WELCOME TO HURTIGRUTEN<br />

Join us on a voyage through the calm, sheltered<br />

waters of <strong>Norway</strong>’s shores, closer to the landscape,<br />

wildlife and inhabitants. Since 1893, our<br />

ships have been a vital link between the cities,<br />

towns and hamlets, carrying local passengers,<br />

freight and guests. For more than 120 years we<br />

have sailed along the coastline, deeper into the<br />

heart of this spectacular landscape than anyone<br />

else. We take you to fjords, waterways and ports<br />

that larger ships cannot reach. There is no better<br />

way to enjoy the truly Norwegian way of life than<br />

on the original Coastal Voyage. Experience the<br />

changing seasons that set the rhythm of life for<br />

local people. Whenever you sail with us, you will<br />

be provided with an ever-changing backdrop to<br />

a journey of matchless wonder.<br />

We wish you a warm welcome on board!<br />

Closer to the Norwegian Coastline<br />

We take you closer<br />

to <strong>Norway</strong>’s coastline than anyone else<br />

Experience the natural, unspoiled and endless<br />

beauty of the Norwegian coastline on<br />

a Hurtigruten voyage. <strong>Norway</strong> offers spectacular<br />

scenery and captivating wildlife, and<br />

with us you will get unique views that other<br />

cruise lines cannot offer. Our captains have<br />

sailed this route more than 10,000 times,<br />

and they still look forward to it every time.<br />

Join us as we take you closer than anyone<br />

else to this landscape, the fjords and waterways.<br />

No one knows how to sail these waters<br />

better than us, and we guarantee you<br />

sights, tastes and experiences that you’ll<br />

never forget.

Vardø, our easternmost port.<br />

Its name derives from the<br />

old Norse Vargøy, meaning<br />

‘wolf island’.<br />

© Stein J. Bjørge<br />

As with the scenery en route, it is the sheer variety of sights, sounds, scents and surprises that make the coastal voyage<br />

such a delight. We visit 34 ports, delivering freight and our passengers to places seldom visited by anyone other than<br />

guests travelling with Hurtigruten. With us you can explore these remote communities, from the temperate waters of<br />

the south to the cooler seas above the Arctic Circle.<br />

Hurtigruten vessels have called at many of these ports since<br />

1893 and their punctual arrival is still expected every day, all year<br />

round. Many of our ports of call along the way are little more<br />

than tranquil hamlets on tiny islands. The inhabitants rely on our<br />

ships to bring essential groceries and supplies or to take them<br />

to the nearest town for shopping. Others are long established,<br />

bustling towns, owing their prosperity to the fishing, mining or<br />

shipbuilding industries. At each port you can expect something<br />

different. Explore the smaller ones on foot, by bike (available<br />

for hire from the ship) or stay on board and watch as goods and<br />

passengers leave and join.<br />

At larger ports or during longer stays, you may wish to join one of<br />

the many excursions we offer, ensuring you get to experience the<br />

life, culture and landscape of this spectacular coastline.<br />

The vast variety of the Norwegian landscape, history and<br />

culture reveals itself through our choice of enlightening and<br />

memorable excursions. All of them are offered especially<br />

to enhance the experience you will take with you. Most of<br />

our guides are locals, with expert information about the<br />

area’s geography, culture and history. In addition to their<br />

knowledge, they add a little extra with interesting and funny<br />

anecdotes, making it an extra special experience.<br />

The residents of our ports of call often visit our ships to<br />

enjoy a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. You will also get a<br />

chance to meet the locals that use Hurtigruten as a means<br />

of transportation. The informal atmosphere on board makes<br />

it easy to strike up conversation, and people are genuinely<br />

interested to share experiences and stories. This is one of<br />

the many unique aspects of a Hurtigruten voyage.<br />

HISTORY<br />

1898<br />

1925<br />

1937<br />

1952<br />

1893<br />

On 2 July, our first steamship<br />

DS Vesteraalen sailed from<br />

Trondheim, docking in nine<br />

ports along the way, and arriving<br />

in Hammerfest 30 minutes<br />

ahead of schedule on 5 July.<br />

1896<br />

Hurtigruten’s founder, Richard<br />

With, opened a hotel on Spitsbergen,<br />

and the Hurtigruten<br />

“Sportsman’s Route” was put<br />

into operation between<br />

Hammerfest and Svalbard.<br />

The route along the Norwegian<br />

coast was extended to the south<br />

and included Bergen with one<br />

weekly departure.<br />

1908<br />

Kirkenes, near the Russian<br />

border, became the northern<br />

turning point of the coastal<br />

voyage.<br />

1922<br />

The Lofoten and Vesterålen<br />

archipelagos became regular<br />

stops.<br />

DS Dronning Maud was the<br />

first ship of a new generation.<br />

For the first time, cabins had<br />

running water and a separate<br />

ventilation system.<br />

1936<br />

A ship left Bergen every day.<br />

Each year, more than 230,000<br />

passengers travelled onboard<br />

the fleet, which comprised 14<br />

ships.<br />

All Hurtigruten ships were<br />

equipped with a radio transmitter.<br />

1940 – 45<br />

Several ships took over transport<br />

services for the Norwegian<br />

government during the World<br />

War II. 14 ships were destroyed.<br />

1945<br />

The reconstruction of<br />

Hurtigruten after World War II<br />

took the highest priority.<br />

Since 1949, seven new ships<br />

had been added to the fleet.<br />

The entire fleet transported<br />

500,000 passengers a year.<br />

The separation of classes was<br />

discontinued.<br />

1968<br />

Hurtigruten started an express<br />

route to Spitsbergen in the summer<br />

months.<br />

© Hurtigruten ASA © Hurtigruten ASA<br />

In the late 19th Century, the 1,250 nautical<br />

miles coastline from Bergen to Kirkenes<br />

was a busy route for all sorts of shipping,<br />

from steamers to the single-sailed jakts. But<br />

services were unreliable, infrequent and<br />

rarely sailed at night, making the journey<br />

from north to south a long and arduous<br />

experience. The government wished to<br />

remedy the situation and invited shipping<br />

companies to submit tenders to operate<br />

an express route between Trondheim and<br />

Tromsø/Hammerfest (depending on the<br />

season). It’s worth remembering that in<br />

1893 there were only 28 lighthouses north<br />

of Trondheim, making night-time sailing too<br />

risky and, as such, the two main companies<br />

operating at the time registered complete<br />

disinterest with the project. The owner of<br />

a newly-formed company, however, felt<br />

confident enough to give it a go. This man<br />

was Richard With and his firm Versteraalens<br />

Dampskibsselskab took up the challenge<br />

and made an offer to the state.<br />

In 1893, Captain Richard With’s steamer, DS<br />

Vesteraalen, was brought into service along<br />

the coast of <strong>Norway</strong>, and a regular sea link<br />

was established. The service offered several<br />

weekly departures, first from Trondheim<br />

to Hammerfest and later from Bergen to<br />

Kirkenes in only seven days. He called this<br />

important connection ‘hurtigruten’ (the<br />

fast route).<br />

120 years later, we still carry freight and passengers.<br />

Our captains use their extensive<br />

maritime expertise to ensure that guests<br />

and goods are safely carried from port to<br />

port. Today, as then, the Hurtigruten ships<br />

are a part of Norwegian coastal life. One<br />

of the fleet’s 11 ships departs Bergen daily,<br />

sailing to Kirkenes and back in 12 days at<br />

an average speed of 15 knots.<br />

The new vessels MS Vesterålen,<br />

MS Midnatsol and<br />

MS Narvik replaced older<br />

ships. The Midnatsol was the<br />

first of our ships to have a side<br />

hatch for easier loading and<br />

unloading.<br />

1993<br />

Hurtigruten celebrated its 100th<br />

birthday. Eleven ships were in<br />

regular service permanently.<br />

MS Lofoten (built in 1964)<br />

was given protected status by<br />

the Norwegian Directorate of<br />

Cultural Heritage.<br />

2002<br />

MS Nordnorge sailed to the<br />

Antarctic Peninsula for the<br />

first time. Two new ships, MS<br />

Trollfjord and MS Finnmarken,<br />

commenced their maiden <strong>voyages</strong><br />

along the Norwegian coast.<br />

The new MS Midnatsol was<br />

christened in Hamburg.<br />

2007<br />

The new Hurtigruten expedition<br />

ship, MS Fram, was ceremoniously<br />

christened by Her<br />

Royal Highness Crown Princess<br />

Mette-Marit in Oslo before her<br />

maiden Hurtigruten voyage to<br />

Greenland.<br />

As well as exploring Greenland<br />

and the waters of the Antarctic,<br />

MS Fram started operating<br />

along the coast of Spitsbergen.<br />

The customer loyalty programme<br />

“1893 Ambassador“<br />

was introduced worldwide.<br />

The northbound journey of<br />

MS Nordnorge from Bergen<br />

to Kirkenes from 15 to 22<br />

June was broadcasted live on<br />

Norwegian television. At 134<br />

hours, 42 minutes and 45 seconds<br />

in length, it made it into<br />

the Guinness Book of World<br />

Records as the world’s longest<br />

live broadcast.<br />

scenery of its coastline. It<br />

is always fresh, distinctive<br />

and full of variety.<br />

Our on board cuisine is inspired by both<br />

the traditional dishes available in the regions<br />

and ports we visit and the different<br />

seasons.<br />

Join us in savouring the best the Norwegian<br />

coastline has to offer. Based on the season’s<br />

best ingredients, our chefs create<br />

three-course dinners and lavish buffets.<br />

Being a coastal voyage, seafood is often<br />

on the menu, accompanied with fresh<br />

vegetables and delicately flavoured sauces.<br />

Each dinner ends with traditional desserts,<br />

like home-made cakes, cheesecake and<br />

sorbet. Breakfast and lunch are delicious,<br />

varied buffets.<br />

Our restaurants are fully licensed and the<br />

set dinner at your reserved table quickly<br />

becomes an occasion to exchange your<br />

daily experiences. To accompany each<br />

meal, you can choose from our comprehensive<br />

selection of red and white wines, beer,<br />

spirits and soft drinks. Afterwards you can<br />

enjoy fresh coffee in any of the lounges, or<br />

a drink in one of the bars.

