WELCOME TO HURTIGRUTEN
Join us on a voyage through the calm, sheltered
waters of Norway’s shores, closer to the landscape,
wildlife and inhabitants. Since 1893, our
ships have been a vital link between the cities,
towns and hamlets, carrying local passengers,
freight and guests. For more than 120 years we
have sailed along the coastline, deeper into the
heart of this spectacular landscape than anyone
else. We take you to fjords, waterways and ports
that larger ships cannot reach. There is no better
way to enjoy the truly Norwegian way of life than
on the original Coastal Voyage. Experience the
changing seasons that set the rhythm of life for
local people. Whenever you sail with us, you will
be provided with an ever-changing backdrop to
a journey of matchless wonder.
We wish you a warm welcome on board!

Closer to the Norwegian Coastline
We take you closer
to Norway’s coastline than anyone else
Experience the natural, unspoiled and endless
beauty of the Norwegian coastline on
a Hurtigruten voyage. Norway offers spectacular
scenery and captivating wildlife, and
with us you will get unique views that other
cruise lines cannot offer. Our captains have
sailed this route more than 10,000 times,
and they still look forward to it every time.
Join us as we take you closer than anyone
else to this landscape, the fjords and waterways.
No one knows how to sail these waters
better than us, and we guarantee you
sights, tastes and experiences that you’ll
never forget.

Vardø, our easternmost port.
Its name derives from the
old Norse Vargøy, meaning
‘wolf island’.
© Stein J. Bjørge
As with the scenery en route, it is the sheer variety of sights, sounds, scents and surprises that make the coastal voyage
such a delight. We visit 34 ports, delivering freight and our passengers to places seldom visited by anyone other than
guests travelling with Hurtigruten. With us you can explore these remote communities, from the temperate waters of
the south to the cooler seas above the Arctic Circle.
Hurtigruten vessels have called at many of these ports since
1893 and their punctual arrival is still expected every day, all year
round. Many of our ports of call along the way are little more
than tranquil hamlets on tiny islands. The inhabitants rely on our
ships to bring essential groceries and supplies or to take them
to the nearest town for shopping. Others are long established,
bustling towns, owing their prosperity to the fishing, mining or
shipbuilding industries. At each port you can expect something
different. Explore the smaller ones on foot, by bike (available
for hire from the ship) or stay on board and watch as goods and
passengers leave and join.
At larger ports or during longer stays, you may wish to join one of
the many excursions we offer, ensuring you get to experience the
life, culture and landscape of this spectacular coastline.

The vast variety of the Norwegian landscape, history and
culture reveals itself through our choice of enlightening and
memorable excursions. All of them are offered especially
to enhance the experience you will take with you. Most of
our guides are locals, with expert information about the
area’s geography, culture and history. In addition to their
knowledge, they add a little extra with interesting and funny
anecdotes, making it an extra special experience.
The residents of our ports of call often visit our ships to
enjoy a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. You will also get a
chance to meet the locals that use Hurtigruten as a means
of transportation. The informal atmosphere on board makes
it easy to strike up conversation, and people are genuinely
interested to share experiences and stories. This is one of
the many unique aspects of a Hurtigruten voyage.

The original DS
Vesteraalen arrives
in Svolvær
HISTORY
1898
1925
1937
1952
1893
On 2 July, our first steamship
DS Vesteraalen sailed from
Trondheim, docking in nine
ports along the way, and arriving
in Hammerfest 30 minutes
ahead of schedule on 5 July.
1896
Hurtigruten’s founder, Richard
With, opened a hotel on Spitsbergen,
and the Hurtigruten
“Sportsman’s Route” was put
into operation between
Hammerfest and Svalbard.
The route along the Norwegian
coast was extended to the south
and included Bergen with one
weekly departure.
1908
Kirkenes, near the Russian
border, became the northern
turning point of the coastal
voyage.
1922
The Lofoten and Vesterålen
archipelagos became regular
stops.
DS Dronning Maud was the
first ship of a new generation.
For the first time, cabins had
running water and a separate
ventilation system.
1936
A ship left Bergen every day.
Each year, more than 230,000
passengers travelled onboard
the fleet, which comprised 14
ships.
All Hurtigruten ships were
equipped with a radio transmitter.
1940 – 45
Several ships took over transport
services for the Norwegian
government during the World
War II. 14 ships were destroyed.
1945
The reconstruction of
Hurtigruten after World War II
took the highest priority.
Since 1949, seven new ships
had been added to the fleet.
The entire fleet transported
500,000 passengers a year.
The separation of classes was
discontinued.
1968
Hurtigruten started an express
route to Spitsbergen in the summer
months.

In the late 19th Century, the 1,250 nautical
miles coastline from Bergen to Kirkenes
was a busy route for all sorts of shipping,
from steamers to the single-sailed jakts. But
services were unreliable, infrequent and
rarely sailed at night, making the journey
from north to south a long and arduous
experience. The government wished to
remedy the situation and invited shipping
companies to submit tenders to operate
an express route between Trondheim and
Tromsø/Hammerfest (depending on the
season). It’s worth remembering that in
1893 there were only 28 lighthouses north
of Trondheim, making night-time sailing too
risky and, as such, the two main companies
operating at the time registered complete
disinterest with the project. The owner of
a newly-formed company, however, felt
confident enough to give it a go. This man
was Richard With and his firm Versteraalens
Dampskibsselskab took up the challenge
and made an offer to the state.
In 1893, Captain Richard With’s steamer, DS
Vesteraalen, was brought into service along
the coast of Norway, and a regular sea link
was established. The service offered several
weekly departures, first from Trondheim
to Hammerfest and later from Bergen to
Kirkenes in only seven days. He called this
important connection ‘hurtigruten’ (the
fast route).
120 years later, we still carry freight and passengers.
Our captains use their extensive
maritime expertise to ensure that guests
and goods are safely carried from port to
port. Today, as then, the Hurtigruten ships
are a part of Norwegian coastal life. One
of the fleet’s 11 ships departs Bergen daily,
sailing to Kirkenes and back in 12 days at
an average speed of 15 knots.
1982/1983

2011
The new vessels MS Vesterålen,
MS Midnatsol and
MS Narvik replaced older
ships. The Midnatsol was the
first of our ships to have a side
hatch for easier loading and
unloading.
1993
Hurtigruten celebrated its 100th
birthday. Eleven ships were in
regular service permanently.
MS Lofoten (built in 1964)
was given protected status by
the Norwegian Directorate of
Cultural Heritage.
2002
MS Nordnorge sailed to the
Antarctic Peninsula for the
first time. Two new ships, MS
Trollfjord and MS Finnmarken,
commenced their maiden voyages
along the Norwegian coast.
The new MS Midnatsol was
christened in Hamburg.
2007
The new Hurtigruten expedition
ship, MS Fram, was ceremoniously
christened by Her
Royal Highness Crown Princess
Mette-Marit in Oslo before her
maiden Hurtigruten voyage to
Greenland.
As well as exploring Greenland
and the waters of the Antarctic,
MS Fram started operating
along the coast of Spitsbergen.
The customer loyalty programme
“1893 Ambassador“
was introduced worldwide.
The northbound journey of
MS Nordnorge from Bergen
to Kirkenes from 15 to 22
June was broadcasted live on
Norwegian television. At 134
hours, 42 minutes and 45 seconds
in length, it made it into
the Guinness Book of World
Records as the world’s longest
live broadcast.
2013
Hurtigruten celebrates its
120th anniversary.

delicious on Board cuisine
Enjoy
traditional cuisine
made with seasonal, local produce
Norway’s culinary
traditions have much
in common with the
scenery of its coastline. It
is always fresh, distinctive
and full of variety.
Our on board cuisine is inspired by both
the traditional dishes available in the regions
and ports we visit and the different
seasons.
Join us in savouring the best the Norwegian
coastline has to offer. Based on the season’s
best ingredients, our chefs create
three-course dinners and lavish buffets.
Being a coastal voyage, seafood is often
on the menu, accompanied with fresh
vegetables and delicately flavoured sauces.
Each dinner ends with traditional desserts,
like home-made cakes, cheesecake and
sorbet. Breakfast and lunch are delicious,
varied buffets.
Our restaurants are fully licensed and the
set dinner at your reserved table quickly
becomes an occasion to exchange your
daily experiences. To accompany each
meal, you can choose from our comprehensive
selection of red and white wines, beer,
spirits and soft drinks. Afterwards you can
enjoy fresh coffee in any of the lounges, or
a drink in one of the bars.

