welcome
Dear Explorer,
For almost 130 years, Hurtigruten have
been leading the way in expedition
cruising. Our mission is to deliver authentic
adventures for the naturally curious.
When you embark on one of our ships,
you don’t just sail past stunning scenery;
you are fully immersed in the destinations
with exciting landings designed to bring
you close to nature.
I am pleased to present our series of
NEW Expedition Cruises from the UK
for 2022/23. Begin your cruise earlier
and directly from UK shores, as we embark
from a choice of four convenient ports;
Liverpool, Portsmouth, Dover or Glasgow.
Explore hidden gems of the British Isles,
the beautiful coastline of Norway and
Svalbard under the Northern Lights
or midnight sun, charming southern
Scandinavia or spectacular Iceland.
Our range of expertly-planned itineraries
are designed to take you off the
beaten track, discover wildlife and
live extraordinary experiences.
Our smaller and highly-manoeuvrable
expedition ships welcome approximately
500 fellow guests allowing you a spacious
home away from home. You’ll be expertly
guided by our friendly Expedition Teams
who serve as hosts, lecturers, instructors,
companions and guides as they share their
passion for the ‘Great Outdoors’ and lead
adventurous activities such as hiking
and kayaking.
Your health and safety is our top priority,
and we constantly update our protocols and
safety guidelines, in consultation with health
authorities. Book with confidence, and for
the latest information, visit our website.
We look forward to welcoming you on one

access to areas the larger ships can’t reach.