norway – classic <strong>voyages</strong><br />

welcome<br />

to a unique coastal journey<br />

A round voyage from<br />

Bergen to Kirkenes<br />

and back again is the<br />

ultimate voyage with<br />

Hurtigruten.<br />

The following description is of our 12-day<br />

voyage, with many of the highlights and<br />

ports visited.<br />

Northbound journey<br />

DAY 1 Bergen - The Gateway to the<br />

Fjords<br />

The 12-day Classic Round Voyage starts<br />

in Bergen, a city surrounded by seven<br />

mountains. Bergen was founded in 1070<br />

AD, and was the capital of <strong>Norway</strong> for<br />

several years. Today this vibrant city has<br />

retained a great deal of local character<br />

and history. One example of this is the<br />

historic UNESCO-listed Bryggen district<br />

with colourful wharfs that date back to the<br />

14th century. Before sailing from Bergen in<br />

the evening, you may wish to take a stroll<br />

around this charming, compact city. As the<br />

ship starts its northbound journey you can<br />

enjoy the myriad views of islands, small<br />

fishing communities and fjords.<br />

DAY 2 Ålesund - the Art Nouveau City,<br />

Geirangerfjord or Hjørundfjord<br />

If you wake up early the next day you have<br />

the chance to enjoy the breathtaking beauty<br />

of Nordfjord, followed by a delicious<br />

breakfast. As we sail past the West Cape,<br />

we enter open sea for one of the few times<br />

during this voyage. The ship then navigates<br />

through skerries and islands before reaching<br />

Ålesund. This city is renowned for its unique<br />

concentration of Art Nouveau architecture.<br />

From the top of Mount Aksla you can enjoy<br />

an amazing panorama of the area. In the<br />

summer months we set course for the<br />

spectacular UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord<br />

passing sheer, 800m cliffs and impressive<br />

waterfalls en route. In autumn we explore<br />

Hjørundfjord, situated amidst the majestic<br />

Sunnmore Alps. Its seclusion and unspoiled<br />

natural landscape are what give this fjord<br />

its special character. Far from the tourist<br />

bustle, we take passengers past steep rock<br />

walls, green meadows, isolated mountain<br />

farms and small villages.<br />

DAY 3 Trondheim - The medieval capital<br />

of <strong>Norway</strong><br />

In Trondheim you can discover the city’s<br />

secrets by strolling through its charming<br />

streets or sitting by the peaceful harbour.<br />

Be sure to enjoy the views from Gamle<br />

Bybrua (the Old Town Bridge) which dates<br />

back to 1861 and the restored wooden<br />

buildings of the Bakkland district. Nidaros<br />

Cathedral, built between 1070 and 1300,


THE TROLLFJORD<br />

One of the highlights<br />

on a journey with us<br />

is the possible detour<br />

into the magnificent<br />

Trollfjord<br />

© Trym Ivar Bergsmo<br />

is <strong>Norway</strong>’s largest Gothic edifice. In the<br />

afternoon the ship sets a northwest course,<br />

passing the distinct Kjeungskjær lighthouse<br />

and numerous charming islets and rocky<br />

outcrops. After passing through the narrow<br />

Stoksund, the ship arrives in Rørvik.<br />

DAY 4 Arctic Circle and Lofoten Islands<br />

Today we cross the Arctic Circle between<br />

Nesna and Ørnes, marked by a globe on<br />

a small islet. Passengers sailing in Arctic<br />

waters for the first time can participate<br />

in the Arctic Circle ceremony on deck.<br />

After a break at Bodø you can enjoy the<br />

sight of the 1,000m high Lofoten Wall<br />

appearing on the horizon. The charms of<br />

the Lofoten Islands are revealed in all the<br />

small, picturesque fishing villages with their<br />

bohemian atmosphere. Tucked in between<br />

majestic granite cliffs and white sandy<br />

beaches, these islands are an experience<br />

that is out of the ordinary. Stroll between<br />

stockfish racks and ‘rorbuer’, the traditional<br />

fisherman’s huts. Between Stamsund and<br />

Svolvær you can take part in an optional<br />

excursion stepping back in history at the<br />

authentic Lofotr Viking Feast which takes<br />

place in an impressive reconstruction of the<br />

largest Viking house ever found.<br />

DAY 5 Tromsø - Gateway to the Arctic<br />

During the night the ship navigates the narrow<br />

Raftsund strait. After a stop in Harstad,<br />

we continue to Tromsø for a prolonged<br />

stay. Many epic Arctic expeditions used<br />

Tromsø as a starting point. With the presence<br />

of the Norwegian Polar Institute, the<br />

city has cemented its position as the Polar<br />

Capital of <strong>Norway</strong>. ‘Ishavskatedralen’, The<br />

Arctic Cathedral, is the city’s most famous<br />

landmark with its progressive design and<br />

extraordinary stained glass window. The<br />

world’s northernmost university and large<br />

numbers of tourists have created a vibrant<br />

cultural scene and the numerous restaurants<br />

and cafes are always teeming with life.<br />

DAY 6 Honningsvåg and the North Cape<br />

After a brief stop in Hammerfest and<br />

Havøysund we arrive in Honningsvåg, the<br />

gateway to the spectacular North Cape.<br />

The optional excursion to the North Cape<br />

Plateau puts you at 71° 10’ 21”N, only<br />

2,000km from the Geographical North<br />

Pole. Standing atop the 307m North Cape<br />

plateau gives you a sublime feeling of<br />

being at the end of the world. The area is<br />

also known for its birdlife. As we approach<br />

Kjøllefjord this evening, we pass the rock<br />

formation Finnkirka, an ancient sacrificial<br />

site of the area’s indigenous Sámi people.<br />

DAY 7 Kirkenes – the wild and beautiful<br />

northeast<br />

When we arrive in Kirkenes, at 30 ° East, we<br />

are actually further east than Istanbul and<br />

St. Petersburg. The Russian border is close<br />

by, and you may find it intriguing that the<br />

road signs are written in both Norwegian<br />

and Russian. Spending time in Kirkenes<br />

gives you an opportunity to take part in<br />

some of the adventurous activities offered<br />

in this Arctic environment.<br />

DAY 7 Kirkenes - The turning point<br />

As the ship starts its voyage south, you<br />

can first enjoy a delicious lunch followed<br />

by views of arctic wilderness from deck or<br />

the panorama lounge. The ports previously<br />

visited by night on the northbound journey<br />

are now seen by day. In the afternoon the<br />

ship docks in Vardø, <strong>Norway</strong>’s easternmost<br />

port. We continue along the Varanger<br />

peninsula to Båtsfjord before reaching<br />

Berlevåg in the evening.<br />

DAY 8 Hammerfest and North Cape<br />

When we reach Honningsvåg early in the<br />

morning, you can start the day with an<br />

excursion to the North Cape and have<br />

breakfast 1,000ft above the churning<br />

Atlantic Ocean, together with a visit to a<br />

Sámi family. Hammerfest, where signs of<br />

settlement dates back to the Stone Age,<br />

still plays an important role as a fishing<br />

settlement. Here you can also see the<br />

Meridian Column, erected in 1854 to commemorate<br />

the first precise measurement of<br />

the globe - an achievement so important<br />

it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<br />

As we arrive in Tromsø you may choose to<br />

book a seat at the Midnight Concert at the<br />

Arctic Cathedral. Or why not check out one<br />

of the town’s many friendly pubs and try the<br />

local brew, Mack’s Arctic Beer.<br />

DAY 9 Vesterålen, Trollfjord and Lofoten<br />

Islands<br />

The Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands are<br />

on today’s schedule. You’ll pass through<br />

the Risøyrenna, a channel constructed<br />

especially for Hurtigruten providing an<br />

“inside route” between Harstad and<br />

Sortland. In Stokmarknes, where Hurtigruten<br />

was founded, you will find the Hurtigruten<br />

museum. Entry is free for all passengers.<br />

Continuing through the narrow Raftsund,<br />

the captain may choose to take a detour<br />

into the spectacular Trollfjord where steep<br />

cliffs hug the ship’s sides. Then we continue<br />

to Svolvær, the main settlement on the<br />

Lofoten Islands. In addition to beautiful<br />

nature, Lofoten is known for cod fishing. The<br />

season starts in January and lasts through<br />

April. We leave the Lofoten Islands during<br />

the evening and set course for the mainland.<br />

DAY 10 Crossing the Arctic Circle, Seven<br />

Sisters<br />

The Helgeland coast with hundreds of islets,<br />

fertile farmlands and steep mountains<br />

is worth getting up early to experience.<br />

Legends and myths are numerous along<br />

this part of the coast. Crossing the Arctic<br />

Circle again is another important ‘rite of<br />

passage’. We celebrate this with a taste of<br />

our Arctic traditions out on deck. Another<br />

UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vega<br />

Islands, is close to our call in Sandnessjøen<br />

and can be visited on an optional excursion<br />

during summer.<br />

Day 11 Trondheim and cities of the west<br />

coast<br />

Today gives you another opportunity to<br />

explore the city of Trondheim. Passing

to sail, a voyage with Hurtigruten will<br />

let you experience and explore the authentic<br />

coastal <strong>Norway</strong>. The complete<br />

voyage takes 12 days, but we also have<br />

11, 7, and 6-day options.<br />

The Classic Voyage South<br />

Our shortest classic voyage is the 6-day<br />

journey from Kirkenes to Bergen. The highlights<br />

on this journey include the daytime<br />

sailing through the beautiful Vesterålen<br />

and Lofoten Islands, seeing the Seven<br />

Sisters mountain range and the legendary<br />

‘mountain with the hole’, Torghatten.<br />

The Classic Voyage North<br />

This voyage sails the iconic Norwegian<br />

coastline’s sheltered waters from Bergen<br />

towards the Russian border town of<br />

Kirkenes in 7 days. En route you will stop<br />

at 34 ports, some of them big cities and<br />

some just small hamlets. Crossing the<br />

Arctic Circle and the North Cape are also<br />

some of the highlights.<br />

the islands of Munkholmen and Hitra we<br />

then cross the open sea to Molde, which<br />

is also known as the “city of roses” due<br />

to its lush Gulf Stream location. The town<br />

of Kristiansund is regarded as <strong>Norway</strong>’s<br />

“cured cod capital” and has long been the<br />

main export port for this popular salted<br />

dry fish.<br />

DAY 12 Fjords, glacier and Bergen<br />

Make the most of your final impressions<br />

of <strong>Norway</strong> as today we say goodbye. But<br />

before that, you still have a few nautical<br />

miles of fascinating scenery ahead of you<br />

such as the picturesque Nordfjord below<br />

the enormous Jostedal Glacier. A few<br />

nautical miles south of this we navigate<br />

the estuary of the mighty Sognefjord. You<br />

also get the best views of the archipelago<br />

en route. You disembark in Bergen, taking<br />

with you memories of a unique journey.<br />

Day 3 and 11 Trondheim<br />

over<br />

50<br />

excursions and<br />

extensions available<br />

These enlightening and exciting<br />

additions will make your voyage<br />

even more memorable<br />

or visit www.hurtigruten.com<br />

The Classic Norwegian Discovery<br />

This 11-day journey combines many highlights<br />

of the Classic Round Voyage. Starting<br />

in Bergen, you will cross the Arctic Circle<br />

twice, pass the North Cape, visit the turning<br />

point at Kirkenes and disembark in the<br />

medieval city of Trondheim.<br />

A Classic Round Voyage<br />

This is the ultimate voyage with Hurtigruten!<br />

It is a 12-day odyssey covering 2,500 nautical<br />

miles. You will see all of our 34 ports we<br />

visit in daylight (unless you travel in winter,<br />

when there is not much light above the<br />

Arctic Circle at all – the perfect conditions<br />

for seeing the Northern Lights).<br />

A beautiful voyage whatever the season<br />

Each season brings with it new opportunities<br />

to experience a Hurtigruten voyage<br />

in an entirely different light, so to speak.<br />

The on board activities, shore excursions<br />

and delicious, locally sourced cuisine in<br />

our restaurants change to reflect the time<br />

of year and the waters we sail in. On the<br />

next pages you will find descriptions of<br />

the different seasons, highlights and our<br />

seasonal concepts.<br />

the arctic awakening<br />

spring<br />

and the Arctic Awakening<br />

On a spring voyage with us you can experience “The Arctic<br />

Awakening” and three seasons in one journey. There are great<br />

contrasts between the southern and the northern part of<br />

<strong>Norway</strong> at this time of the year. You could travel from a spring/<br />

summer climate in Bergen to full winter in Kirkenes, where you<br />

can still participate in our winter excursions.<br />

The sun works overtime to thaw this frozen<br />

land, rising higher and higher. Each day you<br />

will notice an increase in both daylight hours<br />

and the greenery of the landscape. At the<br />

higher latitudes of the Arctic region, winter<br />

struggles to maintain its grip. Eventually, it<br />

relents although snow-caps still decorate<br />

the mountain tops of the north until the<br />

early summer. The return of the Arctic<br />

summer is like an infusion of vitamins –

In <strong>Norway</strong>, this is a time of celebration and<br />

May witnesses the festivities of Norwegian<br />

National Day. On the 17th May the coastal<br />

communities become a blaze of colour and<br />

tradition, and all our ships take part in the<br />

parades and celebrations.<br />

The Arctic Awakening<br />

Hurtigruten’s spring concept, The Arctic<br />

Awakening, will enrich your voyage with<br />

exciting shore excursions. Join us as we take<br />

you closer to the teeming life in the ocean,<br />

the migratory birds and the local inhabitants<br />

of the small communities.<br />

Highlights on board<br />

In addition to the amazing scenery, we offer<br />

a selection of on board Arctic Awakening<br />

activities. As well as our restaurant tantalising<br />

your taste buds with seasonal, coastal<br />

produce, the ship will also play host to local<br />

fishermen in Tromsø and Kjøllefjord who will<br />

come on board offering you a taste of Lyngen<br />

prawns and a lesson in cod tongue-cutting<br />

respectively! There will also be lectures on<br />

coastal wildlife and a breakfast performance<br />

by a choir in Trondheim.<br />

Summer & the midnight sun<br />

summer<br />

and the midnight sun<br />

Take time to enjoy the wonder of <strong>Norway</strong>’s Midnight Sun on<br />

board one of our ships. Summer is the most popular time of the<br />

year for exploring <strong>Norway</strong>’s coast. Thanks to the light during<br />

the summer months, the whole country bursts into life. Flowers<br />

bloom, rivers fill with fish and waterfalls cascade towards the<br />

ocean creating a picture-perfect setting for a summer holiday.