norway – classic voyages
welcome
to a unique coastal journey
A round voyage from
Bergen to Kirkenes
and back again is the
ultimate voyage with
Hurtigruten.
The following description is of our 12-day
voyage, with many of the highlights and
ports visited.
Northbound journey
DAY 1 Bergen - The Gateway to the
Fjords
The 12-day Classic Round Voyage starts
in Bergen, a city surrounded by seven
mountains. Bergen was founded in 1070
AD, and was the capital of Norway for
several years. Today this vibrant city has
retained a great deal of local character
and history. One example of this is the
historic UNESCO-listed Bryggen district
with colourful wharfs that date back to the
14th century. Before sailing from Bergen in
the evening, you may wish to take a stroll
around this charming, compact city. As the
ship starts its northbound journey you can
enjoy the myriad views of islands, small
fishing communities and fjords.
DAY 2 Ålesund - the Art Nouveau City,
Geirangerfjord or Hjørundfjord
If you wake up early the next day you have
the chance to enjoy the breathtaking beauty
of Nordfjord, followed by a delicious
breakfast. As we sail past the West Cape,
we enter open sea for one of the few times
during this voyage. The ship then navigates
through skerries and islands before reaching
Ålesund. This city is renowned for its unique
concentration of Art Nouveau architecture.
From the top of Mount Aksla you can enjoy
an amazing panorama of the area. In the
summer months we set course for the
spectacular UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord
passing sheer, 800m cliffs and impressive
waterfalls en route. In autumn we explore
Hjørundfjord, situated amidst the majestic
Sunnmore Alps. Its seclusion and unspoiled
natural landscape are what give this fjord
its special character. Far from the tourist
bustle, we take passengers past steep rock
walls, green meadows, isolated mountain
farms and small villages.
DAY 3 Trondheim - The medieval capital
of Norway
In Trondheim you can discover the city’s
secrets by strolling through its charming
streets or sitting by the peaceful harbour.
Be sure to enjoy the views from Gamle
Bybrua (the Old Town Bridge) which dates
back to 1861 and the restored wooden
buildings of the Bakkland district. Nidaros
Cathedral, built between 1070 and 1300,

THE TROLLFJORD
One of the highlights
on a journey with us
is the possible detour
into the magnificent
Trollfjord

is Norway’s largest Gothic edifice. In the
afternoon the ship sets a northwest course,
passing the distinct Kjeungskjær lighthouse
and numerous charming islets and rocky
outcrops. After passing through the narrow
Stoksund, the ship arrives in Rørvik.
DAY 4 Arctic Circle and Lofoten Islands
Today we cross the Arctic Circle between
Nesna and Ørnes, marked by a globe on
a small islet. Passengers sailing in Arctic
waters for the first time can participate
in the Arctic Circle ceremony on deck.
After a break at Bodø you can enjoy the
sight of the 1,000m high Lofoten Wall
appearing on the horizon. The charms of
the Lofoten Islands are revealed in all the
small, picturesque fishing villages with their
bohemian atmosphere. Tucked in between
majestic granite cliffs and white sandy
beaches, these islands are an experience
that is out of the ordinary. Stroll between
stockfish racks and ‘rorbuer’, the traditional
fisherman’s huts. Between Stamsund and
Svolvær you can take part in an optional
excursion stepping back in history at the
authentic Lofotr Viking Feast which takes
place in an impressive reconstruction of the
largest Viking house ever found.
DAY 5 Tromsø - Gateway to the Arctic
During the night the ship navigates the narrow
Raftsund strait. After a stop in Harstad,
we continue to Tromsø for a prolonged
stay. Many epic Arctic expeditions used
Tromsø as a starting point. With the presence
of the Norwegian Polar Institute, the
city has cemented its position as the Polar
Capital of Norway. ‘Ishavskatedralen’, The
Arctic Cathedral, is the city’s most famous
landmark with its progressive design and
extraordinary stained glass window. The
world’s northernmost university and large
numbers of tourists have created a vibrant
cultural scene and the numerous restaurants
and cafes are always teeming with life.
DAY 6 Honningsvåg and the North Cape
After a brief stop in Hammerfest and
Havøysund we arrive in Honningsvåg, the
gateway to the spectacular North Cape.
The optional excursion to the North Cape
Plateau puts you at 71° 10’ 21”N, only
2,000km from the Geographical North
Pole. Standing atop the 307m North Cape
plateau gives you a sublime feeling of
being at the end of the world. The area is
also known for its birdlife. As we approach
Kjøllefjord this evening, we pass the rock
formation Finnkirka, an ancient sacrificial
site of the area’s indigenous Sámi people.
DAY 7 Kirkenes – the wild and beautiful
northeast
When we arrive in Kirkenes, at 30 ° East, we
are actually further east than Istanbul and
St. Petersburg. The Russian border is close
by, and you may find it intriguing that the
road signs are written in both Norwegian
and Russian. Spending time in Kirkenes
gives you an opportunity to take part in
some of the adventurous activities offered
in this Arctic environment.

DAY 7 Kirkenes - The turning point
As the ship starts its voyage south, you
can first enjoy a delicious lunch followed
by views of arctic wilderness from deck or
the panorama lounge. The ports previously
visited by night on the northbound journey
are now seen by day. In the afternoon the
ship docks in Vardø, Norway’s easternmost
port. We continue along the Varanger
peninsula to Båtsfjord before reaching
Berlevåg in the evening.
DAY 8 Hammerfest and North Cape
When we reach Honningsvåg early in the
morning, you can start the day with an
excursion to the North Cape and have
breakfast 1,000ft above the churning
Atlantic Ocean, together with a visit to a
Sámi family. Hammerfest, where signs of
settlement dates back to the Stone Age,
still plays an important role as a fishing
settlement. Here you can also see the
Meridian Column, erected in 1854 to commemorate
the first precise measurement of
the globe - an achievement so important
it became a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As we arrive in Tromsø you may choose to
book a seat at the Midnight Concert at the
Arctic Cathedral. Or why not check out one
of the town’s many friendly pubs and try the
local brew, Mack’s Arctic Beer.
DAY 9 Vesterålen, Trollfjord and Lofoten
Islands
The Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands are
on today’s schedule. You’ll pass through
the Risøyrenna, a channel constructed
especially for Hurtigruten providing an
“inside route” between Harstad and
Sortland. In Stokmarknes, where Hurtigruten
was founded, you will find the Hurtigruten
museum. Entry is free for all passengers.
Continuing through the narrow Raftsund,
the captain may choose to take a detour
into the spectacular Trollfjord where steep
cliffs hug the ship’s sides. Then we continue
to Svolvær, the main settlement on the
Lofoten Islands. In addition to beautiful
nature, Lofoten is known for cod fishing. The
season starts in January and lasts through
April. We leave the Lofoten Islands during
the evening and set course for the mainland.
DAY 10 Crossing the Arctic Circle, Seven
Sisters
The Helgeland coast with hundreds of islets,
fertile farmlands and steep mountains
is worth getting up early to experience.
Legends and myths are numerous along
this part of the coast. Crossing the Arctic
Circle again is another important ‘rite of
passage’. We celebrate this with a taste of
our Arctic traditions out on deck. Another
UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Vega
Islands, is close to our call in Sandnessjøen
and can be visited on an optional excursion
during summer.

The Classic Voyage South
Our shortest classic voyage is the 6-day
journey from Kirkenes to Bergen. The highlights
on this journey include the daytime
sailing through the beautiful Vesterålen
and Lofoten Islands, seeing the Seven
Sisters mountain range and the legendary
‘mountain with the hole’, Torghatten.
The Classic Voyage North
This voyage sails the iconic Norwegian
coastline’s sheltered waters from Bergen
towards the Russian border town of
Kirkenes in 7 days. En route you will stop
at 34 ports, some of them big cities and
some just small hamlets. Crossing the
Arctic Circle and the North Cape are also
some of the highlights.
the islands of Munkholmen and Hitra we
then cross the open sea to Molde, which
is also known as the “city of roses” due
to its lush Gulf Stream location. The town
of Kristiansund is regarded as Norway’s
“cured cod capital” and has long been the
main export port for this popular salted
dry fish.
DAY 12 Fjords, glacier and Bergen
Make the most of your final impressions
of Norway as today we say goodbye. But
before that, you still have a few nautical
miles of fascinating scenery ahead of you
such as the picturesque Nordfjord below
the enormous Jostedal Glacier. A few
nautical miles south of this we navigate
the estuary of the mighty Sognefjord. You
also get the best views of the archipelago
en route. You disembark in Bergen, taking
with you memories of a unique journey.

