AIRLINES, FERRIES, BOATS, and THE COASTAL VOYAGE
Ferries and express boats / catamarans operate from early morning until late at night. There is no need to book and indeed you rarely can do so.
The Norwegian Coastal Voyage (Hurtigruten) meaning the coastal express in Norwegian, sails up the coast of Norway all the way from Bergen right up beyond the Arctic Circle to Kirkenes. The ships are regular service vessels built to carry freight, mail and passengers along the 2,500 nautical miles of coastline. Calling at 34 ports en route, it takes eleven days if you do the entire return trip.
RAIL TRAVEL
Norwegian State Railways (NSB) has a well developed network connecting the main cities. Where the railroad ends, comfortable coaches take you further to Nordkapp, Kirkenes, etc. in the north or Kristiansund, Molde and Ålesund in the west. Most of the long distance routes are scenic routes. Specially spectacular routes to recommend are the Flåm Line (side line from the Bergen line) and Rauma Line from Dombås to Åndalsnes. Norwegian trains are very comfortable and provide good service, both on day and night services. There are also good, direct rail connections with the main cities in Sweden and Denmark.
Fares compare favourably with those in Britain, and there are special rail passes available, valid for unlimited travel during a chosen number of days. These are Scanrail Pass, Norway Rail Pass and Freedom (Domino) - Pass - Norway. Discounts are given on several coaches, ferries, etc. to holders of the Scanrail Pass. Note that favourable prices are offered for Scandinavian connections by British Rail International.