Under the light of the<br />

summer months, the whole<br />

country explodes into life.<br />

different and you can bask at your leisure<br />

The Midnight Sun<br />

The Land of the Midnight Sun truly lives up<br />

to its name. The intense extended daylight<br />

above the Arctic Circle lasts around the clock,<br />

making every Norwegian ‘night’ a joy to behold.<br />

In fact, you may have to force yourself<br />

to go to bed. This natural phenomenon is<br />

found in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle,<br />

where the sun stays above the horizon for 24<br />

hours. Our summer concept, Summer and the<br />

Midnight Sun, offers specially selected shore<br />

excursions and a menu based on the fresh<br />

ingredients that are found along the coast.<br />

Highlights on board<br />

One of the true highlights of our summer<br />

<strong>voyages</strong> is the northbound diversion into<br />

the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord. Further<br />

north, first time visitors to the Arctic Circle<br />

will be ‘baptised’ by Niord on deck. Shortly<br />

after arriving in the Lofoten Islands, you’ll<br />

have the chance to enjoy a taste of ‘Troll<br />

Soup’ as we sail into the magnificent<br />

Trollfjord. By this point of the voyage, you’ll<br />

also be enjoying the experience of 24-hour<br />

daylight. And throughout your journey, the<br />

chef and his team in the restaurant will be<br />

working their magic with the freshest local<br />

ingredients picked up en route.<br />

Autumn gold<br />

autumn<br />

and the autumn gold<br />

As summer fades and changes to autumn, you can watch the<br />

coastline shift colours from one season to another. Along the<br />

Norwegian shores the clear air strengthens the reds and yellows<br />

that fill the mountainsides, hilltops and woods.<br />

Autumn is a tranquil time on board Hurtigruten;<br />

you get the time to enjoy the bright<br />

colours, the fresh air and the beautiful<br />

scenery we pass. The birds migrate after<br />

a productive summer, and the Arctic light<br />

shortens. From the deck, framed by an icy<br />

blue sky, you can see a sprinkling of early<br />

snow on the highest peaks and there’s a<br />

sense of expectation in the air. Each port<br />

and different parts of the coast give you<br />

the opportunity to experience something<br />

different. The darkness falls gradually as<br />

the sun sets earlier and earlier, and if you<br />

are lucky the Northern Lights will appear<br />

and provide a magical light show.

The autumn gold<br />

Our seasonal concept, Autumn Gold,<br />

includes numerous on board activities and<br />

exciting shore excursions that take you<br />

closer to the cultural life, old traditions and<br />

local inhabitants. The range of berries and<br />

mushrooms in <strong>Norway</strong> is one of the largest<br />

in Europe, and with a little luck you might<br />

just find yellow carpets of chanterelles<br />

and cloudberries. Nature’s pantry is full<br />

of delicacies ready for harvesting, and our<br />

on board menu, activities and excursions<br />

reflect this.<br />

On board highlights<br />

The area around the Hjørundfjord has fascinated<br />

visitors for centuries. We sail into this<br />

narrow fjord surrounded by majestic mountains<br />

and lush, isolated farms. Music is also<br />

a part of the Autumn Gold programme.<br />

Enjoy music by the Norwegian composer<br />

Grieg before departure in Bergen, a mini<br />

concert by the Music Conservatory before<br />

departing Tromsø and between Vadsø<br />

and Kirkenes there will be a performance<br />

hunting the light<br />

Sailing with us provides the<br />

best chances to experience<br />

nature’s magic colour show<br />

winter<br />

and hunting the light<br />

Winter is perhaps the most special time to explore the wild<br />

and untamed Norwegian scenery. The landscape is covered in<br />

virgin snow and the air is fresh, pure and crisp. Clusters of cosy<br />

houses glow on the shores like embers. The stunning backdrop<br />

of snow-clad mountains reflects the polar twilight.<br />

Sailing with Hurtigruten to <strong>Norway</strong>’s northern<br />

reaches, you can experience a magical<br />

winter wonderland and hopefully see the<br />

mesmerising Aurora Borealis. For thousands<br />

of years locals, visitors, artists and<br />

scientists in the northern part of the world<br />

have marvelled at the spectacular displays<br />

that occasionally light up the night sky. Sailing<br />

with Hurtigruten will provide the best<br />

chances of experiencing this magic colour<br />

show as it changes from light green to dark<br />

purple flickering across the Arctic sky.

Hunting the light<br />

Hunting the Aurora Borealis is a major<br />

element of the winter journey with us. In<br />

the winter, the sun is low on the horizon<br />

and north of the Arctic Circle it is below<br />

the horizon for some weeks. This natural<br />

phenomenon creates stunning shades<br />

of light. The term “Hunting the Light”<br />

originates from one of our captains. He had<br />

observed guests out on deck chasing the<br />

most magical of all natural phenomena, the<br />

Northern Lights. “Hunting the Light” is our<br />

seasonal concept on our winter <strong>voyages</strong>,<br />

where you can experience the many and<br />

beautiful types of light visible during the<br />

winter months.<br />

On board highlights<br />

Our excursions, on board activities and<br />

seasonal menu are inspired by winter and<br />

nature’s special light show. You can learn<br />

more about the Aurora Borealis on our two<br />

Northern Lights lectures. There will also be<br />

a lecture about the “King crabs from the<br />

Barents Sea”, held by a local fisherman. We<br />

mark the crossing of the Arctic Circle with a<br />

fun ceremony for any first timers. Being in<br />

the Arctic also improves the chances of seeing<br />

the Northern Lights. At the entrance of<br />

the magnificent Trollfjord we serve freshly<br />

made fish cakes on deck. You can also try<br />

ice dipping in the Barents Sea or participate<br />

in the fish filleting demonstration on<br />

deck. Finnkirka, close to Kjøllefjord, is a<br />

rock formation in the shape of a church.<br />

This old Sámi sacrificial place is illuminated<br />

by 29 strong floodlights, making it an<br />

awesome sight.<br />

Take time to explore Bergen before<br />

departing and leaving your everyday life<br />

behind. It’s time to relax and look forward<br />

to a wonderful journey along the iconic<br />

Norwegian coast. Enjoy the cosy ambience<br />

of life on board and the opportunity to<br />

meet fellow passengers as you take in the<br />

spectacular winter landscape. We navigate<br />

through the skerries and islands, making<br />

several brief night-time calls along the<br />

coastline. When we reach Ålesund, the<br />

town renowned for its beautiful art nouveau<br />

architecture, there is time to explore this<br />

charming town.<br />

The medieval city of Trondheim (Day 3)<br />

Trondheim is home to the impressive<br />

Nidaros Cathedral, Scandinavia’s largest<br />

medieval building. This city is well<br />

worth discovering, and it is easy to do<br />

so by walking. Trondheim was <strong>Norway</strong>’s<br />

first capital. Along the river there are<br />

warehouses built on wooden stilts that are<br />

a colourful contrast to the pure white snow<br />

that usually covers the city during winter.<br />

Arctic Circle and Lofoten Islands (Day 4)<br />

As we cross the Arctic Circle the hunt for<br />

the Northern Lights begins. This occasion<br />

is marked with an Arctic Circle Ceremony<br />

on deck. When we sail through the Lofoten<br />

Islands, you will see why they are renowned<br />

for their beauty. Here you have the chance<br />

to learn more about the Aurora Borealis<br />

and to experience an authentic Lofotr<br />

Viking Feast on an optional excursion. Later<br />

we enter the dramatic and narrow Raftsund.<br />

If the weather and ice conditions allow it,<br />

we also sail to the entrance of the famous<br />

Trollfjord, where you can enjoy freshly<br />

made fishcakes on deck.<br />

Tromsø, The Gateway to the Arctic<br />

(Day 5 and 6)<br />

After a morning stop in Finnsnes, we<br />

continue sailing along the coast until we<br />

arrive in your final port, Tromsø, the Gateway<br />

to the Arctic. Enjoy free time to explore<br />

this charming, compact city or take part<br />

in one of our winter excursions. Perhaps<br />

take the reins of a husky sledge or enjoy<br />

an informative visit to the Polaria Centre.<br />

of seeing the mesmerising Northern Lights.<br />

Reaching Lofoten you can enjoy the stunning<br />

winter’s cloak. We stop at Stokmarknes,<br />

Arctic Wonders<br />

This arctic adventure includes the unique experience of a night in a snow suite at<br />

the Kirkenes Snow Hotel, plus the chance to add some exciting winter activities.<br />