The Classic Norwegian Discovery
This 11-day journey combines many highlights
of the Classic Round Voyage. Starting
in Bergen, you will cross the Arctic Circle
twice, pass the North Cape, visit the turning
point at Kirkenes and disembark in the
medieval city of Trondheim.
A Classic Round Voyage
This is the ultimate voyage with Hurtigruten!
It is a 12-day odyssey covering 2,500 nautical
miles. You will see all of our 34 ports we
visit in daylight (unless you travel in winter,
when there is not much light above the
Arctic Circle at all – the perfect conditions
for seeing the Northern Lights).
A beautiful voyage whatever the season
Each season brings with it new opportunities
to experience a Hurtigruten voyage
in an entirely different light, so to speak.
The on board activities, shore excursions
and delicious, locally sourced cuisine in
our restaurants change to reflect the time
of year and the waters we sail in. On the
next pages you will find descriptions of
the different seasons, highlights and our
seasonal concepts.

the arctic awakening
spring
and the Arctic Awakening
On a spring voyage with us you can experience “The Arctic
Awakening” and three seasons in one journey. There are great
contrasts between the southern and the northern part of
Norway at this time of the year. You could travel from a spring/
summer climate in Bergen to full winter in Kirkenes, where you
can still participate in our winter excursions.
The sun works overtime to thaw this frozen
land, rising higher and higher. Each day you
will notice an increase in both daylight hours
and the greenery of the landscape. At the
higher latitudes of the Arctic region, winter
struggles to maintain its grip. Eventually, it
relents although snow-caps still decorate
the mountain tops of the north until the
early summer. The return of the Arctic
summer is like an infusion of vitamins –

North of the Arctic Circle you can still join in on several of our winter excursions
kick-starting the birds, plants and animals
in their breeding, growing and feeding.
We invite all our guests to bear witness to
this spectacle and participate in The Arctic
Awakening!
In Norway, this is a time of celebration and
May witnesses the festivities of Norwegian
National Day. On the 17th May the coastal
communities become a blaze of colour and
tradition, and all our ships take part in the
parades and celebrations.
The Arctic Awakening
Hurtigruten’s spring concept, The Arctic
Awakening, will enrich your voyage with
exciting shore excursions. Join us as we take
you closer to the teeming life in the ocean,
the migratory birds and the local inhabitants
of the small communities.
Highlights on board
In addition to the amazing scenery, we offer
a selection of on board Arctic Awakening
activities. As well as our restaurant tantalising
your taste buds with seasonal, coastal
produce, the ship will also play host to local
fishermen in Tromsø and Kjøllefjord who will
come on board offering you a taste of Lyngen
prawns and a lesson in cod tongue-cutting
respectively! There will also be lectures on
coastal wildlife and a breakfast performance
by a choir in Trondheim.

Summer & the midnight sun
summer
and the midnight sun
Take time to enjoy the wonder of Norway’s Midnight Sun on
board one of our ships. Summer is the most popular time of the
year for exploring Norway’s coast. Thanks to the light during
the summer months, the whole country bursts into life. Flowers
bloom, rivers fill with fish and waterfalls cascade towards the
ocean creating a picture-perfect setting for a summer holiday.

Under the light of the
summer months, the whole
country explodes into life.

At each port you will experience something

the world.
The Midnight Sun
The Land of the Midnight Sun truly lives up
to its name. The intense extended daylight
above the Arctic Circle lasts around the clock,
making every Norwegian ‘night’ a joy to behold.
In fact, you may have to force yourself
to go to bed. This natural phenomenon is
found in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle,
where the sun stays above the horizon for 24
hours. Our summer concept, Summer and the
Midnight Sun, offers specially selected shore
excursions and a menu based on the fresh
ingredients that are found along the coast.
Highlights on board
One of the true highlights of our summer
voyages is the northbound diversion into
the UNESCO-listed Geirangerfjord. Further
north, first time visitors to the Arctic Circle
will be ‘baptised’ by Niord on deck. Shortly
after arriving in the Lofoten Islands, you’ll
have the chance to enjoy a taste of ‘Troll
Soup’ as we sail into the magnificent
Trollfjord. By this point of the voyage, you’ll
also be enjoying the experience of 24-hour
daylight. And throughout your journey, the
chef and his team in the restaurant will be
working their magic with the freshest local
ingredients picked up en route.

Autumn gold
autumn
and the autumn gold
As summer fades and changes to autumn, you can watch the
coastline shift colours from one season to another. Along the
Norwegian shores the clear air strengthens the reds and yellows
that fill the mountainsides, hilltops and woods.
Autumn is a tranquil time on board Hurtigruten;
you get the time to enjoy the bright
colours, the fresh air and the beautiful
scenery we pass. The birds migrate after
a productive summer, and the Arctic light
shortens. From the deck, framed by an icy
blue sky, you can see a sprinkling of early
snow on the highest peaks and there’s a
sense of expectation in the air. Each port
and different parts of the coast give you
the opportunity to experience something
different. The darkness falls gradually as
the sun sets earlier and earlier, and if you
are lucky the Northern Lights will appear
and provide a magical light show.

The autumn gold
Our seasonal concept, Autumn Gold,
includes numerous on board activities and
exciting shore excursions that take you
closer to the cultural life, old traditions and
local inhabitants. The range of berries and
mushrooms in Norway is one of the largest
in Europe, and with a little luck you might
just find yellow carpets of chanterelles
and cloudberries. Nature’s pantry is full
of delicacies ready for harvesting, and our
on board menu, activities and excursions
reflect this.
On board highlights
The area around the Hjørundfjord has fascinated
visitors for centuries. We sail into this
narrow fjord surrounded by majestic mountains
and lush, isolated farms. Music is also
a part of the Autumn Gold programme.
Enjoy music by the Norwegian composer
Grieg before departure in Bergen, a mini
concert by the Music Conservatory before
departing Tromsø and between Vadsø
and Kirkenes there will be a performance
of Sámi-inspired music. Autumn is harvest
time all over Norway, and you get a chance
to taste local specialties like reindeer meat
and cloudberries on deck. Our seasonal
menu offers the best produce from the
season and the areas we sail in.

hunting the light
Sailing with us provides the
best chances to experience
nature’s magic colour show
winter
and hunting the light
Winter is perhaps the most special time to explore the wild
and untamed Norwegian scenery. The landscape is covered in
virgin snow and the air is fresh, pure and crisp. Clusters of cosy
houses glow on the shores like embers. The stunning backdrop
of snow-clad mountains reflects the polar twilight.
Sailing with Hurtigruten to Norway’s northern
reaches, you can experience a magical
winter wonderland and hopefully see the
mesmerising Aurora Borealis. For thousands
of years locals, visitors, artists and
scientists in the northern part of the world
have marvelled at the spectacular displays
that occasionally light up the night sky. Sailing
with Hurtigruten will provide the best
chances of experiencing this magic colour
show as it changes from light green to dark
purple flickering across the Arctic sky.

Hunting the light
Hunting the Aurora Borealis is a major
element of the winter journey with us. In
the winter, the sun is low on the horizon
and north of the Arctic Circle it is below
the horizon for some weeks. This natural
phenomenon creates stunning shades
of light. The term “Hunting the Light”
originates from one of our captains. He had
observed guests out on deck chasing the
most magical of all natural phenomena, the
Northern Lights. “Hunting the Light” is our
seasonal concept on our winter voyages,
where you can experience the many and
beautiful types of light visible during the
winter months.
On board highlights
Our excursions, on board activities and
seasonal menu are inspired by winter and
nature’s special light show. You can learn
more about the Aurora Borealis on our two
Northern Lights lectures. There will also be
a lecture about the “King crabs from the
Barents Sea”, held by a local fisherman. We
mark the crossing of the Arctic Circle with a
fun ceremony for any first timers. Being in
the Arctic also improves the chances of seeing
the Northern Lights. At the entrance of
the magnificent Trollfjord we serve freshly
made fish cakes on deck. You can also try
ice dipping in the Barents Sea or participate
in the fish filleting demonstration on
deck. Finnkirka, close to Kjøllefjord, is a
rock formation in the shape of a church.
This old Sámi sacrificial place is illuminated
by 29 strong floodlights, making it an
awesome sight.

to a wonderful journey along the iconic
Norwegian coast. Enjoy the cosy ambience
of life on board and the opportunity to
meet fellow passengers as you take in the
spectacular winter landscape. We navigate
through the skerries and islands, making
several brief night-time calls along the
coastline. When we reach Ålesund, the
town renowned for its beautiful art nouveau
architecture, there is time to explore this
charming town.
The medieval city of Trondheim (Day 3)
Trondheim is home to the impressive
Nidaros Cathedral, Scandinavia’s largest
medieval building. This city is well
worth discovering, and it is easy to do
so by walking. Trondheim was Norway’s
first capital. Along the river there are
warehouses built on wooden stilts that are
a colourful contrast to the pure white snow
that usually covers the city during winter.
Arctic Circle and Lofoten Islands (Day 4)
As we cross the Arctic Circle the hunt for
the Northern Lights begins. This occasion
is marked with an Arctic Circle Ceremony
on deck. When we sail through the Lofoten
Islands, you will see why they are renowned
for their beauty. Here you have the chance
to learn more about the Aurora Borealis
and to experience an authentic Lofotr
Viking Feast on an optional excursion. Later
we enter the dramatic and narrow Raftsund.
If the weather and ice conditions allow it,
we also sail to the entrance of the famous
Trollfjord, where you can enjoy freshly
made fishcakes on deck.
Tromsø, The Gateway to the Arctic
(Day 5 and 6)
After a morning stop in Finnsnes, we
continue sailing along the coast until we
arrive in your final port, Tromsø, the Gateway
to the Arctic. Enjoy free time to explore
this charming, compact city or take part
in one of our winter excursions. Perhaps
take the reins of a husky sledge or enjoy
an informative visit to the Polaria Centre.

walls. This part of the coast is known for
its legends and folklore.

buildings. Later, on our way to Kristiansund,
you can see the steep, pointed and snowcovered
peaks of the Romsdal Alps. The
journey with Hurtigruten comes to an end
in Bergen, but before we reach the finish
line there are still a few nautical miles of
fascinating winter scenery ahead of us.

