I Took Norway’s Coastal Express to the Russian Border

#Norway #CoastalExpress #havilahcunnington #Hurtigruten

I took Norway’s famous Coastal Express from Bergen all the way to Kirkenes, near the Russian border, to see what this route is really like port by port. Used by both Havila and Hurtigruten, it’s part cruise, part working lifeline, and one of the most unusual ways to see a country. From fjord cities and Lofoten peaks to Arctic towns in Finnmark, this journey keeps changing the further north you go.

If you enjoy unusual travel routes, Norway cruises, and seeing what places are really like beyond the brochure, this one is for you.

I explore unusual journeys, overlooked borders, and the reality behind the most interesting travel experiences. This is travel for the curious — not just where to go, but what it’s actually like.