Starting in Bergen and travelling north<br />

you have a chance of seeing the magical<br />

Aurora Borealis as we sail through sheltered<br />

waters towards Kirkenes, high above the<br />

Arctic Circle.<br />

Bergen and the Art Nouveau city of<br />

Ålesund (Day 1)<br />

Board your ship in Bergen, leave your<br />

everyday life behind and enjoy the<br />

ambience of life on board Hurtigruten.<br />

After making several brief night-time<br />

calls along the unspoilt coastline, you<br />

reach the delightful town of Ålesund,<br />

which was completely rebuilt in Art<br />

Nouveau style having been destroyed by<br />

fire in 1904. Here you have the option to<br />

explore this fascinating location on foot.<br />

Leaving Ålesund you head north towards<br />

Trondheim.<br />

The medieval city of Trondheim and<br />

crossing the Arctic Circle (Day 2-4)<br />

Arriving early in Trondheim, you have time<br />

to explore <strong>Norway</strong>’s former capital and<br />

discover its delightful brightly painted<br />

wooden buildings and the impressive 14th<br />

century Nidaros Cathedral. Cross the Arctic<br />

Circle and later on day four you reach the<br />

legendary Lofoten Islands, where you can<br />

take part in the Lofotr Viking Feast excursion<br />

(optional), enjoy an after dinner stroll in<br />

Svolvær or perhaps visit the world’s first Ice<br />

Gallery ‘Magic Ice’, which features chilled<br />

cocktails, dramatically lit ice sculptures and<br />

atmospheric music that illustrate tantalising<br />

tales about the islands and their people.<br />

Gateway to the Arctic and North Cape<br />

(Day 5)<br />

Following a relaxing morning on board<br />

you arrive mid-afternoon in Tromsø, the<br />

Gateway to the Arctic, a great place to<br />

see the Northern Lights and to soak up<br />

life high above the Arctic Circle. This is<br />

also an ideal location to gain a real taste<br />

of the Arctic by joining an optional dog<br />

sledging excursion, a truly exhilarating<br />

and unforgettable experience. Following<br />

an early call at Hammerfest you arrive in<br />

Honningsvåg, the portal to the wonders<br />

of the spectacular North Cape, mainland<br />

Europe’s most northerly point. We will have<br />

an evening call at Kjøllefjord where you can<br />

join the thrilling snowmobile excursion to<br />

Mehamn.<br />

Staying at the Snow Hotel in the high<br />

Arctic (Day 6-8)<br />

The vistas become more dramatic as you<br />

approach Kirkenes, just a few kilometres<br />

from the Russian border and the Sámi<br />

communities of Northern Finland. Transfer<br />

for your special Arctic experience at the<br />

Snow Hotel, constructed entirely from<br />

snow and ice each year and conveniently<br />

located for enjoying Husky dog sledging,<br />

king crab safaris and many other exciting<br />

winter activities. Your stay includes dinner<br />

Fly to Bergen, the Gateway to the Fjords,<br />

and embark. Enjoy the relaxed ambience<br />

of life on board and meet fellow guests<br />

with an interest in astronomy. During the<br />

evening you can take the opportunity to<br />

stargaze on deck as the ship is out at sea<br />

where light pollution is at a minimum.<br />

An early arrival at the art nouveau town<br />

of Ålesund gives you an opportunity to<br />

go ashore and explore this pretty town.<br />

Continuing north we head for the medieval<br />

city of Trondheim whose colourful history<br />

is reflected in its handsome civic architecture.<br />

Throughout the voyage there will be<br />

lectures by Dr John Mason or Ian Ridpath.<br />

Above the Arctic Circle (Day 4-7)<br />

Crossing the Arctic Circle there will be a<br />

great chance to see the magical Northern<br />

Lights. Also, during winter, the sun is below<br />

the horizon for a couple of weeks, giving<br />

the best opportunity to enjoy the starlit<br />

sky. After a stop in Bodø we continue to the<br />

glorious Lofoten Islands and their capital,<br />

Svolvær. A relaxing morning on board<br />

precedes our arrival in Tromsø, northern<br />

<strong>Norway</strong>’s largest city. Here a special visit to<br />

the northern lights Planetarium is included<br />

especially for this tour. After an early call<br />

the following morning at Hammerfest we<br />

arrive in Honningsvåg, the portal to the<br />

wonders of the spectacular North Cape<br />

where you can join our optional excursion.<br />

The Norse myths linked to the stars have<br />

been lost, but the Sámi traditions live on.<br />

Here a great hunting scene represents<br />

the stars, where the constellations are<br />

animals, hunting implements, hunters<br />

or fishermen. After we have passed the<br />

ancient Sámi sacrificial site, Finnkirka, you<br />

can look up and maybe you’ll see Sámi<br />

constellations Sarvvis, Fávdna or Gállá.<br />

Our turning point, Kirkenes, is just a few<br />

kilometres from the Russian border. As<br />

we have a prolonged stay, you can join in<br />

on one of the excursions. Returning south<br />

the northbound ports visited by night are<br />

now seen by day.<br />

Experiencing Northern <strong>Norway</strong><br />

(Day 8-10)<br />

Hammerfest, the world’s most northerly<br />

town, is our first major stop before we<br />

continue to Tromsø. Passing through<br />

the legendary Lofoten islands the ship<br />

negotiates an intricate network of inlets<br />

and isles. This is one of the most beautiful<br />

stretches of the Norwegian coast and for<br />

many it is the most stunning part of the<br />

journey south. After we cross the Arctic<br />

Circle again, we sail past the famed peaks<br />

of the Seven Sisters Mountains as you enter<br />

a world of legends and folklore. The last<br />

call of the day is at Rørvik.<br />

The west coast of <strong>Norway</strong> (Day 11-12)<br />

Our early morning arrival in Trondheim<br />

gives you time to explore the city. A few<br />

nautical miles are left between you and<br />

Bergen today as your Astronomy Voyage<br />

draws to a close. In Bergen there will be a<br />

transfer to the airport for your return flight.<br />

12 days, Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen<br />

voyage of the vikings<br />

The Vikings – a people hell bent on barbaric raiding and pillaging or forwardthinking,<br />

philanthropic tradesmen and explorers?<br />

Join us on a educational voyage of discovery<br />

and find out more about these fascinating<br />

people, their empire and their legacy.<br />

During your 12-day Classic Round Voyage,<br />

British Museum Curator and Viking expert,<br />

Gareth Williams will be giving lectures<br />

on board as well as leading tours and<br />

excursions on land.<br />

As you sail from Bergen to Kirkenes and<br />

back, your on board lecture programme<br />

will include themes such as ‘Who were<br />

the Vikings?’, a socio-economic look at<br />

the Vikings as a people; ‘Viking Treasures’,<br />

a talk about the Viking’s drive for wealth<br />

and fortunes; and ‘Vikings and the ‘North<br />

Way’: The coastal <strong>voyages</strong> of Ottar’, a history<br />

of Ottar, the northern chieftain who<br />

left accounts of his <strong>voyages</strong> north and east<br />

to Russia.<br />

We’ll follow the regular Hurtigruten route,<br />

calling at the old Viking capital, Trondheim.<br />

Here, you will join our Trondheim with<br />

Nidaros Cathedral excursion taking you<br />

under the skin of this charming city and<br />

its magnificent Gothic house of worship.<br />

Founded around 997AD by the Viking King<br />

Olav Tryggvason, Trondheim has grown<br />

to be <strong>Norway</strong>’s second largest city but<br />

has retained the charm and warmth of a<br />

provincial town with its handsome civic<br />

architecture, colourful wooden wharfs and<br />

the wooden royal palace of Stiftsgården.<br />

Nidaros Cathedral is the final resting place<br />

of King Olav who was later canonised and<br />

is now <strong>Norway</strong>’s patron saint.<br />

We’ll also sail through the Lofoten and<br />

Vesterålen Islands, an area rich with sagas<br />

of the Norsemen. It is here that you can<br />

enjoy our Viking Feast excursion (included<br />

in your voyage). Join the chieftain and<br />

his wife in a reconstruction of the largest<br />

Viking longhouse ever discovered. Here<br />

you will be regaled with stories and given<br />

traditional Viking food & drink.<br />

From here, we sail the coastline north to<br />

Kirkenes on the Russian border. En route<br />

we’ll be stopping at the friendly university<br />

town of Tromsø, the world’s northernmost<br />

town, Hammerfest and the gateway to the<br />

North Cape, Honningsvåg.<br />

As we make our way south, a midnight<br />

call in Tromsø allows you the chance to<br />

go ashore and enjoy the spectacle of the<br />

midnight concert at the Arctic Cathedral.<br />

Further down the coast we enjoy a daylight<br />

sailing through the spectacular narrow<br />

channel, the Raftsund, a possible diversion<br />

into the even narrower Trollfjord and<br />

impressive vistas of the Helgeland coast<br />

with the Seven Sisters mountain range.<br />

Extend your stay in Oslo<br />

At the end of your voyage, it is possible to<br />

extend your stay with a visit to <strong>Norway</strong>’s<br />

modern capital, Oslo and enjoy a visit to<br />

their Viking Museum, home to genuine<br />

relics of the Viking age including a full-size<br />

longboat.<br />

Your lecturer on board<br />

Gareth Williams<br />

Gareth Williams studied history at the<br />

universities of St Andrews and Bergen, writing<br />

his PhD on aspects of Viking settlement in<br />

Scotland. Since 1996 he has been a curator at<br />

the British Museum, and he is the lead curator of<br />

a major Viking exhibition at the British Museum<br />

in <strong>2014</strong>. His research covers most aspects of the<br />

Viking Age, with a particular focus on warfare,<br />

and on coinage and other forms of exchange.<br />

He is a regular guest expert on TV and radio<br />

programmes concerning the Anglo-Saxons,<br />

Vikings and Normans, and in addition to extensive<br />

academic publications, his books for<br />

non-specialists include Eirik Bloodaxe, Treasures<br />

from Sutton Hoo, Early Anglo-Saxon Coins, The<br />

Vale of York Hoard (with Barry Ager), Viking Ships<br />

and Viking Britain and Ireland (with Jayne Carroll<br />

and Stephen Harrison). He is currently writing<br />

an academic textbook on Viking warfare and<br />

military organisation.<br />

lectures WILL INCLUDE<br />

Who were the Vikings?<br />

This lecture provides an introduction to the Vikings, looking<br />

at the changing interpretation of the word ‘Viking’ over time,<br />

and providing an overview of Scandinavian society and the<br />

breadth of Scandinavian contacts and achievements in the<br />

Viking Age.<br />

Viking Treasures<br />

Vikings have been seen as both raiders and traders, but<br />

both raiding and trading are driven by the desire for wealth.<br />

This lecture explores the notion of wealth in the Viking Age<br />

on the basis of the gold and silver treasures that they left<br />

behind them, set in their historical context.<br />

Vikings and the ‘North Way’: The coastal <strong>voyages</strong> of Ottar<br />

The modern name <strong>Norway</strong> derives from the Old Norse<br />

words for ‘North Way’, which was used to describe the sailing<br />

route up the west coast. A unique account from the late<br />

9th century describes the lifestyle of Ottar, a chieftain from<br />

northern <strong>Norway</strong>, and his <strong>voyages</strong> round the northern tip of<br />

<strong>Norway</strong> to Russia, and south to the Oslo Fjord and Denmark.<br />