8 days, Bergen-Kirkenes incl. Snow Hotel
Arctic Wonders
This arctic adventure includes the unique experience of a night in a snow suite at
the Kirkenes Snow Hotel, plus the chance to add some exciting winter activities.
Starting in Bergen and travelling north
you have a chance of seeing the magical
Aurora Borealis as we sail through sheltered
waters towards Kirkenes, high above the
Arctic Circle.
Bergen and the Art Nouveau city of
Ålesund (Day 1)
Board your ship in Bergen, leave your
everyday life behind and enjoy the
ambience of life on board Hurtigruten.
After making several brief night-time
calls along the unspoilt coastline, you
reach the delightful town of Ålesund,
which was completely rebuilt in Art
Nouveau style having been destroyed by
fire in 1904. Here you have the option to
explore this fascinating location on foot.
Leaving Ålesund you head north towards
Trondheim.
The medieval city of Trondheim and
crossing the Arctic Circle (Day 2-4)
Arriving early in Trondheim, you have time
to explore Norway’s former capital and
discover its delightful brightly painted
wooden buildings and the impressive 14th
century Nidaros Cathedral. Cross the Arctic
Circle and later on day four you reach the
legendary Lofoten Islands, where you can
take part in the Lofotr Viking Feast excursion
(optional), enjoy an after dinner stroll in
Svolvær or perhaps visit the world’s first Ice
Gallery ‘Magic Ice’, which features chilled
cocktails, dramatically lit ice sculptures and
atmospheric music that illustrate tantalising
tales about the islands and their people.
Gateway to the Arctic and North Cape
(Day 5)
Following a relaxing morning on board
you arrive mid-afternoon in Tromsø, the
Gateway to the Arctic, a great place to
see the Northern Lights and to soak up
life high above the Arctic Circle. This is
also an ideal location to gain a real taste
of the Arctic by joining an optional dog
sledging excursion, a truly exhilarating
and unforgettable experience. Following
an early call at Hammerfest you arrive in
Honningsvåg, the portal to the wonders
of the spectacular North Cape, mainland
Europe’s most northerly point. We will have
an evening call at Kjøllefjord where you can
join the thrilling snowmobile excursion to
Mehamn.
Staying at the Snow Hotel in the high
Arctic (Day 6-8)
The vistas become more dramatic as you
approach Kirkenes, just a few kilometres
from the Russian border and the Sámi
communities of Northern Finland. Transfer
for your special Arctic experience at the
Snow Hotel, constructed entirely from
snow and ice each year and conveniently
located for enjoying Husky dog sledging,
king crab safaris and many other exciting
winter activities. Your stay includes dinner
by the open fire at the Gabba Restaurant.
After a night in the Snow Hotel warm up in
the sauna before breakfast and your return
to the UK via Oslo.

12 days voyage, Bergen – Kirkenes – Bergen
Astronomy voyage
Join this popular voyage to learn more about the arctic night sky and the greatest
lightshow on Earth, the Aurora Borealis.
We are delighted to offer 6 dates for our
Astronomy Voyage this year accompanied
by the renowned astronomers Dr John
Mason and Ian Ridpath, and hopefully
the Northern Lights. Through a series of
lectures and guided tours of the night
sky from the deck of the ship, the world
of stars, planets and meteors will be
brought closer and stories will be told of
the numerous myths and legends linked to
the constellations in our skies.
The cities of the west coast (Day 1-4)
Fly to Bergen, the Gateway to the Fjords,
and embark. Enjoy the relaxed ambience
of life on board and meet fellow guests
with an interest in astronomy. During the
evening you can take the opportunity to
stargaze on deck as the ship is out at sea
where light pollution is at a minimum.
An early arrival at the art nouveau town
of Ålesund gives you an opportunity to
go ashore and explore this pretty town.
Continuing north we head for the medieval
city of Trondheim whose colourful history
is reflected in its handsome civic architecture.
Throughout the voyage there will be
lectures by Dr John Mason or Ian Ridpath.
Above the Arctic Circle (Day 4-7)
Crossing the Arctic Circle there will be a
great chance to see the magical Northern
Lights. Also, during winter, the sun is below
the horizon for a couple of weeks, giving
the best opportunity to enjoy the starlit
sky. After a stop in Bodø we continue to the
glorious Lofoten Islands and their capital,
Svolvær. A relaxing morning on board
precedes our arrival in Tromsø, northern
Norway’s largest city. Here a special visit to
the northern lights Planetarium is included
especially for this tour. After an early call
the following morning at Hammerfest we
arrive in Honningsvåg, the portal to the
wonders of the spectacular North Cape
where you can join our optional excursion.
The Norse myths linked to the stars have
been lost, but the Sámi traditions live on.
Here a great hunting scene represents
the stars, where the constellations are
animals, hunting implements, hunters
or fishermen. After we have passed the
ancient Sámi sacrificial site, Finnkirka, you
can look up and maybe you’ll see Sámi
constellations Sarvvis, Fávdna or Gállá.
Our turning point, Kirkenes, is just a few
kilometres from the Russian border. As
we have a prolonged stay, you can join in
on one of the excursions. Returning south
the northbound ports visited by night are
now seen by day.
Experiencing Northern Norway
(Day 8-10)
Hammerfest, the world’s most northerly
town, is our first major stop before we
continue to Tromsø. Passing through
the legendary Lofoten islands the ship
negotiates an intricate network of inlets
and isles. This is one of the most beautiful
stretches of the Norwegian coast and for
many it is the most stunning part of the
journey south. After we cross the Arctic
Circle again, we sail past the famed peaks
of the Seven Sisters Mountains as you enter
a world of legends and folklore. The last
call of the day is at Rørvik.
The west coast of Norway (Day 11-12)
Our early morning arrival in Trondheim
gives you time to explore the city. A few
nautical miles are left between you and
Bergen today as your Astronomy Voyage
draws to a close. In Bergen there will be a
transfer to the airport for your return flight.

12 days, Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen
voyage of the vikings
The Vikings – a people hell bent on barbaric raiding and pillaging or forwardthinking,
philanthropic tradesmen and explorers?
Join us on a educational voyage of discovery
and find out more about these fascinating
people, their empire and their legacy.
During your 12-day Classic Round Voyage,
British Museum Curator and Viking expert,
Gareth Williams will be giving lectures
on board as well as leading tours and
excursions on land.
As you sail from Bergen to Kirkenes and
back, your on board lecture programme
will include themes such as ‘Who were
the Vikings?’, a socio-economic look at
the Vikings as a people; ‘Viking Treasures’,
a talk about the Viking’s drive for wealth
and fortunes; and ‘Vikings and the ‘North
Way’: The coastal voyages of Ottar’, a history
of Ottar, the northern chieftain who
left accounts of his voyages north and east
to Russia.
We’ll follow the regular Hurtigruten route,
calling at the old Viking capital, Trondheim.
Here, you will join our Trondheim with
Nidaros Cathedral excursion taking you
under the skin of this charming city and
its magnificent Gothic house of worship.
Founded around 997AD by the Viking King
Olav Tryggvason, Trondheim has grown
to be Norway’s second largest city but
has retained the charm and warmth of a
provincial town with its handsome civic
architecture, colourful wooden wharfs and
the wooden royal palace of Stiftsgården.
Nidaros Cathedral is the final resting place
of King Olav who was later canonised and
is now Norway’s patron saint.
We’ll also sail through the Lofoten and
Vesterålen Islands, an area rich with sagas
of the Norsemen. It is here that you can
enjoy our Viking Feast excursion (included
in your voyage). Join the chieftain and
his wife in a reconstruction of the largest
Viking longhouse ever discovered. Here
you will be regaled with stories and given
traditional Viking food & drink.
From here, we sail the coastline north to
Kirkenes on the Russian border. En route
we’ll be stopping at the friendly university
town of Tromsø, the world’s northernmost
town, Hammerfest and the gateway to the
North Cape, Honningsvåg.
As we make our way south, a midnight
call in Tromsø allows you the chance to
go ashore and enjoy the spectacle of the
midnight concert at the Arctic Cathedral.
Further down the coast we enjoy a daylight
sailing through the spectacular narrow
channel, the Raftsund, a possible diversion
into the even narrower Trollfjord and
impressive vistas of the Helgeland coast
with the Seven Sisters mountain range.
Extend your stay in Oslo
At the end of your voyage, it is possible to
extend your stay with a visit to Norway’s
modern capital, Oslo and enjoy a visit to
their Viking Museum, home to genuine
relics of the Viking age including a full-size
longboat.

