Hurtigruten - Ranked Among the World's Best Small Ships

Hurtigruten's beautiful Coastal Voyage ship Nordnorge has been rated among the "Best Small Ships in the World" by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler in the February 2011 issue.

Built in 1997, Nordnorge is an intimate and charming vessel carrying less than 450 guests along the stunning fjord filled coast of Norway year round. Congratulations on a job well done!

Unforgettable Whale Watching Adventure

Hurtigruten has invited respected researcher and marine biologist Dr. Boris Culik and Dr. Fenella Bazin, an extramural lecturer in the Universities of Birmingham and Liverpool, aboard its 12-day “Giants of the Deep” sailing. This special itinerary combines nine days of the Classic Norwegian Coastal Voyage – named “world’s most beautiful voyage” by Lonely Planet – with stays in Bergen and Andenes and a once-in-a-lifetime whale watching expedition. The two speakers provide guests with fascinating lectures and intimate knowledge of the area and its wildlife throughout the voyage. Optional excursions in each of the stops – including a trip to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Geiranger Fjord and an authentic Viking feast in Lofotr – start at only $32 and allow guests to personalize their cruising experience. Voyage departs July 31, 2011.

Discover Stunning Greenland

The Disko Bay expedition along Greenland’s west coast is a fascinating exploration of the Inuit culture and the remarkable land that they inhabit. Accessible only by boat, these small settlements evoke the very essence of Greenlandic culture and, set against a spectacular natural landscape that is bathed in the light of the Midnight Sun, they provide you with a truly unforgettable journey.
