What is on sale
The season includes the Original Coastal Express, the historic route between Bergen and Kirkenes that calls at 34 ports. Hurtigruten’s “Limited Collection” sailings are becoming permanent Signature voyages, with more departures now open; the sources did not list those itineraries in detail. “The response to our new Signature itineraries has been fantastic,” said Hayley Moore, vice president of sales and marketing for the U.K. and emerging markets.

What it means for airline travelers
- The Coastal Express runs one way between Bergen and Kirkenes, so plan open-jaw flights: into Bergen (BGO) and home from Kirkenes (KKN), or the reverse.
- Airline schedules for 2028–29 are not yet on sale; you can lock in the cruise now and add flights once schedules open.
- Non-revs: if you plan to reach Bergen on standby, build in a buffer night before departure — the ship will not wait.
- This is a public promotion; the sources said nothing about travel-industry or interline rates.