This lecture explores Ottar’s account, and how it fits with<br />

archaeological evidence.<br />

Hurtigruten is a working ship<br />

As with the scenery en route, it is the sheer<br />

variety of sights, sounds, scents and surprises<br />

that make the coastal voyage such a<br />

delight. Many of the inhabitants along the<br />

coast depend on the Hurtigruten ships to<br />

deliver supplies or carry them to the to the<br />

nearest town for shopping, appointments<br />

or to see friends and family. This is what<br />

makes a voyage with Hurtigruten unique:<br />

The fact that it also is a working ship.<br />

Festivals along the Norwegian coast<br />

You can combine a Hurtigruten Voyage<br />

with one of the festivals taking place in<br />

the coastal cities throughout the year, like<br />

the International Film Festival or Northern<br />

Lights Festival in Tromsø, the Barents Spektakel<br />

in Kirkenes, the Narvik Winter Festival,<br />

the Cod-Fishing World Championships<br />

in Svolvær, the International Film Festival<br />

stunning scenery you will see during your<br />

coastal voyage. The Helgeland coast with<br />

hundreds of islets, fertile farmland and<br />

steep granite walls is rich in local lore. Arriving<br />

There are many ways to experience and<br />

explore Spitsbergen’s stunning natural<br />

wonders: on foot, by snowmobile, dog<br />

sledge, kayak or expedition ship. The Gulf<br />

Stream keeps the climate relatively mild,<br />

resulting in a huge variety of Arctic wildlife.<br />

Look out for polar foxes, Svalbard reindeer,<br />

walrus, thousands of seabirds and perhaps<br />

even a polar bear, all in a landscape you<br />

will not find anywhere else.<br />

The informal atmosphere on board is unique to Hurtigruten<br />

Hurtigruten ships come in a variety of sizes,<br />

shapes and ages from the MS Midnatsol<br />

built in 2003, to the traditional vessel MS<br />

Lofoten (1964), still a favourite for many<br />

returning guests. Each ship has a different<br />

style and design, from the on board<br />

art to the ship’s colours and interiors.<br />

Despite their differences, they provide<br />

the same intimate travel experience, with<br />

their own informal Hurtigruten atmosphere.<br />

On board our ships, large, comfortable<br />

lounges provide panoramic views as you<br />

glide silently and slowly through some<br />

of the world’s most beautiful, untouched<br />

scenery. All of our ships have a small library<br />

where you can immerse yourself in a good<br />

book, and a café serving snacks and drinks<br />

24 hours a day. Most ships also have Jacuzzis<br />

out on deck and a fitness room.<br />

MS Trollfjord, MG-grade suite<br />

Your home<br />

on the water<br />

All of our 11 ships have a<br />

wide range of comfortable<br />

cabins. They vary in size<br />

and location, sometimes<br />

within the same grade.<br />

As a general rule, outside<br />

cabins on the higher decks<br />

have a picture window<br />

while the ones on the lower<br />

decks have portholes.<br />

Suites<br />

Choose from our wide range of comfortable<br />

cabins. Suites are graded QJ, Q, M, MG,<br />

and MX and have a seating area with TV.<br />

They have a shower/WC and most have<br />

a double bed* (this may be two single<br />

mattresses set in a double frame which cannot<br />

be separated). Our sales consultants<br />

will be happy to give advice if you would<br />

prefer a bath.<br />

Standard and superior cabins<br />

Cabin grades I, L, J, N, P and U all have<br />

private facilities and twin beds, one of<br />

which can be turned into a sofa. Grades<br />

A, D and some I, J and N have upper<br />

and lower berths and D grades on<br />

MS Lofoten have a wash basin only. **<br />

Special cabins<br />

With the exception of MS Lofoten, all of our<br />

ships have at least one specially equipped<br />

cabin for disabled passengers. Please<br />

contact our reservations department for<br />

further information. Prices for cabins which<br />

can accommodate three or four people are<br />

available on request and inter-connecting<br />

cabins are available on some of our ships.<br />

General information<br />

For your guidance we have indicated those<br />

grades where a few outside cabins have<br />

a restricted or no view, where lifeboats or<br />

safety equipment may obstruct the view<br />

or portholes may be small or ‘tunnelled’.<br />

Please note that for safety reasons, cabins<br />

on lower decks may have covered portholes<br />

during the winter period.<br />

*Cabins QJ 736 and QJ 640 on board MS Midnatsol<br />

and MS Trollfjord + cabins Q529 and Q530 on MS<br />

Finnmarken have separate beds.<br />

**Cabins on deck 5 and 6 might have limited views<br />

due to passengers staying on the deck outside the<br />

cabin window.