Your lecturer on board
Gareth Williams
Gareth Williams studied history at the
universities of St Andrews and Bergen, writing
his PhD on aspects of Viking settlement in
Scotland. Since 1996 he has been a curator at
the British Museum, and he is the lead curator of
a major Viking exhibition at the British Museum
in 2014. His research covers most aspects of the
Viking Age, with a particular focus on warfare,
and on coinage and other forms of exchange.
He is a regular guest expert on TV and radio
programmes concerning the Anglo-Saxons,
Vikings and Normans, and in addition to extensive
academic publications, his books for
non-specialists include Eirik Bloodaxe, Treasures
from Sutton Hoo, Early Anglo-Saxon Coins, The
Vale of York Hoard (with Barry Ager), Viking Ships
and Viking Britain and Ireland (with Jayne Carroll
and Stephen Harrison). He is currently writing
an academic textbook on Viking warfare and
military organisation.
lectures WILL INCLUDE
Who were the Vikings?
This lecture provides an introduction to the Vikings, looking
at the changing interpretation of the word ‘Viking’ over time,
and providing an overview of Scandinavian society and the
breadth of Scandinavian contacts and achievements in the
Viking Age.
Viking Treasures
Vikings have been seen as both raiders and traders, but
both raiding and trading are driven by the desire for wealth.
This lecture explores the notion of wealth in the Viking Age
on the basis of the gold and silver treasures that they left
behind them, set in their historical context.
Vikings and the ‘North Way’: The coastal voyages of Ottar
The modern name Norway derives from the Old Norse
words for ‘North Way’, which was used to describe the sailing
route up the west coast. A unique account from the late
9th century describes the lifestyle of Ottar, a chieftain from
northern Norway, and his voyages round the northern tip of
Norway to Russia, and south to the Oslo Fjord and Denmark.
This lecture explores Ottar’s account, and how it fits with
archaeological evidence.

that make the coastal voyage such a
delight. Many of the inhabitants along the
coast depend on the Hurtigruten ships to
deliver supplies or carry them to the to the
nearest town for shopping, appointments

makes a voyage with Hurtigruten unique:
The fact that it also is a working ship.

Our Ships
Our ships are designed
to take our guests closer
to the beautiful nature
Comfortable ships
with an informal atmosphere

Each of our ships has
a different style and
design, creating its very
own travel experience

The informal atmosphere on board is unique to Hurtigruten
Hurtigruten ships come in a variety of sizes,
shapes and ages from the MS Midnatsol
built in 2003, to the traditional vessel MS
Lofoten (1964), still a favourite for many
returning guests. Each ship has a different
style and design, from the on board
art to the ship’s colours and interiors.
Despite their differences, they provide
the same intimate travel experience, with
their own informal Hurtigruten atmosphere.
On board our ships, large, comfortable
lounges provide panoramic views as you
glide silently and slowly through some
of the world’s most beautiful, untouched
scenery. All of our ships have a small library
where you can immerse yourself in a good
book, and a café serving snacks and drinks
24 hours a day. Most ships also have Jacuzzis
out on deck and a fitness room.

MS Trollfjord, MG-grade suite
Your home
on the water
All of our 11 ships have a
wide range of comfortable
cabins. They vary in size
and location, sometimes
within the same grade.
As a general rule, outside
cabins on the higher decks
have a picture window
while the ones on the lower
decks have portholes.
Suites
Choose from our wide range of comfortable
cabins. Suites are graded QJ, Q, M, MG,
and MX and have a seating area with TV.
They have a shower/WC and most have
a double bed* (this may be two single
mattresses set in a double frame which cannot
be separated). Our sales consultants
will be happy to give advice if you would
prefer a bath.
Standard and superior cabins
Cabin grades I, L, J, N, P and U all have
private facilities and twin beds, one of
which can be turned into a sofa. Grades
A, D and some I, J and N have upper
and lower berths and D grades on
MS Lofoten have a wash basin only. **
Special cabins
With the exception of MS Lofoten, all of our
ships have at least one specially equipped
cabin for disabled passengers. Please
contact our reservations department for
further information. Prices for cabins which
can accommodate three or four people are
available on request and inter-connecting
cabins are available on some of our ships.
General information
For your guidance we have indicated those
grades where a few outside cabins have
a restricted or no view, where lifeboats or
safety equipment may obstruct the view
or portholes may be small or ‘tunnelled’.
Please note that for safety reasons, cabins
on lower decks may have covered portholes
during the winter period.
*Cabins QJ 736 and QJ 640 on board MS Midnatsol
and MS Trollfjord + cabins Q529 and Q530 on MS
Finnmarken have separate beds.
**Cabins on deck 5 and 6 might have limited views
due to passengers staying on the deck outside the
cabin window.

Our Ships
MS Midnatsol
The name Midnatsol (Midnight Sun) is
something to live up to, and this ship,
dedicated to the Norwegian summer,
does just that. The interior’s bright,
colourful décor is inspired by the warm
sunny climate, a motif also reflected in
the many pieces of Norwegian modern
art on display. MS Midnatsol was put
into service on 15 April 2003 and is the
fourth Hurtigruten ship to bear this
name. The ship has a strong environmental
profile and a modern design,
with Norwegian materials used extensively
throughout its interiors. Together
with her sister ship, MS Trollfjord,
MS Midnatsol is among the newest
in the fleet. What characterises both
ships is the large, two-storey panorama
lounge above the bow and the large
glass expanses that allow natural light
to enter as well as providing extraordinary
views. There are also 23 beautifully
appointed suites, some of which have
a balcony.

The ship is named after the famous
Trollfjord, situated between the Vesterålen
and the Lofoten Islands. Trollfjord
is one of the highlights of the voyage
south, and is famous locally for “The
battle of the Trollfjord” which took place
here in the winter of 1890. The ship has
a comfortable interior, with an extensive
use of Norwegian wood and stone. MS
Trollfjord´s maiden voyage was in 2002
and she is one of the newest ships in the
Hurtigruten fleet. Being MS Midnatsol´s
sister ship, they share many of the same
characteristics, such as the beautiful
panorama lounge and suites. On board
the ship you will discover original paintings
by the Lofoten artist Kaare Espolin
Johnsen, paintings that were originally
on board the old Hurtigruten ship MS
Harald Jarl.

Our Ships
MS Finnmarken
MS Finnmarken was built in 2002 and
belongs to the same class as MS Trollfjord
and MS Midnatsol. She is the only
ship with both a swimming pool and
Jacuzzis on deck. Another unique
feature of MS Finnmarken is the accessibility
of her bow. On Deck 5, guests
can walk all the way to the front of the
ship. The ship is beautifully appointed
and decorated in an Art Nouveau style.

Nord-Norge is the Norwegian name
for the northern part of Norway, mostly
situated inside the Arctic Circle. MS
Nordnorge was built in Norway in 1997
and is the third ship in Hurtigruten’s history
to have this name. Between 2002-
2007 MS Nordnorge gave her guests
memorable experiences in Antarctica.
On board MS Nordnorge guests can admire
the work of artists such as Johanne
Marie Hansen-Krone, Ellen Lenvik and
Dagfinn Bakke. The interior décor very
much reflects an Art Nouveau and Art
Deco influence.

Our Ships
MS Nordkapp
MS Nordkapp is named after one of the
highlights of the Hurtigruten voyage,
the northernmost point of mainland
Europe, the North Cape (71ºN). It has
attracted explorers since it was named
by Richard Chancellor who was passing
the cape in 1553 while searching for a
Northeast Passage. The ship was built in
1996, and on board you are surrounded
by artworks from the renowned Norwegian
artist, Karl Erik Harr. MS Nordkapp
is part of the ship class built in the 1990s
and has been upgraded with junior
suites and Jacuzzis. The godmother of
MS Nordkapp is Norway’s Queen Sonja.

MS Polarlys was built in 1996, and is the
third ship in Hurtigruten to have this
name. Polarlys is the Norwegian word
for polar light, a name given to the
special Arctic phenomenon we chase
in our winter programme “Hunting
the Light”. MS Polarlys is a stylish ship,
furnished with mahogany panelling,
polished brass, and a choice selection of
Norwegian contemporary art. Together
with the extensive use of wood in the
public areas, this has created a unique
maritime atmosphere.

MS Nordlys
MS Nordlys is named after the spectacular
natural phenomena visible in these
waters between October and March.
Nordlys, is the Norwegian word for the
Northern Lights (or Aurora Borealis)
which appear in the sky of the Northern
Hemisphere as green and sometimes
red waves leaving you with memories
that will last forever. MS Nordlys was
built in 1994 and is the second ship
in Hurtigruten to have this name. The
ship’s art, décor and colours are all
inspired by the Northern Lights phenomenon.
With her light and delicate
interior, Norwegian artists have created
a unique and distinct environment on
board. Passengers are encouraged to
relax in the ship’s elegant maritime
atmosphere, countless lounges and
comfortable reclining chairs.

MS Richard With is named after the
founder of Hurtigruten, Captain Richard
With. His establishment of the
Norwegian Coastal Express back in
1893 had an enormous impact on life
along the Norwegian coast. This ship
was delivered to us in 1993, 100 years
after our founder completed his first
ever Hurtigruten voyage. On board
there is beautiful art by the famous
Harr family. The panorama lounges,
Horisont and Syvstjernen, treat you to
unforgettable views of the surrounding
scenery. There are also Jacuzzis and
eight junior suites on board.

