MS Kong Harald (coastal express) in Geirangerfjord.

Hurtigruten AS is a Norwegian coastal ferry service and cruise line headquartered in Oslo, Norway. It is one of two companies currently operating Hurtigruten, the coastal ferry service along the Norwegian coast from which it takes its name.

In 2020, 81% of the company was owned by TDR Capital. The CEO is Daniel Skjeldam.

History

Hurtigruten AS is the result of a merger between the two previous operators of the Hurtigruten service, Troms Fylkes Dampskibsselskap (TFDS) and Ofotens og Vesteraalens Dampskibsselskab (OVDS). TFDS was founded in 1866, and OVDS was established in 1868. The two companies merged in March 2006 to form Hurtigruten Group ASA, and twelve months later the merged entity assumed the name Hurtigruten ASA.Шаблон:Citation needed

In 2012, the company headquarters was moved from Narvik to Tromsø. In October 2014, TDR Capital purchased a majority ownership of Hurtigruten.

In 2015, the legal form of Hurtigruten was changed from ASA to AS.