Our Ships<br />

MS Midnatsol<br />

The name Midnatsol (Midnight Sun) is<br />

something to live up to, and this ship,<br />

dedicated to the Norwegian summer,<br />

does just that. The interior’s bright,<br />

colourful décor is inspired by the warm<br />

sunny climate, a motif also reflected in<br />

the many pieces of Norwegian modern<br />

art on display. MS Midnatsol was put<br />

into service on 15 April 2003 and is the<br />

fourth Hurtigruten ship to bear this<br />

name. The ship has a strong environmental<br />

profile and a modern design,<br />

with Norwegian materials used extensively<br />

throughout its interiors. Together<br />

with her sister ship, MS Trollfjord,<br />

MS Midnatsol is among the newest<br />

in the fleet. What characterises both<br />

ships is the large, two-storey panorama<br />

lounge above the bow and the large<br />

glass expanses that allow natural light<br />

to enter as well as providing extraordinary<br />

views. There are also 23 beautifully<br />

appointed suites, some of which have<br />

a balcony.<br />

The ship is named after the famous<br />

Trollfjord, situated between the Vesterålen<br />

and the Lofoten Islands. Trollfjord<br />

is one of the highlights of the voyage<br />

south, and is famous locally for “The<br />

battle of the Trollfjord” which took place<br />

here in the winter of 1890. The ship has<br />

a comfortable interior, with an extensive<br />

use of Norwegian wood and stone. MS<br />

Trollfjord´s maiden voyage was in 2002<br />

and she is one of the newest ships in the<br />

Hurtigruten fleet. Being MS Midnatsol´s<br />

sister ship, they share many of the same<br />

characteristics, such as the beautiful<br />

panorama lounge and suites. On board<br />

the ship you will discover original paintings<br />

by the Lofoten artist Kaare Espolin<br />

Johnsen, paintings that were originally<br />

on board the old Hurtigruten ship MS<br />

Harald Jarl.<br />

Our Ships<br />

MS Finnmarken<br />

MS Finnmarken was built in 2002 and<br />

belongs to the same class as MS Trollfjord<br />

and MS Midnatsol. She is the only<br />

ship with both a swimming pool and<br />

Jacuzzis on deck. Another unique<br />

feature of MS Finnmarken is the accessibility<br />

of her bow. On Deck 5, guests<br />

can walk all the way to the front of the<br />

ship. The ship is beautifully appointed<br />

and decorated in an Art Nouveau style.<br />

Nord-Norge is the Norwegian name<br />

for the northern part of <strong>Norway</strong>, mostly<br />

situated inside the Arctic Circle. MS<br />

Nordnorge was built in <strong>Norway</strong> in 1997<br />

and is the third ship in Hurtigruten’s history<br />

to have this name. Between 2002-<br />

2007 MS Nordnorge gave her guests<br />

memorable experiences in Antarctica.<br />

On board MS Nordnorge guests can admire<br />

the work of artists such as Johanne<br />

Marie Hansen-Krone, Ellen Lenvik and<br />

Dagfinn Bakke. The interior décor very<br />

much reflects an Art Nouveau and Art<br />

Deco influence.<br />

MS Nordkapp<br />

MS Nordkapp is named after one of the<br />

highlights of the Hurtigruten voyage,<br />

the northernmost point of mainland<br />

Europe, the North Cape (71ºN). It has<br />

attracted explorers since it was named<br />

by Richard Chancellor who was passing<br />

the cape in 1553 while searching for a<br />

Northeast Passage. The ship was built in<br />

1996, and on board you are surrounded<br />

by artworks from the renowned Norwegian<br />

artist, Karl Erik Harr. MS Nordkapp<br />

is part of the ship class built in the 1990s<br />

and has been upgraded with junior<br />

suites and Jacuzzis. The godmother of<br />

MS Nordkapp is <strong>Norway</strong>’s Queen Sonja.<br />

MS Polarlys was built in 1996, and is the<br />

third ship in Hurtigruten to have this<br />

name. Polarlys is the Norwegian word<br />

for polar light, a name given to the<br />

special Arctic phenomenon we chase<br />

in our winter programme “Hunting<br />

the Light”. MS Polarlys is a stylish ship,<br />

furnished with mahogany panelling,<br />

polished brass, and a choice selection of<br />

Norwegian contemporary art. Together<br />

with the extensive use of wood in the<br />

public areas, this has created a unique<br />

maritime atmosphere.<br />

Our Ships<br />

MS Nordlys<br />

MS Nordlys is named after the spectacular<br />

natural phenomena visible in these<br />

waters between October and March.<br />

Nordlys, is the Norwegian word for the<br />

Northern Lights (or Aurora Borealis)<br />

which appear in the sky of the Northern<br />

Hemisphere as green and sometimes<br />

red waves leaving you with memories<br />

that will last forever. MS Nordlys was<br />

built in 1994 and is the second ship<br />

in Hurtigruten to have this name. The<br />

ship’s art, décor and colours are all<br />

inspired by the Northern Lights phenomenon.<br />

With her light and delicate<br />

interior, Norwegian artists have created<br />

a unique and distinct environment on<br />

board. Passengers are encouraged to<br />

relax in the ship’s elegant maritime<br />

atmosphere, countless lounges and<br />

comfortable reclining chairs.<br />

MS Richard With is named after the<br />

founder of Hurtigruten, Captain Richard<br />

With. His establishment of the<br />

Norwegian Coastal Express back in<br />

1893 had an enormous impact on life<br />

along the Norwegian coast. This ship<br />

was delivered to us in 1993, 100 years<br />

after our founder completed his first<br />

ever Hurtigruten voyage. On board<br />

there is beautiful art by the famous<br />

Harr family. The panorama lounges,<br />

Horisont and Syvstjernen, treat you to<br />

unforgettable views of the surrounding<br />

scenery. There are also Jacuzzis and<br />

eight junior suites on board.<br />

Our Ships<br />

MS Kong Harald<br />

Although this ship is named after today’s<br />

King of <strong>Norway</strong>, Harald, you will find<br />

other famous Norwegians on board<br />

as well. The bar is named after Nobel<br />

Peace Laureate, the Norwegian polar<br />

pioneer Fridtjof Nansen and the café is<br />

named after explorer Roald Amundsen.<br />

As with MS Richard With, MS Kong<br />

Harald was launched in 1993 to mark<br />

Hurtigruten´s centenary. In the ship’s<br />

interior you will see decorative details<br />

of the King’s Crown emblem.<br />

TROLLFJORDEN<br />

MS Vesterålen was built in 1983 and<br />

is named after the first Hurtigruten<br />

ship to sail in 1893, DS Vesteraalen.<br />

Vesterålen is also the name of the area<br />

in which Hurtigruten’s ancestral home,<br />

Stokmarknes, is situated. Vesterålen lies<br />

just north of Lofoten and is home to<br />

some of the most beautiful scenery of<br />

the coastal voyage. The ship is one of<br />

the smallest ships in the fleet. She was<br />

upgraded both in 1988 and 1995, and<br />

is characterised by her bright, cheerful<br />

public areas and lounges. Throughout<br />

your voyage you will enjoy views from<br />

the panorama lounge and notice the<br />

extensive art collection on board.<br />

With the limited passenger capacity,<br />

a voyage on MS Vesterålen is truly<br />

something special.<br />

Our Ships & sailing schedule<br />

MS Lofoten<br />

MS Lofoten, our old time favourite, was<br />

launched in Oslo in 1964 and provides<br />

you with a voyage of real nostalgia<br />

in an intimate, informal atmosphere.<br />

The ship is named after the Lofoten<br />

Islands just north of the Arctic Circle,<br />

famous for their dramatic scenery and<br />

often described as ‘a masterpiece’. MS<br />

Lofoten is the third Hurtigruten ship to<br />

carry this name. She was refurbished<br />

and refitted in 2003, but most of the<br />

original style and atmosphere have<br />

been preserved. With unique lounges<br />

and panoramic decks, this ‘old lady’ is<br />

simply incomparable. The cabins are<br />

plain, but very cosy.<br />

Travel information<br />

CORRESPONDENCE<br />

If you make your booking through a travel<br />

agent, all communication between you and<br />

Hurtigruten must be via that agent.<br />

If you book your holiday direct with us, all<br />

correspondence will be sent to the Lead Passenger.<br />

Please quote your booking reference<br />

number in all communications. When you or<br />

your agent contact us we will usually confirm<br />

your holiday at the earliest opportunity and<br />

advise current flight times, prices, including<br />

any applicable supplements or extras, etc. For<br />

high season dates, when demand is greater, or<br />

if you book within eight weeks of departure, we<br />

may have to request your cabin, flight or hotel<br />

space and it may take slightly longer to confirm<br />

your holiday. An invoice will be sent to confirm<br />

your arrangement. If you are travelling with<br />

friends but would each like to receive separate<br />

documents please advise us at the time of<br />

booking. Travel documents are generally sent<br />

approximately 7–14 days prior to departure.<br />

SPECIAL REQUESTS<br />

If you have any special requests (e.g. dietary<br />

or medical), please inform us at the time of<br />

booking. We will do our best to meet such<br />

requests but cannot guarantee to do so and<br />

in no circumstances will any such request<br />

be accepted by us so as to form part of our<br />

contractual agreement.<br />

MOBILITY<br />

We are happy to welcome passengers who<br />

are not fully mobile and all ships (except MS<br />

Lofoten) have at least one cabin equipped<br />

for travellers using a wheelchair. Our sales<br />

consultants will also try to book appropriate<br />

hotel rooms. Passengers who use a wheelchair<br />

must bring their own, standard size, foldable<br />

chair and travel with a companion who is able<br />

to assist them. In mainland Norwegian ports<br />

there is a ramp for embarkation/disembarkation.<br />

Excursions have not been adapted<br />

specifically for passengers with walking difficulties.<br />

Please contact us or the Tour Leader<br />

when you are on board who will be able to<br />

advise which excursions are suitable. It is essential<br />

you advise us of special requirements<br />

at the time of booking to enable us to make<br />

the necessary arrangements for you.<br />

CHANGES TO THE ITINERARY AND<br />

EXCURSIONS<br />

All routes and excursions are provisional and<br />

subject to change – weather, sea and ice<br />

conditions may affect the itinerary. Excursions<br />

may also be subject to minimum/maximum<br />

numbers. The operators reserve the right to<br />

change the content of excursions without prior<br />

notice. As Christmas approaches itineraries<br />

may change in order for ships to host dinners<br />

and celebrations for local communities.<br />

MINIMUM NUMBERS<br />

Some holidays are subject to a minimum<br />

number of participants to enable them to take<br />

place. Should the minimum not be reached<br />

we will advise you at least 60 days prior to<br />

your departure, when we reserve the right to<br />

cancel the holiday and refund all monies paid<br />

to us. Alternatively, you may choose another<br />

holiday with us but if the alternative arrangement<br />

is at an additional cost, the difference<br />

will be payable by you.<br />

Before you go<br />

Passport and visas<br />

All guests have to present a valid passport<br />

or government approved ID card when they<br />

check-in. Passengers need to contact their<br />

relevant embassy, consulate or travel agent<br />

regarding any necessary visas.<br />

VACCINATIONS<br />

At the time of printing there are no compulsory<br />

vaccinations or health requirements for travelling<br />

to <strong>Norway</strong>. It is however the responsibility<br />

of all passengers to ensure they comply with any<br />

health requirements at the time of travel. We suggest<br />

you consult your doctor or relevant health<br />

authorities about any precautions you should<br />

take with regard to Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).

