Hi everyone,

I would appreciate an update on how to book port-to-port tickets online (or otherwise). Short of getting a Norwegian VPN (which I might have to do), there is no way to access hurtigruten.no from the US. It directs to hurtigruten.com, where only cruises are sold.

Alternatively, does anyone know of a travel agency in Norway who can sell port-to-port tickets?

From my vantage point it appears that Hurtigruten is segmenting its market as follows: the “ferry/transportation” service is targeted to residents of Norway. For everyone else, they market themselves as a cruise line. To keep the market segmented, they prohibit access to the *.no website from outside Norway. This is unfortunate, but it is what it is. If anyone has any suggestions for how to overcome this limitation, I would appreciate your ideas!

Thank you!