MS Vesterålen was built in 1983 and
is named after the first Hurtigruten
ship to sail in 1893, DS Vesteraalen.
Vesterålen is also the name of the area
in which Hurtigruten’s ancestral home,
Stokmarknes, is situated. Vesterålen lies
just north of Lofoten and is home to
some of the most beautiful scenery of
the coastal voyage. The ship is one of
the smallest ships in the fleet. She was
upgraded both in 1988 and 1995, and
is characterised by her bright, cheerful
public areas and lounges. Throughout
your voyage you will enjoy views from
the panorama lounge and notice the
extensive art collection on board.
With the limited passenger capacity,
a voyage on MS Vesterålen is truly
something special.

Our Ships & sailing schedule
MS Lofoten
MS Lofoten, our old time favourite, was
launched in Oslo in 1964 and provides
you with a voyage of real nostalgia
in an intimate, informal atmosphere.
The ship is named after the Lofoten
Islands just north of the Arctic Circle,
famous for their dramatic scenery and
often described as ‘a masterpiece’. MS
Lofoten is the third Hurtigruten ship to
carry this name. She was refurbished
and refitted in 2003, but most of the
original style and atmosphere have
been preserved. With unique lounges
and panoramic decks, this ‘old lady’ is
simply incomparable. The cabins are
plain, but very cosy.

Travel information
CORRESPONDENCE
If you make your booking through a travel
agent, all communication between you and
Hurtigruten must be via that agent.
If you book your holiday direct with us, all
correspondence will be sent to the Lead Passenger.
Please quote your booking reference
number in all communications. When you or
your agent contact us we will usually confirm
your holiday at the earliest opportunity and
advise current flight times, prices, including
any applicable supplements or extras, etc. For
high season dates, when demand is greater, or
if you book within eight weeks of departure, we
may have to request your cabin, flight or hotel
space and it may take slightly longer to confirm
your holiday. An invoice will be sent to confirm
your arrangement. If you are travelling with
friends but would each like to receive separate
documents please advise us at the time of
booking. Travel documents are generally sent
approximately 7–14 days prior to departure.
SPECIAL REQUESTS
If you have any special requests (e.g. dietary
or medical), please inform us at the time of
booking. We will do our best to meet such
requests but cannot guarantee to do so and
in no circumstances will any such request
be accepted by us so as to form part of our
contractual agreement.
MOBILITY
We are happy to welcome passengers who
are not fully mobile and all ships (except MS
Lofoten) have at least one cabin equipped
for travellers using a wheelchair. Our sales
consultants will also try to book appropriate

chair and travel with a companion who is able
to assist them. In mainland Norwegian ports
there is a ramp for embarkation/disembarkation.
Excursions have not been adapted
specifically for passengers with walking difficulties.
Please contact us or the Tour Leader
when you are on board who will be able to
advise which excursions are suitable. It is essential
you advise us of special requirements

EXCURSIONS
All routes and excursions are provisional and
subject to change – weather, sea and ice
conditions may affect the itinerary. Excursions
may also be subject to minimum/maximum
numbers. The operators reserve the right to
change the content of excursions without prior
notice. As Christmas approaches itineraries
may change in order for ships to host dinners
and celebrations for local communities.
MINIMUM NUMBERS
Some holidays are subject to a minimum
number of participants to enable them to take
place. Should the minimum not be reached
we will advise you at least 60 days prior to
your departure, when we reserve the right to
cancel the holiday and refund all monies paid
to us. Alternatively, you may choose another
holiday with us but if the alternative arrangement
is at an additional cost, the difference
will be payable by you.

or government approved ID card when they
check-in. Passengers need to contact their

ENTERTAINMENT AND MUSIC
ON BOARD
The emphasis on board is on relaxation
and getting away from the commercial
entertainment which is so often a part of
conventional cruises. Our aim is to get
closer to unique environments and share
the experience with fellow passengers.
As a part of Hurtigruten’s seasonal product
concepts, we offer some interesting
on board activities, demonstrations and
presentations during the voyages. The
activities which take place both inside
the vessels and outside on deck, have
relevance to the season we are sailing in.
It is up to individual guests to join and the
activities will be announced in our day to
day programmes or announced on board.
We also offer live bar music playing every
evening on board all ships apart from MS
Lofoten and MS Vesterålen.
GRATUITY POLICY
It is not common practice to tip on
Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage,
but if you feel that individual crew members
should be rewarded for providing
exceptional service this is entirely at your
discretion.
INFORMATION
Each ship has a Tour Leader on board who
sells and gives advice regarding excursions,
issues a daily programme and news bulletin
and makes announcements regarding
places of interest, disembarkation, etc.
Occasionally this service may be carried
out by the reception.
INTERNET
There is an internet café on board all ships
except MS Lofoten. There are wireless
networks in most public areas to connect
laptops, mobile phones etc. Be aware that
the bandwidth is narrow and reception
intermittent.

on board information
Our ships carry goods,
vehicles and passengers
between ports, by night
and day, as an integral part
of Norwegian daily life
back in Bergen. The food is Norwegian and
breakfast is buffet style with a selection
of cold meats, cheese, eggs, cereals and
fruit. Lunch is the famous cold table with a
choice of fish dishes, cold meats, salads, a
selection of hot dishes, desserts and fruit.

However, officers are trained in first aid and
can provide emergency medical assistance.
The ships are also close to land.
PORTERAGE
Luggage handling is not included in the
cost of your holiday.
SAFETY
It is a safety requirement that all Hurtigruten
passengers attend a compulsory safety
briefing in Bergen before the ship leaves
port. After check in and before embarkation
please go to the first floor of the terminal
building where the safety briefing will be
given at intervals by Hurtigruten staff. This
will last between 10 – 15 minutes with the
first taking place at 15:45 (embarkation is
from 16:00, also from the first floor). The
talk will include a demonstration of how
to put on a life jacket and the instructions
to be followed in the unlikely event of an
evacuation or other emergency during
the voyage. The briefing is compulsory for
all passengers including those who have
travelled with Hurtigruten on previous
occasions. There will be an opportunity
to ask questions if you have any concerns.
When you have completed the safety
briefing please embark straight away. The
last briefing will take place at 19:30. Guests
who arrive after this time will be required
to attend a safety meeting on board at
20:00 before the ship leaves Bergen. Please
familiarise yourself with the emergency
procedures as shown in the cabins (there is
a diagram on the cabin door and in public
areas), and ask at reception if in doubt.
In many ports there may be a good deal
of activity on the quay with cars joining/
leaving the ships and/or goods being
loaded or unloaded. Please be alert to such
traffic when embarking and disembarking.
Take care during winter months when it is icy
underfoot, particularly on the outside decks
and when disembarking the ship or alighting
from coaches. Do not carry large amounts
of cash and keep valuable items, including
mobile tele-phones and cameras, out of sight.
SHOPS
There is a shop on board all ships. They
sell souvenirs, knitwear, books, postcards,
postage stamps and a limited supply of
toiletries. On MS Lofoten this service is
handled by the cafeteria.
SHORE EXCURSIONS
Pre-booking excursions, where possible,
is recommended as only remaining places
will be sold on board. Excursions booked
on board will be payable in Norwegian
Kroner and the price may vary as a result
of exchange rate fluctuations. Pre-booking
of shore excursions is possible until
4 weeks prior to departure. If you choose
to pay by credit card, pre-bookings can
be made until 2 weeks prior to departure.
Please bring your driving licence if you
have pre booked or are planning to go on
any of the snowmobile or ATV excursions.
Excursions and their contents are subject
to maximum/minimum numbers, sailing
times and weather and/or local conditions.

areas on the outside decks. It is not
permitted when the ships are in port.
Smoking in the cabin is prohibited and
subject to a fine.
STABILISERS

vessels are equipped with stabilisers. On
the Norwegian coast the ships enter the
open sea, for a few hours, on only a few
occasions during the whole voyage. The
majority of the time the ships sail between
mainland Norway and the coastal islands
where the sea is generally calmer.

our ships. They include a welcome present,
tea/coffee making facilities in your cabin,
complimentary free tea/coffee on board
throughout your voyage and late check-out.
For a fee you also have the option to have
breakfast served in your cabin and the use
of a minibar. If there is capacity available
you may book and pay for an upgrade to
a suite when on board.
TELEPHONE/MOBILE PHONES
All ships have pay phones and phone cards
can be purchased from reception. Private
mobile telephones may be used on board
although reception may vary. Check with
your provider for costs when using your
phone abroad.
VALUABLES
There are no safety deposit boxes in the
cabins (exceptions: some suites on board
MS Trollfjord and MS Midnatsol and all
cabins on board MS Finnmarken have
safety deposit boxes). Hurtigruten cannot
accept liability for any loss. Valuables may
be handed in at reception to be kept in
the ship`s safe.
WHAT TO WEAR
On board dress is informal. Although some
passengers choose to change for dinner
the dress code is casual rather than formal.
The weather in Norway can vary during
the course of each voyage or even during
the day. To cater for these variations we
recommend the layered dress approach
that enables you to adapt to changes
in temperature, wind and precipitation

conditions easily. For all voyages we advise
you to take breathable rain and windproof
clothing. A warm hat, gloves, scarf and
thermal clothing can be useful, together
with thermal underwear, during the winter
months. On land where it may be icy, sturdy
shoes are important for shore excursions
and a walking stick/trekking pole may
be useful. You should pack a pair of UV
protective sunglasses, even during the
winter as the reflections of snow and ice
can be harmful to the unprotected eye.
Many ships offer a Jacuzzi on board, so
take your swimsuit.
WORKING SHIPS
Hurtigruten ships are working vessels
operating a regular service to a set timetable.
Our ships carry goods, vehicles and
passengers between ports, by night and
day, as an integral part of Norwegian daily
life, and call at ports around the clock. You
may expect some noise and vibration in a
few cabins and during docking and loading
of goods. This varies depending on
the location of your cabin and the type of
ship. Also, noise affects people differently
and what may be a problem for one person
may not be a problem for others. Please
ask our reservation team for advice on the
best cabin location for you.

