Hurtigruten is to offer expedition cruises from the UK for the first time in its 126-year history.
The small ship, expedition cruise line, will offer a dozen winter sailings from Dover between October 2021 and March 2022, as part of its new Norway Expedition programme.
The 14-night voyages will be operated on MS Maud, previously MS Trollfjord, which is one of the three vessels in Hurtigruten’s fleet to undergo a refit to become a “premium hybrid-powered ship” with the addition of a green technology battery and a low-emission engine.
Ports of call include Bergen, Molde, Kristiansund, Bronnoysund, Lofoten, Tromso, Honningsvag, Senja, Alesund and Stavanger.
The itinerary includes two sea days, an overnight in Tromso and a guaranteed viewing of the Northern Lights
