Hurtigruten Guarantee you to See the Northern Lights

So I have recently been looking at Northern Lights cruises with Hurtigruten who specialize in cruises to Norway and the Northern Lights. Hurtigruten are a specialist cruise line with smaller ships enabling you to get into smaller ports of call and see more of Norway.

Northern Lights Promise

100%. That’s how sure they are that the spectacular Northern Lights will make an appearance on your 12-day Hurtigruten voyage. They even back that 100% with a special promise to you. So if you do not see the Northern lights they will get you back another cruise with them to see the Northern lights. So your Hurtigruten experience will be one with zero regrets. 

Now the cabins can be slightly smaller than you’d expect from a normal Ocean cruise however their ships are so much smaller compared to the other cruise lines. Typically tonnage for Hurtigruten is around 16,000 tonnage plus.

Their cruise itineraries are unique and specialize with their fantastic array of ports they call into. However the scenery is breathtaking and feedback from customers is that they would 100% definitely do a cruise like this with Hurtigruten again. The cruise itself can offer inside cabins, outside cabins, superior cabins and suites (suite cabins come with tea / coffee making facilities on the newer ships).

In regards to dining on-board after embarkation passengers are requested to go to the restaurant to make their table reservation for the voyage. Each Hurtigruten ship has a slightly different practice with regard to meal times. The usual meal times are:
Breakfast from 07:30 to 10:00 hours (open sitting).
Lunch from 12:00 to 13:00 hours (open sitting).
Dinner from 18:30 hours (set sitting).

You also have the cafeteria for snacks between meals.

Shore Excursions

Pre-booking excursions, whenever possible is recommended as only remaining places will be sold on board. Excursions booked on board will be payable in Norwegian Kroner and prices may vary from those shown onthis web site as a result of currency exchange rates, or local changes. It is not possible to pre-book within 14 days of departure. Excursions and their content are subject to maximum/minimum numbers and local weather conditions.

Tipping

Hurtigruten has a non-tipping policy. However, if you feel that crew members should be rewarded for providing exceptional service this is entirely at your discretion.

So if you would like to experience a Northern lights cruise between October to March then please get in contact on 0800 408 6116 or [email protected]
