Norway Coastal Route: Norwegian Pronunciation Guide to All 34 Ports

Like many others, I love the Norwegian coastal route. The full 11-night roundtrip voyage calls at 34 ports up and down the Norwegian coastline, ranging from big cities to tiny villages, allowing guests to enjoy the very best activities and experiences Norway has to offer.
However, many international visitors struggle to pronounce many of the ports along the route. On my recent voyage on board the brand new Havila Polaris, I met someone who I thought would be perfect to teach us to say all 34 ports properly.
Watch and listen to Sverre Andreassen, Navigation Officer on the Havila Voyages ship Havila Polaris, as he explains how to say all the ports on Kystruten, the Norwegian coastal route.

Loved this! Ty 🥰 He is a gentile, kind soul who loves to share, teach, uplift and share his magical country!

Thank you for those kind words! I will pass them on :)

[@kariwilson809]

So glad you were aboard with us, making sure of our pronunciation. Thank you again for your hospitality to a couple of sisters. You made our trip unforgettable. 😊

This is brilliant and so informative! thank you both to you and the Captain for putting this together. One day will be on board ❤

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@cherifurr3935]

This was very helpful!

[@lifeinnorway1]

Thanks! 🙏

[@Oakridger2024]

Tussen Tak!! I'm trying very hard to at least not totally mispronounce the cities and people's names! I'll be on Havila Castor in June and I'm so excited!

[@lifeinnorway1]

Don’t worry too much! The Norwegian crew are used to all kinds of pronunciations, even within the Norwegian language =)

[@alanna8983]

What I'd give to be able to afford to go there!
So beautiful.

[@lifeinnorway1]

It sure is beautiful, I hope you get to visit one day! In the meantime, thanks for watching 🙌

Thanks David! We are booked on the Polaris next week sailing the short round trip Tromsø → Kirkenes → Tromsø. Were you able to see the aurora at all given the weather?

[@lifeinnorway1]

Yes, on two nights. I’m making a much longer video about the voyage as a whole. I’m not sure if it’ll be ready before your trip, but perhaps it’d be full of spoilers anyway ;) Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@spindifferent8900]

Thanks! The weather forecasts always look discouraging for aurora viewing, but I'm keeping my hope alive for a show while we are there. Keep up the great work!@@lifeinnorway1

[@EmmaCruises]

People struggle to pronounce the names?! Who? (Me) 🤣❤️

[@lifeinnorway1]

You are one of the biggest offenders! Thanks for watching 🙌

[@cherifurr3935]

He is young to be a captain!

[@Kaila999]

He is a navigation officer, not the captain.

[@lifeinnorway1]

He’s a Navigation Officer, but still young for that role I’d say! He knows his stuff though 👍🏽

[@gab10020]

norwegian ports have the weirdest ships lol

[@lifeinnorway1]

OK! Thanks for watching 🙌
