Sustainability:

Here at Hurtigruten, we put great effort into enhancing our environmental initiatives and running a responsible, sustainable operation. For love of the Norwegian coast and horizons across the planet, we…

– Have removed single-use plastic, such as straws and plastic cups, from all our ships; becoming the first cruise line to do so 

– Have banned the use of polluting and toxic Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) on our ships and are campaigning for a full international ban

– Have invested in cutting-edge hybrid ships that run on clean battery power and liquefied natural gas 

– Are preparing out ships to use shore-based electrical power at several points along the Norwegian coast 

– Organise voluntary beach clean-ups for guests and staff, including Young Explorers aged 7 – 13 years 

– Have installed new propellers on our ships to reduce emissions of CO2 by 2,300 tonnes a year 

With 125 years of experience, Hurtigruten gives you the opportunity to experience not only the natural, unspoiled and endless beauty of the Norwegian coastline but also the Arctic environments, people and wildlife at the very ends of the Earth.

Thanks to the size of its ships, Hurtigruten can show you a wider range of destinations than bigger ships. This means you’ll get the chance to explore stunning fjords, visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites and enjoy wildlife and nature along more than 1,000 miles of pristine coastline in a relaxed atmosphere.

On our journeys along the Norwegian coast and across the world, you will benefit from the skills of a full Expedition Team, who serve as hosts, lecturers, instructors, teachers and guides.
