Why choose Hurtigruten for Expedition Cruising? ...
In this age of mass tourism, this exploration company offers unique experiences, journeys created for adventurers that value learning and personal growth. Highly-trained expedition team professionals host in-depth lectures and arrange safe nature landings and activities such as kayaking, snow shoeing and wilderness camping for the braver cruisers.
Included in your cruise is all you need for an adventure expedition - guidance from the expert expedition team, complimentary expedition jacket, loan of boots, trekking poles and equipment and a rich program of included activities.
Exciting destinations offered are unique places such as Svalbard (Spitzbergen), Greenland, Arctic and Antarctica, Iceland, Alaska, Russia, the Northwest Passage as well as warm water locations in South America and the Caribbean.
The custom-built, smaller expedition ships (with reinforced hulls to tackle the icy waters of the North) can go where the big ships can't reach - closer to nature.
Life onboard the ships is of premium comfort and with plenty of relaxation. And the delicious, high-end food comes with a modern twist, drawn for the Norwegian heritage. You will have great food experiences with casual dining as well as fine dining and beverages (beer, wine, sodas and mineral water) included in the restaurants during lunch and dinner. Complimentary coffee and tea are included throughout the day, too. On the recreation sector, you will find an infinity pool, gym and running tracks.
Their mission is to offer sustainable nature experiences with several unique destinations from pole to pole. Hurtigruten is the world's greenest cruise company with the first ever hybrid expedition vessels, with the ultimate goal to operate its fleet completely emission free. The Hurtigruten cruise line is also the first to remove all un-necessary single-use plastic across all ships.
And with the imminent launch of the new hybrid expedition ships MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen, Hurtigruten truly enters a new era of exploration travel.