company wholly owned by Hurtigruten ASA,
on the basis of these conditions and the
information contained in the brochure, and
shall be governed by English law and the
jurisdiction of the English Courts. You may
however choose the law and jurisdiction of
Scotland or Northern Ireland if you wish to
do so. When you book an air package
holiday or sailing with us the contract
between us will exist as soon as you or your
travel agent asks us to confirm your
booking. We then become responsible to
provide you with the voyage arrangements
or air package holiday you have booked
and you become responsible to pay for
them, in each case subject to these terms
and conditions. You will also become
responsible to pay for any additional
arrangements made by us on your behalf
including International Flights not included
in any air package, optional excursions,
travel insurance or other arrangements
requested by you and booked.
When you make a booking you guarantee
you have the authority to accept and do
accept on behalf of your party the terms of
these booking conditions and accept
responsibility for making all payments to us
for all members of the party. We are unable
to accept provisional or conditional
bookings. We will send all documents and
other information to you and you will be
responsible for ensuring that all other
members of the party are kept fully
informed. A confirmation invoice which you
should check as soon as you receive it will
be sent on receipt of your deposit. If you
wish to change or cancel any arrangements
later you may have to pay an amendment or
cancellation charge and additional costs (see
below) which may be as much as the whole
of the original price of your arrangements.
Only one invoice and one set of documents
will be issued. No verbal amendments may
be made by either party to these written
booking conditions; any change must be in
writing signed by the Chief Executive of
Hurtigruten ASA.
If your confirmed arrangements include a
flight, we (or if you booked via an authorised
agent of ours, that agent) will issue you with
an ATOL Certificate and a confirmation.
Upon receipt, if you believe that any details
on the ATOL Certificate or confirmation or
any other document are wrong you must
advise us immediately.
If you book your holiday through a travel
agent all communication must be through
that agent. Please quote your booking
reference number in all communications.
You are responsible for complying with any
visa or other entry requirements for you or
any of your party who are not full European
Union Passport Holders.
2. PAYMENT
Once you have asked us to confirm your
booking the total price of the arrangements
you have booked is due and is payable as
follows:
(i) If you book more than 60 days before
your scheduled departure date a
non-refundable deposit of 20%.
The balance is due 60 days before your
scheduled departure date. No second
invoice will be sent. Travel documents will
be issued 7 to 14 days prior to departure.
(ii) If you book less than 60 days before your
scheduled departure date the full price is
payable when you book. Our preferred
method of deposit payment is by bank debit
card or credit card. Balance payment may be
made by cash, bank debit card, credit card
or cheque (providing there is time to clear it
to meet the payment schedule shown above
– you should allow 5 working days for
clearance from the time we receive it).
Online Bookings
Bookings made online that cost less than
€1,000 or made within 60 days of departure
require full payment at the time of booking
and no refund is made if cancelled.
Credit Card Charges
In line with The Consumer Rights (Payment
Surcharges) Regulations 2012, we will make
a charge of 1.50% for deposits and balances
paid by credit card. Your booking may be
cancelled if we do not receive payment by
the due date (we will not normally send
reminders) and cancellation charges as set
out under “If You Cancel” (see below) will
be payable by you.
3.A PRICES
All Voyage prices shown in this brochure are
in pounds sterling and are per person based
on full occupancy of the cabin accommodation
unless otherwise stated. Single/Sole
occupancy of cabins with more than one
berth is at our discretion as single/sole use of
multiple berth cabins will be limited. The price
of your voyage or air package holiday
arrangements was calculated using exchange
rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to
World Currencies on 08.02.2013, Norwegian
Kroner (NOK) 8.7236; Euros 1.1783. We
reserve the right to change any of the prices
quoted in this brochure although there will be
no change within 30 days of your departure
date. You will be advised of the current price
of the voyage or air package holiday you wish
to book before your contract is confirmed. We
reserve the right to increase or decrease
prices in line with any change in VAT, local and
UK taxes, embarkation/disembarkation fees,
fuel surcharges, exchange rates, security
charges or any fees chargeable for the
services included in the cost of your holiday.
Should it be necessary to make any
surcharges we will notify you of the relevant
adjustments by issuing a new invoice. In any
event we will absorb all such increases
where they form less than 2% of the total
cost of your voyage or air package holiday
(excluding any cancellation or amendment
charges). Only amounts in excess of 2% will
be invoiced to you, together with an
administration charge of €1.00 per person
together with an amount to cover agent’s
commission.
In the event that any surcharge means you
paying in excess of 10% more on the
original cost of your voyage or air package
holiday, you will be entitled to cancel your
trip with a full refund of all monies paid
(except amendment fees). Should you wish
to cancel under these circumstances you
must exercise your right to do so within 14
days from the date of the invoice we send
you showing the increase.
Should the price of your voyage or air
package holiday go down due to changes
above by more than 2% of your holiday cost
then any refund due will be paid to you.
Please note that travel arrangements are not
always purchased in local currency and some
apparent changes have no impact on the
price of your travel due to contractual or
other protection in place.
3.B Voyage and Air Package
Holiday Prices Do Not Include
• Travel Insurance
• Luggage Handling
• International Flights except where
included in the Air Package Holiday Price
• Optional Excursions
• Gratuities
Optional Excursions booked before you
travel or local excursions or other activities
that you may choose to book and pay for
whilst on holiday are not part of your voyage
or air package holiday arrangements
provided by us nor are we agents for the
provider of the service. For any excursion or
other activity you book before departure or
with which you are assisted in arranging
whilst on holiday, your contract will solely be
with the supplier of the excursion or activity
and not with Hurtigruten. We are not
responsible for the provision of your
excursion or activity or for anything that
happens during the course of its provision
by the supplier.
4. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING
If you wish to change your travel
arrangements after they have been
confirmed we will do our utmost to help but
it may not always be possible. Any request
for changes to be made must be in writing
by the person who made the booking or
your travel agent. You will be asked to pay
an administration charge of €73 per person
and any further cost we incur in making this
alteration. NB: most airlines will charge a fee
for ticket changes. Costs may increase the
closer to the departure date that changes
are made. For example, the transfer within
60 days of departure of arrangements
involving a scheduled flight will mean the
cancellation and re-booking of this flight and
a significant additional charge.
If you change the number of people in your
party, the price of the arrangements will be
recalculated for the new party size e.g. this
may mean that accommodation is
under-occupied and each member of the
party may have to pay an increased price.
Any increase in price caused by changes you
have requested is not a cancellation charge
even though it may arise because a member
of your party has cancelled. Any change by
you to your confirmed arrangements after
departure is in all cases subject to availability
and any relevant costs.
5. IF YOU CANCEL
You, or any member of your party, may
cancel your travel arrangements at any time.
Written notification from the person who
made the booking or your travel agent must
be received at our offices. We recommend
‘Recorded Delivery’. Cancellation takes
effect the day we receive your letter or
email. Since we incur costs in relation to
your arrangements from the time we confirm
your booking you will have to pay the
applicable cancellation charges as shown in
the table below (which also applies if we
cancel because you have failed to make
payments on time - see “Payment” section)
together with the cost of any air fare for
which we have had to pay at the time of the
booking and will be payable immediately on
cancellation.

cancellation letter

the total holiday

28–41 days 60%
14–27 days 90%
Less than 14 days 100%
If you have to cancel for a reason covered by
your travel insurance you may be able to
reclaim the cancellation charges, less
applicable excess. Insurance premiums are not
refundable.
6. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR
BOOKING
We reserve the right to change any of the
details, and correct any errors in this
brochure or invoices at any time. If changes
are made before you have made your
booking we will advise you before we
confirm your arrangements. We reserve the
right in any circumstances to cancel your
travel arrangements (for example if a
minimum number of participants for a
particular travel arrangement is not reached,
we may have to cancel it) and to change
airline, aircraft types, vessels and itineraries
without liability for any subsequent loss.
Even after we have confirmed your booking
we may have to make alterations but we will
not cancel your travel arrangements less
than 60 days before your departure except
for reasons of force majeure or failure by you
to pay the final balance in full.
Most alterations will be minor and while we
will do our best to notify you or your travel
agent of any changes as soon as reasonably
possible if there is time before your departure,
we will have no other liability to you.
Occasionally we may have to make a
significant change to your confirmed
arrangements.
If we have to make a significant change we
will notify you as soon as possible and you
may either:
(a) accept the change and the contract
between us will then be varied to
incorporate the change; or
(b) take alternative arrangements altogether
(subject to availability). If the alternative
arrangements selected are a lower price
than those originally confirmed the
difference will (if already paid) be refunded
to you.
(c) withdraw from the booking completely in
which case we will as soon as possible,
refund all money paid to us.
Passengers must give notice of their
decision as soon as reasonably possible and
not later than 7 days of being informed of
the alteration.
If you choose (a) or (b) above, you will
receive as compensation a credit towards
the cost of your arrangements, or any
alternative selected, the amount shown in
Scale A below. If you choose (c) we will pay
you compensation shown in Scale B below.
In all cases we will have no liability for any
other or greater compensation or for
expenses or losses incurred.

