Hurtigruten offers unique expedition cruises to some of the most remote and pristine waters of the world. As with all expeditions, nature comes first. The weather, ice, and sea conditions have the final say in all of Hurtigruten’s operations. Safety and unparalleled guest experiences are our top priorities at all times.
All our itineraries are continuously evaluated in order to adapt them, either due to constraints from unexpected conditions, or, on the positive side, exciting nature and wildlife possibilities. That is why we call it an expedition.
