Short cruises from Hurtigruten

Hurtigruten’s short cruise itineraries focus on the Gota Canal in Sweden: both a beautiful waterway and a fully utilised transport route with barge traffic carrying everything from trees to Ikea supplies! For this route, Hurtigruten uses three restored vintage vessels, the MS Diana, Juno and the Wilhelm Tham and offers two, four or six day journeys along parts of the canal between Gothenburg and Stockholm. If you opt for the six day itinerary you’ll travel through two seas, one river, three canals, eight lakes, and 66 locks! This kind of cruise allows you to enjoy the town’s along the route, Sweden’s natural beauty at a relaxed pace, and some excellent on-board cuisine.
