Authentic

Hurtigruten Expeditions is the world leader in expedition travel. Since 1893, they’ve been bringing guests to the most spectacular places on the planet, going beyond the usual highlights and iconic cities to remote communities and hidden vistas that few get to see. With sustainability and exploration at their core, guests enjoy authentic, and immersive, travel experiences that expand knowledge and nurture new understandings for the world we live in.

Active

Their expedition cruises focus on active exploration, with an emphasis on science and education. From their small boats (RIBs) and optional activities, including hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, and more, to their state-of-the-art Science Center, relevant lectures, and Citizen Science program, guests are immersed in amazing landscapes, get up close to rare wildlife, visit locations off the beaten path, socialize with local citizens, and encounter unique cultures.

Destination Experts

Their Expedition Team is comprised of handpicked experts who know their destinations better than anyone. They organize and guide activities both on board and ashore, are accessible to guests, and share their vast knowledge of the places they explore. They’re specialists in a variety of fields and deliver engaging lectures on topics such as glaciology, history, biology, archeology, and other destination-specific topics.

Sustainable

They’re committed to ensuring that sustainability is at the core of all their operations. That’s why they’ve committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, built the world’s first hybrid electric–powered cruise ships, were the first major travel company to remove single-use plastic from their fleet, and enhance the local communities they visit by sourcing their excursions and food locally.
