“As spring sets in and the days grow longer, I always think of summertime in Norway. At the height of summer above the Arctic Circle, Norway gets 24 hours of daylight, with the sun only lightly skimming the horizon before rising again.
“Witnessing the Midnight Sun is something I would encourage all to try to experience at least once. Perpetual daylight offers the opportunity for 24/7 exploration such as horse riding in the Lofoten Islands, a sea eagle safari or hiking with our Coastal Experts.
“Globally, summer is the most popular time for guests to travel with Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express. In Kirkenes, the Midnight Sun period lasts from approximately 17 May until 25 July and by travelling with us during this time guests won’t miss a single thing.
"The magnificent scenery that makes up Norway’s stunning coastline is constantly lit up by the sun’s golden glow, and the long days and bright nights bring a carefree atmosphere to Norway and its coastal communities.
“Summertime is not only most popular with humans, but animals too. It’s breeding season for a variety of bird species including auks, gulls, puffins and kittiwakes, and it’s not uncommon to spot whales near the ship or reindeers grazing along the coast.
“If your customers are seeking a summer adventure, I promise you a Hurtigruten coastal voyage won’t disappoint!”
