a wonderful and sympathetic video. Hurtigruten and Svalbard are on my bucking list, but like so many other things I won't be able to afford them. Remains only to watch longing videos. I also like the beautiful pronunciation.

My goodness, loved everything about this. Your choice of cruise line, the destination and ports, the music, your narration and the beautiful photography. I will share with friends. You are a most gifted blogger and it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much. We are booked on a 16 day cruise on a Princess ship for June 14, 2024 round trip Southampton which goes to the top of Norway. This is the 4 th year we have had this booked, each year cancelled due to Covid and this year due to funds. So fingers crossed for 2024. We live in Vancouver but from the UK originally, so will visit family in the UK prior to cruise. I would love to try Hurtigruten but they are very expensive. Thanks for the video. Regards from Vancouver. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