*The compensation shown above applies to
full fare paying adults only. Children or others
travelling at concessionary rates will receive
compensation pro rata based on the

as shown on the confirmation.
The above rates do not apply when we are
forced to make changes which cause you to
withdraw or cancel your arrangements, by
reason of unusual and unforeseeable
circumstances beyond our control and which
we could not have avoided by the exercise
of all due care and our only liability will be to
refund, as soon as possible, all money paid
to us by you. We are unable to accept
liability or pay compensation where the
performance or prompt performance of our
contractual obligation is prevented or
affected by reason of circumstances
amounting to “force majeure” i.e. any event
which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s)
could not, even with due care foresee or
avoid. Such events may include, but are not
limited to, war, threat of war or civil
commotions, riots, terrorist activity, industrial
dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse
weather, fire, flood, drought, government
action, airport and port regulations and
closures, technical transportation problems,
maintenance to vessels, scheduling of transport
and similar events outside our control.
A flight or ship delay does not constitute a
change to holiday arrangements.
7. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
If you have a problem during your holiday
concerning any service we have confirmed
you must inform the local supplier, e.g. your
hotelier, or our local representative or agent
immediately to enable them to try to resolve
the matter. You are also obliged to act in a
way so as to minimise any loss. If the issue is
not resolved locally it is essential you notify
our head office in writing, quoting the
booking reference number, at the earliest
opportunity and no later than 28 days after
your return, to enable any complaint to be
investigated. It is strongly recommended that
you communicate any complaint to the
supplier of the services in question without
delay and obtain a written report. If you fail to
follow this procedure we will have been
deprived of the opportunity to investigate
and rectify your complaint at the time and
this may affect your rights under this
contract. Any accident resulting in personal
injury, loss of, or damage to luggage must
be reported to a ship’s officer or airline
official immediately and written
confirmation obtained. We are unable to
accept liability for the contents of literature,
DVDs, videos or websites produced by our
suppliers/hoteliers.
8. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU
We accept liability for any damage caused
to you or any person in your party by the
failure to perform, or the improper
performance of, the voyage or air package
holiday arrangements when your booking is
confirmed (subject to any changes
subsequently agreed between us) (but
excluding any additional arrangements or
extras whether or not purchased at the same
time as defined in paragraph 4B) unless:
(a) the failures which occur in the
performance of the contract are attributable
to you or some other person in your party;
(b) such failures in performance are
attributable to a third party unconnected
with the provision of the services contracted
for and are unforeseeable and unavoidable
or;
(c) such failures are due to:
(i) unusual or unforeseeable circumstances
beyond our control, the consequences of
which could not have been avoided even if
all due care had been exercised; or
(ii) an event which we, or the supplier of the
services could not foresee or forestall even
with all due care.
Our liability, shall in any event be limited to:
i) the maximum of twice the cost of your
travel arrangements, or
ii) the minimum amount payable in
accordance with and/or in an identical
manner to:
(a) the contractual terms of the companies
that provide the transportation and
accommodation for your travel arrangements,
which are expressly incorporated into
the contract and also form the terms and
conditions of separate contracts between
you and the carrier.
(b) any relevant international conventions,
including the Warsaw Convention 1929,
whether as amended by the Hague Protocol
1955 or the Montreal Protocol 1999, or
otherwise, or the Montreal Convention 1999.
Carriage of passengers and their luggage by
sea is governed by the Athens Convention
1974, and in respect of carriage by rail by the
Berne Convention and in respect of provision
of accommodation by the Paris Convention.
Any action arising out of carriage by air or sea
must be commenced within the two year time
limit prescribed by the Warsaw and Montreal
Conventions or the Athens Convention as
applicable. Legal proceedings for all claims for
which time bars are not stated in international
conventions or are stated in the Norwegian
Maritime Code must be made within one year
from the date on which disembarkation did, or
should have, taken place. The transport of
passengers, baggage and vehicles is subject
to the provisions of the Act. no. 39 of 24 June
1994 Norwegian Maritime Code, as amended,
(“Norwegian Maritime Code”) and package
tours are subject to the provisions of the Act
no. 57 of 25 August 1995 Relating to Package
Tours (“The Package Tours Act).
We are to be regarded as having all benefit
of any limitation of compensation contained
in these, or any other conventions, including
claims for death, injury, delay to passengers
and loss, damage and delay to luggage. You
may ask for copies of the transport
companies’ contractual terms or the
international conventions from our offices at
Bedford House, 69-79 Fulham High Street,
London SW6 3JW.
Under EU law (Regulation 261/2004) you
have rights in some circumstances to refunds
and/or compensation from your airline in
cases of denied boarding, cancellation or
delay to flights, for which you must pursue
the airline. Reimbursement in such cases will
not automatically entitle you to a refund of
any part of your holiday cost from us. Also,
where a delay may result in entitlement to
cancel a flight this does not automatically
entitle you to cancel or receive a refund for
any other arrangements, even though they
may have been made in conjunction with
your flight.
9. INDEMNITY
When you book arrangements with us you
accept responsibility for the proper conduct
of yourself and your party. If your actions or
omissions cause damage to any property in
the provision of the contracted arrangements,
or cause delay or diversion to any
flight or other means of transportation, you
agree to fully indemnify us against any claim
(including professional fees and legal costs)
made against us by or on behalf of the
owner of such property or the operator of
the flight or other means of transportation.
The Captain of an aircraft or Master of a ship
has authority over the aircraft/ship and
passengers at all times when they are
boarding or on board. There will be no liability
on our part, or that of any supplier, for
any refund, compensation, or costs thus
incurred. Additionally, we will have the right
to recover full costs resulting from the
incident from the passenger.
At any port or place we may refuse to
embark or may disembark any passenger
who, in the opinion of the ship’s authorized
personnel, might be excluded from landing
at further destinations by local authorities or
who may be suffering from any contagious
or infectious disease, or whose presence
may be detrimental to the wellbeing of
passengers or crew. In cases of quarantine of
the ship, or individual passengers
(passengers may be required to remain in
their cabin or as instructed by authorised
personnel on board if they or any other
occupant of the accommodation presents
any symptoms or may be considered to put
other passengers at risk) we will not be liable
for expenses thus caused and in such cases
as above there will be no entitlement to any
refund or compensation and we will have no
liability for costs incurred as a result.
Each passenger warrants that they are fit to
travel.
Hurtigruten reserves the right to require any
passenger to produce evidence of the same
and cannot accept liability for any situation
arising out of a failure to disclose any pre-existing
condition or disability. Passengers with
physical or mental disabilities or other
conditions which may require special
assistance, e.g. use of a wheelchair or scooter,
or service animal, must advise us in writing
before a booking is made. Passengers who
use wheelchairs or who may require special
assistance must be accompanied by someone
who is able to assist them on shore and at sea.
Your specific passport and visa requirements
and other immigration requirements are
your responsibility and you should confirm
these with the relevant Embassies and/or
Consulates. We do not accept responsibility
if you cannot travel because you have not
complied with the latest requirements. If you
have made independent travel arrangements
you accept responsibility for joining
the ship in good time, regardless of any
change to the sailing time or date, or to the
itinerary. We are not able to refund monies
paid to us, or any third party acting on our
or your behalf, or make compensation or
other payments where, for whatever reason,
you fail to join the ship. Passengers going
ashore are responsible for re-boarding the
ship prior to departure from port.
10. INSURANCE
It is a condition of the contract with us that
every member of the booking has travel
insurance in force for the entire duration of
the holiday, covering at least the cancellation
of the booking and providing medical cover
for illness or injury and repatriation while
overseas. Please provide us with the name of
your insurer, together with their 24-hour
emergency number when you book or as
soon as possible.

12. DATA PROTECTION
In order to process your booking and ensure
your travel arrangements run smoothly and
meet your requirements we, Hurtigruten Ltd,
need to use the information you provide
such as name, address, any special needs/
dietary requirements etc. We take full
responsibility for ensuring that proper
security measures are in place to protect

ships, hotels, transport companies etc. The
information may also be provided to security
or credit checking companies, public
authorities such as customs/immigration if

the European Economic Area (EEA), controls
on data protection in your destination may
not be as strong as the legal requirements in
this country. We will not pass any

arrangements. This applies to any sensitive
information that you give to us such as
details of any disabilities, or dietary/religious
requirements. (If we cannot pass this
information to the relevant suppliers,
whether in the EEA or not, we cannot
provide your booking. In making this
booking, you consent to this information
being passed on to the relevant persons.)