CURRENCY IN <strong>NORWAY</strong><br />

We suggest that you take a small amount of<br />

local currency (Norwegian Kroner-NOK) in<br />

cash. Major credit cards are widely accepted<br />

except possibly at smaller businesses. You<br />

may be asked to provide identification when<br />

you pay by credit card or exchange money.<br />

BOARD INFORMATION<br />

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION<br />

The standard of the hotels we use is equivalent<br />

to 3 or 4-star. There is no official hotel rating system<br />

in <strong>Norway</strong>. All rooms have private facilities<br />

(except for the Snow Hotel in Kirkenes). Single<br />

rooms may be smaller and less conveniently<br />

situated and may be double rooms for sole<br />

occupancy or purpose built single rooms. Hotels<br />

may charge for some facilities e.g. saunas.<br />

TRANSFERS<br />

Transfers are included as shown and are usually<br />

unaccompanied. They may be operated<br />

by private coach, scheduled airport coach or<br />

General<br />

Brochure Accuracy<br />

The information and descriptions contained in<br />

this brochure have been checked by our staff<br />

and/or local agents to ensure they are correct.<br />

However, changes may occur after the date of<br />

publication and there may be occasions when<br />

Hurtigruten or local suppliers may withdraw<br />

some facilities. Should we become aware of<br />

any significant change which may be considered<br />

to have an effect on the enjoyment of<br />

your holiday we will do our utmost to advise<br />

you. Public holidays and religious festivals may<br />

also affect the availability of resort and hotel<br />

facilities. Tourist offices can provide details<br />

of such events. Some areas we visit are very<br />

remote, affected by prolonged cold weather<br />

or difficult terrain. Provision of facilities will<br />

be subject to local conditions, and customs<br />

and lifestyles may differ from those to which<br />

you are accustomed.<br />

TOUR ARRANGEMENTS<br />

The <strong>voyages</strong> and tours in this brochure are<br />

based on independent travel, however all<br />

ships and many of our featured hotels have<br />

information staff who will advise you on excursions<br />

and offer general assistance. Some<br />

of our holidays are part escorted.<br />

Average daytime temperatures in °C<br />

WILDLIFE<br />

The Hurtigruten brochures include pictures<br />

and descriptions of wildlife, which may be<br />

seen from the ships and during excursions.<br />

Spending time on outside decks increases<br />

your chance of spotting wildlife, but there is<br />

no guarantee of sightings.<br />

ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC<br />

ON BOARD<br />

The emphasis on board is on relaxation<br />

and getting away from the commercial<br />

entertainment which is so often a part of<br />

conventional cruises. Our aim is to get<br />

closer to unique environments and share<br />

the experience with fellow passengers.<br />

As a part of Hurtigruten’s seasonal product<br />

concepts, we offer some interesting<br />

on board activities, demonstrations and<br />

presentations during the <strong>voyages</strong>. The<br />

activities which take place both inside<br />

the vessels and outside on deck, have<br />

relevance to the season we are sailing in.<br />

It is up to individual guests to join and the<br />

activities will be announced in our day to<br />

day programmes or announced on board.<br />

We also offer live bar music playing every<br />

evening on board all ships apart from MS<br />

Lofoten and MS Vesterålen.<br />

GRATUITY POLICY<br />

It is not common practice to tip on<br />

Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage,<br />

but if you feel that individual crew members<br />

should be rewarded for providing<br />

exceptional service this is entirely at your<br />

discretion.<br />

INFORMATION<br />

Each ship has a Tour Leader on board who<br />

sells and gives advice regarding excursions,<br />

issues a daily programme and news bulletin<br />

and makes announcements regarding<br />

places of interest, disembarkation, etc.<br />

Occasionally this service may be carried<br />

out by the reception.<br />

INTERNET<br />

There is an internet café on board all ships<br />

except MS Lofoten. There are wireless<br />

networks in most public areas to connect<br />

laptops, mobile phones etc. Be aware that<br />

the bandwidth is narrow and reception<br />

intermittent.<br />

LANGUAGES<br />

Norwegian and English are the official on<br />

board languages. The personnel at the<br />

reception and some of the service crew<br />

often also speak German. The Tour Leader<br />

speaks Norwegian, English and German.<br />

LAUNDRY<br />

Laundry rooms with washing machines, dryers<br />

and irons are available on most ships.<br />

Tokens can be purchased at reception.<br />

on board information<br />

Our ships carry goods,<br />

vehicles and passengers<br />

between ports, by night<br />

and day, as an integral part<br />

of Norwegian daily life<br />

back in Bergen. The food is Norwegian and<br />

breakfast is buffet style with a selection<br />

of cold meats, cheese, eggs, cereals and<br />

fruit. Lunch is the famous cold table with a<br />

choice of fish dishes, cold meats, salads, a<br />

selection of hot dishes, desserts and fruit.<br />

the evening and the set meal at lunch time.<br />

All vessels are fully licensed; the prices on<br />

board are the same as in mainland <strong>Norway</strong>.<br />

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE<br />

There is no doctor or pharmacy on board.<br />

However, officers are trained in first aid and<br />

can provide emergency medical assistance.<br />

The ships are also close to land.<br />

PORTERAGE<br />

Luggage handling is not included in the<br />

cost of your holiday.<br />

SAFETY<br />

It is a safety requirement that all Hurtigruten<br />

passengers attend a compulsory safety<br />

briefing in Bergen before the ship leaves<br />

port. After check in and before embarkation<br />

please go to the first floor of the terminal<br />

building where the safety briefing will be<br />

given at intervals by Hurtigruten staff. This<br />

will last between 10 – 15 minutes with the<br />

first taking place at 15:45 (embarkation is<br />

from 16:00, also from the first floor). The<br />

talk will include a demonstration of how<br />

to put on a life jacket and the instructions<br />

to be followed in the unlikely event of an<br />

evacuation or other emergency during<br />

the voyage. The briefing is compulsory for<br />

all passengers including those who have<br />

travelled with Hurtigruten on previous<br />

occasions. There will be an opportunity<br />

to ask questions if you have any concerns.<br />

When you have completed the safety<br />

briefing please embark straight away. The<br />

last briefing will take place at 19:30. Guests<br />

who arrive after this time will be required<br />

to attend a safety meeting on board at<br />

20:00 before the ship leaves Bergen. Please<br />

familiarise yourself with the emergency<br />

procedures as shown in the cabins (there is<br />

a diagram on the cabin door and in public<br />

areas), and ask at reception if in doubt.<br />

In many ports there may be a good deal<br />

of activity on the quay with cars joining/<br />

leaving the ships and/or goods being<br />

loaded or unloaded. Please be alert to such<br />

traffic when embarking and disembarking.<br />

Take care during winter months when it is icy<br />

underfoot, particularly on the outside decks<br />

and when disembarking the ship or alighting<br />

from coaches. Do not carry large amounts<br />

of cash and keep valuable items, including<br />

mobile tele-phones and cameras, out of sight.<br />

SHOPS<br />

There is a shop on board all ships. They<br />

sell souvenirs, knitwear, books, postcards,<br />

postage stamps and a limited supply of<br />

toiletries. On MS Lofoten this service is<br />

handled by the cafeteria.<br />

SHORE EXCURSIONS<br />

Pre-booking excursions, where possible,<br />

is recommended as only remaining places<br />

will be sold on board. Excursions booked<br />

on board will be payable in Norwegian<br />

Kroner and the price may vary as a result<br />

areas on the outside decks. It is not<br />

permitted when the ships are in port.<br />

Smoking in the cabin is prohibited and<br />

STABILISERS<br />

With the exception of MS Lofoten our<br />

vessels are equipped with stabilisers. On<br />

the Norwegian coast the ships enter the<br />

open sea, for a few hours, on only a few<br />

occasions during the whole voyage. The<br />

majority of the time the ships sail between<br />

mainland <strong>Norway</strong> and the coastal islands<br />

where the sea is generally calmer.<br />

our ships. They include a welcome present,<br />

tea/coffee making facilities in your cabin,<br />

complimentary free tea/coffee on board<br />

throughout your voyage and late check-out.<br />

For a fee you also have the option to have<br />

breakfast served in your cabin and the use<br />

of a minibar. If there is capacity available<br />

you may book and pay for an upgrade to<br />

a suite when on board.<br />

TELEPHONE/MOBILE PHONES<br />

All ships have pay phones and phone cards<br />

can be purchased from reception. Private<br />

mobile telephones may be used on board<br />

although reception may vary. Check with<br />

your provider for costs when using your<br />

phone abroad.<br />

VALUABLES<br />

There are no safety deposit boxes in the<br />

cabins (exceptions: some suites on board<br />

MS Trollfjord and MS Midnatsol and all<br />

cabins on board MS Finnmarken have<br />

safety deposit boxes). Hurtigruten cannot<br />

accept liability for any loss. Valuables may<br />

be handed in at reception to be kept in<br />

the ship`s safe.<br />

WHAT TO WEAR<br />

On board dress is informal. Although some<br />

passengers choose to change for dinner<br />

the dress code is casual rather than formal.<br />

The weather in <strong>Norway</strong> can vary during<br />

the course of each voyage or even during<br />

the day. To cater for these variations we<br />

recommend the layered dress approach<br />

that enables you to adapt to changes<br />

in temperature, wind and precipitation<br />

conditions easily. For all <strong>voyages</strong> we advise<br />

you to take breathable rain and windproof<br />

clothing. A warm hat, gloves, scarf and<br />

thermal clothing can be useful, together<br />

with thermal underwear, during the winter<br />

months. On land where it may be icy, sturdy<br />

shoes are important for shore excursions<br />

and a walking stick/trekking pole may<br />

be useful. You should pack a pair of UV<br />

protective sunglasses, even during the<br />

winter as the reflections of snow and ice<br />

can be harmful to the unprotected eye.<br />

Many ships offer a Jacuzzi on board, so<br />

take your swimsuit.<br />

WORKING SHIPS<br />

Hurtigruten ships are working vessels<br />

operating a regular service to a set timetable.<br />

Our ships carry goods, vehicles and<br />

passengers between ports, by night and<br />

day, as an integral part of Norwegian daily<br />

life, and call at ports around the clock. You<br />

may expect some noise and vibration in a<br />

few cabins and during docking and loading<br />

of goods. This varies depending on<br />

the location of your cabin and the type of<br />

ship. Also, noise affects people differently<br />

and what may be a problem for one person<br />

may not be a problem for others. Please<br />

ask our reservation team for advice on the<br />

best cabin location for you.<br />

company wholly owned by Hurtigruten ASA,<br />

on the basis of these conditions and the<br />

information contained in the brochure, and<br />

shall be governed by English law and the<br />

jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may<br />

however choose the law and jurisdiction of<br />

Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to<br />

do so. When you book an air package<br />

holiday or sailing with us the contract<br />

between us will exist as soon as you or your<br />

travel agent asks us to confirm your<br />

booking. We then become responsible to<br />

provide you with the voyage arrangements<br />

or air package holiday you have booked<br />

and you become responsible to pay for<br />

them, in each case subject to these terms<br />

and conditions. You will also become<br />

responsible to pay for any additional<br />

arrangements made by us on your behalf<br />

including International Flights not included<br />

in any air package, optional excursions,<br />

travel insurance or other arrangements<br />

requested by you and booked.<br />

When you make a booking you guarantee<br />

you have the authority to accept and do<br />

accept on behalf of your party the terms of<br />

these booking conditions and accept<br />

responsibility for making all payments to us<br />

for all members of the party. We are unable<br />

to accept provisional or conditional<br />

bookings. We will send all documents and<br />

other information to you and you will be<br />

responsible for ensuring that all other<br />

members of the party are kept fully<br />

informed. A confirmation invoice which you<br />

should check as soon as you receive it will<br />

be sent on receipt of your deposit. If you<br />

wish to change or cancel any arrangements<br />

later you may have to pay an amendment or<br />

cancellation charge and additional costs (see<br />

below) which may be as much as the whole<br />

of the original price of your arrangements.<br />

Only one invoice and one set of documents<br />

will be issued. No verbal amendments may<br />

be made by either party to these written<br />

booking conditions; any change must be in<br />

writing signed by the Chief Executive of<br />

Hurtigruten ASA.<br />

If your confirmed arrangements include a<br />

flight, we (or if you booked via an authorised<br />

agent of ours, that agent) will issue you with<br />

an ATOL Certificate and a confirmation.<br />

Upon receipt, if you believe that any details<br />

on the ATOL Certificate or confirmation or<br />

any other document are wrong you must<br />

advise us immediately.<br />

If you book your holiday through a travel<br />

agent all communication must be through<br />

that agent. Please quote your booking<br />

reference number in all communications.<br />

You are responsible for complying with any<br />

visa or other entry requirements for you or<br />

any of your party who are not full European<br />

Union Passport Holders.<br />

2. PAYMENT<br />

Once you have asked us to confirm your<br />

booking the total price of the arrangements<br />

you have booked is due and is payable as<br />

follows:<br />

(i) If you book more than 60 days before<br />

your scheduled departure date a<br />

non-refundable deposit of 20%.<br />

The balance is due 60 days before your<br />

scheduled departure date. No second<br />

invoice will be sent. Travel documents will<br />

be issued 7 to 14 days prior to departure.<br />

(ii) If you book less than 60 days before your<br />

scheduled departure date the full price is<br />

payable when you book. Our preferred<br />

method of deposit payment is by bank debit<br />

card or credit card. Balance payment may be<br />

made by cash, bank debit card, credit card<br />

or cheque (providing there is time to clear it<br />

to meet the payment schedule shown above<br />

– you should allow 5 working days for<br />

clearance from the time we receive it).<br />

Online Bookings<br />

Bookings made online that cost less than<br />

€1,000 or made within 60 days of departure<br />

require full payment at the time of booking<br />

and no refund is made if cancelled.<br />

Credit Card Charges<br />

In line with The Consumer Rights (Payment<br />

Surcharges) Regulations 2012, we will make<br />

a charge of 1.50% for deposits and balances<br />

paid by credit card. Your booking may be<br />

cancelled if we do not receive payment by<br />

the due date (we will not normally send<br />

reminders) and cancellation charges as set<br />

out under “If You Cancel” (see below) will<br />

be payable by you.<br />

3.A PRICES<br />

All Voyage prices shown in this brochure are<br />

in pounds sterling and are per person based<br />

on full occupancy of the cabin accommodation<br />

unless otherwise stated. Single/Sole<br />

occupancy of cabins with more than one<br />

berth is at our discretion as single/sole use of<br />

multiple berth cabins will be limited. The price<br />

of your voyage or air package holiday<br />

arrangements was calculated using exchange<br />

rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to<br />

World Currencies on 08.02.2013, Norwegian<br />

Kroner (NOK) 8.7236; Euros 1.1783. We<br />

reserve the right to change any of the prices<br />

quoted in this brochure although there will be<br />

no change within 30 days of your departure<br />

date. You will be advised of the current price<br />

of the voyage or air package holiday you wish<br />

to book before your contract is confirmed. We<br />

reserve the right to increase or decrease<br />

prices in line with any change in VAT, local and<br />

UK taxes, embarkation/disembarkation fees,<br />

fuel surcharges, exchange rates, security<br />

charges or any fees chargeable for the<br />

services included in the cost of your holiday.<br />

Should it be necessary to make any<br />

surcharges we will notify you of the relevant<br />

adjustments by issuing a new invoice. In any<br />

event we will absorb all such increases<br />

where they form less than 2% of the total<br />

cost of your voyage or air package holiday<br />

(excluding any cancellation or amendment<br />

charges). Only amounts in excess of 2% will<br />

be invoiced to you, together with an<br />

administration charge of €1.00 per person<br />

together with an amount to cover agent’s<br />

commission.<br />

In the event that any surcharge means you<br />

paying in excess of 10% more on the<br />

original cost of your voyage or air package<br />

holiday, you will be entitled to cancel your<br />

trip with a full refund of all monies paid<br />

(except amendment fees). Should you wish<br />

to cancel under these circumstances you<br />

must exercise your right to do so within 14<br />

days from the date of the invoice we send<br />

you showing the increase.<br />

Should the price of your voyage or air<br />

package holiday go down due to changes<br />

above by more than 2% of your holiday cost<br />

then any refund due will be paid to you.<br />

Please note that travel arrangements are not<br />

always purchased in local currency and some<br />

apparent changes have no impact on the<br />

price of your travel due to contractual or<br />

other protection in place.<br />

3.B Voyage and Air Package<br />

Holiday Prices Do Not Include<br />

• Travel Insurance<br />

• Luggage Handling<br />

• International Flights except where<br />

included in the Air Package Holiday Price<br />

• Optional Excursions<br />

• Gratuities<br />

Optional Excursions booked before you<br />

travel or local excursions or other activities<br />

that you may choose to book and pay for<br />

