What travellers say
I travel a lot and buy plenty of travel books. I have never come across a book with so much concise, detailed, important information as this one. You most certainly cannot find this information online. I have read this book cover to cover and have highlighted so much. If I don’t have this book in hand while travelling with Hurtigruten (summer 2026), I would miss so much. This book goes day by day with times, information, and maps, so you can leave it open each day to find the right information for each part of the day. One example of the accuracy of this book is its reference to the stretches of rough seas, which one cannot find anywhere else. The port guides are incredible, with Q codes so waypoints and tracks can be used on Google Maps on your phone, which is a bonus.
Money well spent; it will largely enhance our journey north and then south along the Norwegian coast.
The Coastal Ferry Guidebook is a very well-written and informative travel guide. It includes useful details about the geography and history of the places along the route, and even browsing through the book already makes you feel like you’re on the journey. The book arrived quickly by mail. I highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip on the fairytale-like Hurtigruten coastal voyage.
