It’s been almost 130 years since we pioneered the concept of expedition cruising.
With a focus on sustainable cruising, we continue to explore the planet, visiting some of the world’s most beautiful and pristine regions. A focus on exploration and learning means our customers get the opportunity to broaden their horizons in more ways than one!
Ever since we set out on our first expedition to Svalbard in 1896, we’ve believed that exploring and learning about our beautiful planet should go hand-in-hand. That’s why our fleet of modern expedition ships is designed to travel to even the most challenging of destinations while providing a comfortable and stylish setting to absorb the wonders of nature.
Hurtigruten Expeditions cruises feature a group of hand-picked experts who make up the Expedition Team, and they’ll deliver fascinating talks and lead guests on shore landings, kayaking excursions, expedition boat adventures and much more. We believe science is key to understanding the world, and that’s why some of our team members are scientists. If our guests want to learn more, our teams are available to help them use the onboard scientific equipment and guide them on Citizen Science projects, which help ongoing global research.
What’s more, our commitment to sustainable travel and our mission to help protect the places we visit means our guests help pioneer a greener way of cruising. With diverse and unique expedition cruises to 15 global destinations, and stopping at over 230 ports and landing sites from major cities to isolated islands, we help people unleash their inner explorer.
We tell those who travel on an expedition cruise with us to expect the unexpected and to be prepared for life-changing experiences!
