Day 5: Hurtigruten’s Cruise Ferry MS Richard With Bergen – Kirkenes – Bergen, April/May 2025

By Paul Bryers

As the journey progresses, it is becoming increasingly challenging to keep track of the days and our destinations – a testament to the sheer volume of Hurtigruten experiences!

We had a picturesque sail before and after Finnsnes.

…before we arrived in Tromso.

I tried my hand, or should I say, feet at cross-country skiing. Spectacular Fail despite being a reasonable downhill skier….aw well … and as for the sore thighs the next morning…

Better on a mountain bike…that I can handle, mebbies…

Nice view while attempting to ski…


Subsequently, the sail to Skjervoy was nothing short of spectacular! Can I say sore thighs?
