Hurtigruten Expeditions Launches 37 French escorted sailings for 2022/23

June XX, 2021 – Hurtigruten Expeditions, the world leader in exploration travel, has launched 37 itineraries for the 2022 and 2023 seasons that will feature French-speaking escorts to ensure French Canadian expedition cruisers can enjoy the full experience. The French-speaking companion will be available during the voyage to help translate most announcements, answer guests’ questions, and hold specific French lectures when opportunity allows.

The 37 itineraries include sailings to Alaska, Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, North America, the Northwest Passage and Arctic Canada, and South America, featuring a long list of bucket list destinations and some of the most remote and untouched places in the world. The journeys range from eight days to 23 days for the longer voyages to Antarctica, the Falklands, and South Georgia, also known as the Ultimate Expedition.

“We are excited to improve our product offering to the French Canadian market and making almost all our destinations even more enjoyable to our French-speaking guests. As the world’s leading expedition cruise company, we are constantly looking at making our adventure trips more appealing to a wider audience, and we are pleased to now offer bilingual sailings on so many departures. This program has been a success among our Hurtigruten France guests for years and is a natural expansion,” said Kristin Erz, Sales Director, Canada, Hurtigruten Expeditions.

All 2022/23 French escorted sailings can be found here. Each sailing requires a minimum of 20 French-speaking passengers. Hurtigruten offers all Canadian residents 20% off all listed sailings and current promotions until June 30, 2021.