whilst on holiday are not part of your voyage<br />

or air package holiday arrangements<br />

provided by us nor are we agents for the<br />

provider of the service. For any excursion or<br />

other activity you book before departure or<br />

with which you are assisted in arranging<br />

whilst on holiday, your contract will solely be<br />

with the supplier of the excursion or activity<br />

and not with Hurtigruten. We are not<br />

responsible for the provision of your<br />

excursion or activity or for anything that<br />

happens during the course of its provision<br />

by the supplier.<br />

4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING<br />

If you wish to change your travel<br />

arrangements after they have been<br />

confirmed we will do our utmost to help but<br />

it may not always be possible. Any request<br />

for changes to be made must be in writing<br />

by the person who made the booking or<br />

your travel agent. You will be asked to pay<br />

an administration charge of €73 per person<br />

and any further cost we incur in making this<br />

alteration. NB: most airlines will charge a fee<br />

for ticket changes. Costs may increase the<br />

closer to the departure date that changes<br />

are made. For example, the transfer within<br />

60 days of departure of arrangements<br />

involving a scheduled flight will mean the<br />

cancellation and re-booking of this flight and<br />

a significant additional charge.<br />

If you change the number of people in your<br />

party, the price of the arrangements will be<br />

recalculated for the new party size e.g. this<br />

may mean that accommodation is<br />

under-occupied and each member of the<br />

party may have to pay an increased price.<br />

Any increase in price caused by changes you<br />

have requested is not a cancellation charge<br />

even though it may arise because a member<br />

of your party has cancelled. Any change by<br />

you to your confirmed arrangements after<br />

departure is in all cases subject to availability<br />

and any relevant costs.<br />

5. IF YOU CANCEL<br />

You, or any member of your party, may<br />

cancel your travel arrangements at any time.<br />

Written notification from the person who<br />

made the booking or your travel agent must<br />

be received at our offices. We recommend<br />

‘Recorded Delivery’. Cancellation takes<br />

effect the day we receive your letter or<br />

email. Since we incur costs in relation to<br />

your arrangements from the time we confirm<br />

your booking you will have to pay the<br />

applicable cancellation charges as shown in<br />

the table below (which also applies if we<br />

cancel because you have failed to make<br />

payments on time - see “Payment” section)<br />

together with the cost of any air fare for<br />

which we have had to pay at the time of the<br />

booking and will be payable immediately on<br />

cancellation.<br />

When the<br />

cancellation letter<br />

is received by us<br />

before departure<br />

Charges as a % of<br />

the total holiday<br />

28–41 days 60%<br />

If you have to cancel for a reason covered by<br />

your travel insurance you may be able to<br />

reclaim the cancellation charges, less<br />

applicable excess. Insurance premiums are not<br />

refundable.<br />

6. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR<br />

BOOKING<br />

We reserve the right to change any of the<br />

details, and correct any errors in this<br />

brochure or invoices at any time. If changes<br />

are made before you have made your<br />

booking we will advise you before we<br />

confirm your arrangements. We reserve the<br />

right in any circumstances to cancel your<br />

travel arrangements (for example if a<br />

minimum number of participants for a<br />

particular travel arrangement is not reached,<br />

we may have to cancel it) and to change<br />

airline, aircraft types, vessels and itineraries<br />

without liability for any subsequent loss.<br />

Even after we have confirmed your booking<br />

we may have to make alterations but we will<br />

not cancel your travel arrangements less<br />

than 60 days before your departure except<br />

for reasons of force majeure or failure by you<br />

to pay the final balance in full.<br />

Most alterations will be minor and while we<br />

will do our best to notify you or your travel<br />

agent of any changes as soon as reasonably<br />

possible if there is time before your departure,<br />

we will have no other liability to you.<br />

Occasionally we may have to make a<br />

significant change to your confirmed<br />

arrangements.<br />

If we have to make a significant change we<br />

will notify you as soon as possible and you<br />

may either:<br />

(a) accept the change and the contract<br />

between us will then be varied to<br />

incorporate the change; or<br />

(b) take alternative arrangements altogether<br />

(subject to availability). If the alternative<br />

arrangements selected are a lower price<br />

than those originally confirmed the<br />

difference will (if already paid) be refunded<br />

to you.<br />

(c) withdraw from the booking completely in<br />

which case we will as soon as possible,<br />

refund all money paid to us.<br />

Passengers must give notice of their<br />

decision as soon as reasonably possible and<br />

not later than 7 days of being informed of<br />

the alteration.<br />

If you choose (a) or (b) above, you will<br />

receive as compensation a credit towards<br />

the cost of your arrangements, or any<br />

alternative selected, the amount shown in<br />

Scale A below. If you choose (c) we will pay<br />

you compensation shown in Scale B below.<br />

In all cases we will have no liability for any<br />

other or greater compensation or for<br />

expenses or losses incurred.<br />

group bookings<br />

or just a group of friends travelling together we are<br />

As well as offering great value you’ll also benefit from<br />

to ensure your group enjoys a voyage of a lifetime.<br />

*The compensation shown above applies to<br />

full fare paying adults only. Children or others<br />

travelling at concessionary rates will receive<br />

compensation pro rata based on the<br />

concessionary price against the full adult price<br />

as shown on the confirmation.<br />

The above rates do not apply when we are<br />

forced to make changes which cause you to<br />

withdraw or cancel your arrangements, by<br />

reason of unusual and unforeseeable<br />

circumstances beyond our control and which<br />

we could not have avoided by the exercise<br />

of all due care and our only liability will be to<br />

refund, as soon as possible, all money paid<br />

to us by you. We are unable to accept<br />

liability or pay compensation where the<br />

performance or prompt performance of our<br />

contractual obligation is prevented or<br />

affected by reason of circumstances<br />

amounting to “force majeure” i.e. any event<br />

which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s)<br />

could not, even with due care foresee or<br />

avoid. Such events may include, but are not<br />

limited to, war, threat of war or civil<br />

commotions, riots, terrorist activity, industrial<br />

dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse<br />

weather, fire, flood, drought, government<br />

action, airport and port regulations and<br />

closures, technical transportation problems,<br />

maintenance to vessels, scheduling of transport<br />

and similar events outside our control.<br />

A flight or ship delay does not constitute a<br />

change to holiday arrangements.<br />

7. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE<br />

If you have a problem during your holiday<br />

concerning any service we have confirmed<br />

you must inform the local supplier, e.g. your<br />

hotelier, or our local representative or agent<br />

immediately to enable them to try to resolve<br />

the matter. You are also obliged to act in a<br />

way so as to minimise any loss. If the issue is<br />

not resolved locally it is essential you notify<br />

our head office in writing, quoting the<br />

booking reference number, at the earliest<br />

opportunity and no later than 28 days after<br />

your return, to enable any complaint to be<br />

investigated. It is strongly recommended that<br />

you communicate any complaint to the<br />

supplier of the services in question without<br />

delay and obtain a written report. If you fail to<br />

follow this procedure we will have been<br />

deprived of the opportunity to investigate<br />

and rectify your complaint at the time and<br />

this may affect your rights under this<br />

contract. Any accident resulting in personal<br />

injury, loss of, or damage to luggage must<br />

be reported to a ship’s officer or airline<br />

official immediately and written<br />

confirmation obtained. We are unable to<br />

accept liability for the contents of literature,<br />

DVDs, videos or websites produced by our<br />

suppliers/hoteliers.<br />

8. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU<br />

We accept liability for any damage caused<br />

to you or any person in your party by the<br />

failure to perform, or the improper<br />

performance of, the voyage or air package<br />

holiday arrangements when your booking is<br />

confirmed (subject to any changes<br />

subsequently agreed between us) (but<br />

excluding any additional arrangements or<br />

extras whether or not purchased at the same<br />

time as defined in paragraph 4B) unless:<br />

(a) the failures which occur in the<br />

performance of the contract are attributable<br />

to you or some other person in your party;<br />

(b) such failures in performance are<br />

attributable to a third party unconnected<br />

with the provision of the services contracted<br />

for and are unforeseeable and unavoidable<br />

or;<br />

(c) such failures are due to:<br />

(i) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances<br />

beyond our control, the consequences of<br />

which could not have been avoided even if<br />

all due care had been exercised; or<br />

(ii) an event which we, or the supplier of the<br />

services could not foresee or forestall even<br />

with all due care.<br />

Our liability, shall in any event be limited to:<br />

i) the maximum of twice the cost of your<br />

travel arrangements, or<br />

ii) the minimum amount payable in<br />

accordance with and/or in an identical<br />

manner to:<br />

(a) the contractual terms of the companies<br />

that provide the transportation and<br />

accommodation for your travel arrangements,<br />

which are expressly incorporated into<br />

the contract and also form the terms and<br />

conditions of separate contracts between<br />

you and the carrier.<br />

(b) any relevant international conventions,<br />

including the Warsaw Convention 1929,<br />

whether as amended by the Hague Protocol<br />

1955 or the Montreal Protocol 1999, or<br />

otherwise, or the Montreal Convention 1999.<br />

Carriage of passengers and their luggage by<br />

sea is governed by the Athens Convention<br />

1974, and in respect of carriage by rail by the<br />

Berne Convention and in respect of provision<br />

of accommodation by the Paris Convention.<br />

Any action arising out of carriage by air or sea<br />

must be commenced within the two year time<br />

limit prescribed by the Warsaw and Montreal<br />

Conventions or the Athens Convention as<br />

applicable. Legal proceedings for all claims for<br />

which time bars are not stated in international<br />

conventions or are stated in the Norwegian<br />

Maritime Code must be made within one year<br />

from the date on which disembarkation did, or<br />

should have, taken place. The transport of<br />

passengers, baggage and vehicles is subject<br />

to the provisions of the Act. no. 39 of 24 June<br />

1994 Norwegian Maritime Code, as amended,<br />

(“Norwegian Maritime Code”) and package<br />

tours are subject to the provisions of the Act<br />

no. 57 of 25 August 1995 Relating to Package<br />

Tours (“The Package Tours Act).<br />

We are to be regarded as having all benefit<br />

of any limitation of compensation contained<br />

in these, or any other conventions, including<br />

claims for death, injury, delay to passengers<br />

and loss, damage and delay to luggage. You<br />

may ask for copies of the transport<br />

companies’ contractual terms or the<br />

international conventions from our offices at<br />

Bedford House, 69-79 Fulham High Street,<br />

London SW6 3JW.<br />

Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you<br />

have rights in some circumstances to refunds<br />

and/or compensation from your airline in<br />

cases of denied boarding, cancellation or<br />

delay to flights, for which you must pursue<br />

the airline. Reimbursement in such cases will<br />

not automatically entitle you to a refund of<br />

any part of your holiday cost from us. Also,<br />

where a delay may result in entitlement to<br />

cancel a flight this does not automatically<br />

entitle you to cancel or receive a refund for<br />

any other arrangements, even though they<br />

may have been made in conjunction with<br />

your flight.<br />

9. INDEMNITY<br />

When you book arrangements with us you<br />

accept responsibility for the proper conduct<br />

of yourself and your party. If your actions or<br />

omissions cause damage to any property in<br />

the provision of the contracted arrangements,<br />

or cause delay or diversion to any<br />

flight or other means of transportation, you<br />

agree to fully indemnify us against any claim<br />

(including professional fees and legal costs)<br />

made against us by or on behalf of the<br />

owner of such property or the operator of<br />

the flight or other means of transportation.<br />

The Captain of an aircraft or Master of a ship<br />

has authority over the aircraft/ship and<br />

passengers at all times when they are<br />

boarding or on board. There will be no liability<br />

on our part, or that of any supplier, for<br />

any refund, compensation, or costs thus<br />

incurred. Additionally, we will have the right<br />

to recover full costs resulting from the<br />

incident from the passenger.<br />

At any port or place we may refuse to<br />

embark or may disembark any passenger<br />

who, in the opinion of the ship’s authorized<br />

personnel, might be excluded from landing<br />

at further destinations by local authorities or<br />

who may be suffering from any contagious<br />

or infectious disease, or whose presence<br />

may be detrimental to the wellbeing of<br />

passengers or crew. In cases of quarantine of<br />

the ship, or individual passengers<br />

(passengers may be required to remain in<br />

their cabin or as instructed by authorised<br />

personnel on board if they or any other<br />

occupant of the accommodation presents<br />

any symptoms or may be considered to put<br />

other passengers at risk) we will not be liable<br />

for expenses thus caused and in such cases<br />

as above there will be no entitlement to any<br />

refund or compensation and we will have no<br />

liability for costs incurred as a result.<br />

Each passenger warrants that they are fit to<br />

travel.<br />

Hurtigruten reserves the right to require any<br />

passenger to produce evidence of the same<br />

and cannot accept liability for any situation<br />

arising out of a failure to disclose any pre-existing<br />

condition or disability. Passengers with<br />

physical or mental disabilities or other<br />

conditions which may require special<br />

assistance, e.g. use of a wheelchair or scooter,<br />

or service animal, must advise us in writing<br />

before a booking is made. Passengers who<br />

use wheelchairs or who may require special<br />

assistance must be accompanied by someone<br />

who is able to assist them on shore and at sea.<br />

Your specific passport and visa requirements<br />

and other immigration requirements are<br />

your responsibility and you should confirm<br />

these with the relevant Embassies and/or<br />

Consulates. We do not accept responsibility<br />

if you cannot travel because you have not<br />

complied with the latest requirements. If you<br />

have made independent travel arrangements<br />

you accept responsibility for joining<br />

the ship in good time, regardless of any<br />

change to the sailing time or date, or to the<br />

itinerary. We are not able to refund monies<br />

paid to us, or any third party acting on our<br />

or your behalf, or make compensation or<br />

other payments where, for whatever reason,<br />

you fail to join the ship. Passengers going<br />

ashore are responsible for re-boarding the<br />

ship prior to departure from port.<br />

10. INSURANCE<br />

It is a condition of the contract with us that<br />

every member of the booking has travel<br />

insurance in force for the entire duration of<br />

the holiday, covering at least the cancellation<br />

of the booking and providing medical cover<br />

for illness or injury and repatriation while<br />

overseas. Please provide us with the name of<br />

your insurer, together with their 24-hour<br />

emergency number when you book or as<br />

soon as possible.<br />

your travel arrangements run smoothly and<br />

meet your requirements we, Hurtigruten Ltd,<br />

on data protection in your destination may<br />

not be as strong as the legal requirements in<br />

this country. We will not pass any<br />

information on to any person not<br />

arrangements. This applies to any sensitive<br />

information that you give to us such as<br />

details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious<br />

requirements. (If we cannot pass this<br />

information to the relevant suppliers,<br />

whether in the EEA or not, we cannot<br />

provide your booking. In making this<br />

booking, you consent to this information<br />

being passed on to the relevant persons.)<br />

A SELECTION OF OUR<br />

passenger’s BEST PHOTOS<br />

Last year Hurtigruten continued its yearly<br />

photo competition for our guests. We asked<br />

that they capture and share pictures of<br />

favourite memories from their trips. We<br />

received a huge number of excellent photos<br />

depicting the fascinating coast of Europe,<br />

mythical Greenland, awesome Spitsbergen<br />

and the vast expanses of the Antarctic.<br />

Hurtigruten would like to thank all who<br />

participated in the competition!<br />

EUROPE<br />

In line with our Norwegian heritage, we also explore and sail seas far from our own horizon – Spitsbergen,<br />

Greenland, Iceland and Antarctica. Spitsbergen is an untouched wilderness that both excites and amazes.<br />

Greenland has some of the most dramatic nature in the world, and Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest<br />

and cleanest continent on Earth. With us you can visit places that historically most people have never been<br />

able to reach. Join us in untouched lands and pristine waters aboard our newest ship, MS Fram, designed for<br />

sailing the polar regions. Between the Explorer <strong>voyages</strong> in the Antarctic and Arctic areas, MS Fram sails in<br />

Europe every spring and autumn. We journey north and south along the west coast of Europe.<br />
