Hurtigrute is the ship going from Bergen up to Kirkenes and back.
If you have heard about this voyage, you may know that taking this ship from Bergen and to the far north and back takes 11 days. It is a dream for many Norwegians - and some foreigners too.
The official price is, according to a pamphlet I have, around 1400 Norwegian crowns (230 US dollars?) a day for one person in a double room with three full meals. It is possibly to take part of many special excursions along the route, if you decide to pay extra for it.
This spring my mother will go on this trip. She is so excited about the birds she will see along the coast, and the fantastic nature up in the north. It will be the first time she is going north of Trondheim.
Perhaps I will one day in the future have the opportunity to do at least some part of the trip. Spending 11 days on a ship seems to much for me....
