Autumn colours.

Hurtigruten in the Autumn

As summer fades, watch the coastline shift from one beautiful season to another. Along the Norwegian shores the sharp, clear air strengthens the reds, yellows and oranges which fill the mountain sides, hilltops and woods. And of you are lucky the Northern Lights will appear and provide an act of magic.

The period of bright colours (16 Sep to 14 Nov)

Hurtigruten sails on, into the season of clear colours. The first cool evenings summon the colours of autumn, as vivid shades of russet, ochre and rouge creep into the leaves of broadleafed trees. From the deck, framed by an icy blue sky, you can see a sprinkling of early snow on the highest peaks and there’s a sense of expectation across the natural environment. 

Why the most beautiful voyage during autumn

Bright colours
The landscape is beautifully coloured in red, yellow, orange, green and blue.

The air
The Autumn air is very clear.

Snow
There may be snow on the highest mountains, and in the north.

Lights
The dark period is about to start, with the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights.

Killer whales
Killer whales come to the coast of Northern Norway in this period, so you may catch sight of them (Nov-Feb).

Suggested excursions

Autumn is a tranquil time to travel with Hurtigruten. Avail yourself of the many year-round excursions and activities. Take a sightseeing trip in Tromsø, Kirkenes and Trondheim. Follow in the footsteps of the Vikings in the beautiful Vesterålen archipelago.

Or join the riverboat safari along the Pasvik river – a waterway with a cultural history dating back thousands of years. As summer fades, watch the coastline shift from one season to another. Along Norway’s shores the sharp, clear air strengthens the reds, yellows and oranges, which fill the mountainsides, hilltops and woods. And if you are lucky the Northern Lights will appear and provide an act of magic.
