Hurtigruten invests heavily in the explorer cruise line’s land based operations on Svalbard, and spends 200 million Norwegian kroner on expansions and upgrades on arctic hotels and on adventure travel.
With the touch of a button, Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam officially started the construction of MS Roald Amundsen - the greenest cruise ship the world has ever seen.
Norwegian explorer cruise line Hurtigruten and the shipyard Kleven signs a letter of intent for the construction of up to four new explorer ships. The first vessel is to be completed the summer of 2018.
After a successful financial turnaround over the recent years, Norwegian explorer cruise line Hurtigruten now upgrades the vessels sailing the Norwegian coast, as well as their new expedition ship MS Spitsbergen. The vessels MS Kong Harald and MS Polarlys are now as the first two ships totally renewed. In this article you can see the brand new New Arctic Interior aboard MS Polarlys.
World leader in Explorer travel Hurtigruten plans to modify several vessels for shore power already during first half of 2016. The initiative follows a stronger environmental focus in the Norwegian company, operating a fleet of 13 explorer vessels. The shore power installation will significantly reduce fuel consumption and air pollution during port calls.
From the start of 2017, Hurtigruten’s expedition ships will sail to the rainforests of South America, and to Viking settlements and the national parks in Newfoundland. In the Arctic, the Norwegian explorer cruise line’s guests can explore the largest fjord complex in the world.
Hurtigruten, the world’s foremost authority in Arctic and Antarctic voyaging and explorer travel, is launching MS Midnatsol to Antarctica for the 2016/2017 season. This more than doubles the company's capacity in this strategically important region.
