Hurtegruten
 

Hi
I am intrigued by the idea of doing coastal Norway on the Hurtegruten
We have done a previous trip on a smaller cruise ship and have always wanted to return as we loved the scenery on that voyage-we went in June and the sun did not set-we went as far north as the Bering Sea
We could go in October-would that be a good time to go?
Thanks

Depends on what you want. I would have thought that was a bit early for Northern Lights, but too late for long summer days.

You are aware that the Hurtegruten boats are not strictly cruise ships?

If you look it up, mind the spelling, it's Hurtigruten.

October is a good time to go. Enough daylight to enjoy the scenery and enough darkness for Northern Lights. It's also one of the quieter times.
Choose your ship carefully.

More options to book shorter trips on the uk site. Even better and cheaper the Norwegian site if you use Chrome browser for translation - https://www.hurtigruten.no/
October can be quite cold - be prepared for that.

You can get aurora any time of the year - but you need dark and clear skies - so October would be a decent choice.

Personally I would go late September as the weather is generally better

Hi
Thanks for the replies
October is a possibility-as I usually do a trip at that time of year and I am exploring some options of what we will do..such a good problem!
