The Svalbard Line is a seasonal Signature voyage from Bergen to Longyearbyen. Current 2026–27 programmes use MS Trollfjord and MS Midnatsol depending on the departure and include all-inclusive dining and longer destination stays.
Follow the terminal and check-in instructions on your booking confirmation. Port arrangements can vary by operator, vessel and departure.
Current Svalbard Line arrival and departure guidance uses Jektevik Terminal in Bergen. Embarkation is scheduled well before the afternoon departure, so arrive within the check-in window shown in your travel documents.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner and selected drinks are included in the Signature voyage package.
Accommodation is part of the multi-day voyage, with cabin categories depending on ship and fare.
A larger Expedition Team provides talks, storytelling and activities connected with the coast and Arctic destinations.
Panoramic lounges, bars and connectivity help make the long coastal and Arctic sailing comfortable between ports.
Facilities and vessel assignments can change. Treat the live booking result and Hurtigruten information as definitive for your departure.
The Svalbard Line is a multi-day Arctic voyage rather than a normal vehicle-ferry crossing. Follow the personal travel documents and ship-manifest instructions issued for your booking.
Carry the passport or identity document required for your nationality and itinerary and ensure the details match your booking.
Complete any required passenger manifest information and keep your Hurtigruten booking documents available for embarkation.
Longyearbyen onward travel often involves flights. Leave a sensible connection margin and verify current airline and Svalbard entry requirements.
Longyearbyen is the main settlement on Spitsbergen and a base for Svalbard experiences, museums, guided excursions and onward air travel. Independent travel outside the settlement requires careful Arctic planning and, in many cases, organised local expertise.
Build enough margin between the ship arrival and any flight or separately booked excursion. Weather and Arctic operating conditions can affect schedules.
