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

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 />

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 />

explore the city of Trondheim. Passing

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 –

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 />

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<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 />
of Sámi-inspired music. Autumn is harvest<br />
time all over <strong>Norway</strong>, and you get a chance<br />
to taste local specialties like reindeer meat<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 />
views of sheltered bays and glorious<br />
mountain landscapes wrapped in the polar<br />
winter’s cloak. We stop at Stokmarknes,<br />
home to the Hurtig ruten Museum, before<br />

fascinating winter scenery ahead of us.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

On board MS Nordnorge guests can admire<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 />

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).

may be asked to provide identification when<br />
you pay by credit card or exchange money.<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 />

WILDLIFE<br />
The Hurtigruten brochures include pictures<br />
and descriptions of wildlife, which may be<br />
seen from the ships and during excursions.<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 rooms with washing machines, dryers<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
need to use the information you provide<br />
such as name, address, any special needs/<br />

authorities such as customs/immigration if<br />
required by them, or as required by law.<br />
Additionally, where your holiday is outside<br />
the European Economic Area (EEA), controls<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 />
responsible for part of your travel<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 />

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 />

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 />
