The Midnight Sun in Northern Norway

Hurtigruten in the Summer

People living along the coast enjoy the sun, the milder sea and lazier days.

In the Land of the Midnight Sun (1 Jun to 15 Sep)

Come summer, the Land of the Midnight Sun truly lives up to its name. The intense, extended daylight, lasting 24 hours a day above the Arctic Circle, makes every
Norwegian ‘night’ a joy to behold.

Brilliant sunshine bathes the shores, fjords, mountains and bays in fire red, soft pink and golden yellow complemented by the deep, soft greens of pine and hardwood. Bask at your leisure in the sunshine - you have all the time in the world; day and night. In fact, you may have to force yourself to go to bed.

In the far north it remains light day and night. Mountain peaks bask in warm sunshine. Rapid changes in the weather make each day a special experience, with seabirds on the watch for fish. Nobody enjoys summer as much as Norwegians.

Why the most beautiful voyage during summer

The Midnight Sun
The days are longer, and north of the Arctic Circle the sun is visible 24 hours a day. 

The Norwegian Fjords
Trollfjord and Geirangerfjord are spectacular at this time of year.

Excursions
We offer an extensive selection of excursions and availability at this time of year.  

Suggested excursions

Summer is the most popular time of the year for exploring Norway’s coast. The energy that our many local passengers exude at this time of the year is likely to rub off on you, so expend it by exploring with Hurtigruten’s exclusive summertime shore excursions and activities. Take in a tour of historical Trondheim, discover Norway’s indigenous Sami culture in Hammerfest, or revel in a midnight concert in Tromsø’s Arctic Cathedral. Enjoy a hike to Svartisen - Norway’s second largest glacier. How about exploring the eastern Russian border region by riverboat? Only in summer. Only with Hurtigruten.
