Since 1896, Hurtigruten Expeditions have been taking curious travellers on mindful expeditions to the most remote and awe-inspiring places on the planet. Today we invite you to join us on an expedition with Hurtigruten Expeditions – and change the way you see the world.
Hurtigruten Expeditions Cruises is a leading provider of expedition-style voyages, known for its adventurous itineraries to some of the most remote and stunning destinations in the world. Established in 1893 as a coastal ferry service along Norway’s rugged coastlines, Hurtigruten has evolved into a global expedition cruise company, offering eco-friendly, small-ship expeditions to the Arctic, Antarctic, the Galápagos Islands, South America, and beyond.
Hurtigruten is particularly celebrated for its pioneering spirit and its commitment to sustainability. The company has made significant strides in reducing its environmental impact, introducing the world's first hybrid electric-powered expedition ships, the MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen. These innovative vessels are designed to reduce emissions and fuel consumption, reflecting Hurtigruten’s focus on responsible travel.
The cruise line emphasizes immersive, nature-based experiences, allowing passengers to explore pristine environments while engaging in activities such as kayaking, hiking, and wildlife watching. Its Arctic and Antarctic itineraries are especially popular, offering travelers the chance to witness polar bears, penguins, whales, and glaciers in their natural habitats. Hurtigruten also prioritizes education, with onboard experts such as scientists, historians, and naturalists providing lectures and workshops that deepen passengers’ understanding of the environments they visit.
Another distinguishing feature of Hurtigruten is its connection to Norway’s cultural heritage. The company continues to operate its classic coastal route, which has been dubbed “the world’s most beautiful voyage,” allowing travelers to explore the fjords and coastal communities of Norway. By combining adventure, sustainability, and cultural immersion, Hurtigruten offers an unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to explore the world’s most unspoiled regions.
