12 Days on the Norwegian Coast: Was It Worth It?

Sail Norway’s coast aboard the Hurtigruten Coastal Express yourself! ???? → https://hurtigrut.prf.hn/click/camref:1101l47nm3 Our voyage was kindly hosted by Hurtigruten, and all opinions (and awkward family moments) are completely our own. ???? After twelve days, sixty-eight ports, and more fjords, cinnamon, and sea eagles than we can count… this is it — the grand finale of The Three of Us — my special travel series with my parents. ???????????? From cuddling huskies at a snow hotel made of ice, to standing at the very edge of Europe at the North Cape, to hiking through a mountain at Torghatten, to capturing the most cinematic seagull content of my life — this voyage has been puuuuuure magic. This final episode aboard the hybrid ship MS Richard With takes us deep into the Arctic and all the way back home to Bergen — wrapping up twelve unforgettable days together at sea.???? ???? This episode includes: • Visiting the Kirkenes Snowhotel (and cuddling all the huskies ????‍????) • Standing at the North Cape — the northernmost point in Europe ???? • A surprise visit to the captain’s bridge ???? • Hiking through the iconic Torghatten mountain hole ⛰️ • A wild sea eagle safari + sailing into Trollfjord • Fine dining, pizza nights, and those slow Arctic sunsets ???? ✨ About the series: This marks the end of The Three of Us — my family travel project with my parents, ticking off bucket-list adventures around Europe together. From scenic trains to Arctic ferries, this one’s been something really special. ???? ???? Want to experience it yourself? Hurtigruten sails year-round between Bergen and Kirkenes, stopping at 34 ports in each direction — connecting tiny towns, locals, mail, and travellers like you and I! ????
