Have you travelled with Hurtigruten?

Today we have had a training session on Hurtigruten voyages.  I have booked several Hurtigruten cruises in the past but found the training to be very interesting.  Hurtigruten is different to the likes of P&O and Fred Olsen for example as they carry both freight and passengers.
Hurtigruten ships sail along the Norwegian coast and make lots of stops.  In a 12 day cruise sailing the Norwegian Coast you will experience 34 ports.  Ports are visited both day and night.  Some of the stops may only be for 25 minutes enough time to load or unload freight and passengers to stretch their legs.  You can travel with Hurtigruten all year round so you can pick your season.  The winter season is where you can go to try and see the Northern lights and the far north of the coast you can take a trip to the Snow hotel or take a Snowmobile Safari.  In the spring the sunlight rejuvenates life along the coast and each day the sun light increases thawing the land.  The summer season brings the 24 hour day light and the north of the Arctic Circle the sun is visible 24 hours a day.  The autumn seasons brings the colours of autumn with lovely landscape and very clear air.  There may be snow on the highest points at this time.  I have travelled to the Fjords twice before and I am sure which ever season you went it would be breathtaking.  Hurtigruten do also offer Explorer voyages to Greenland, Spitsbergen and Antarctica.  Hurtigruten have different accommodations onboard inside, outside and suites to suit every budget.  They are informal and there is no dressing up for dinner.  It is open seating for Breakfast and lunch and waiter service for dinner.  A lot of the food is brought on fresh from the ports of call.  The Entertainment onboard is very low key and may have a singer or a band on in the lounge.  There is a selection of excursions to choose from and there are tour leaders on board to assist with the excursions.
