These are the questions being asked by many of our guests planning future voyages and the agents booking their travel. Our health and safety video, which we shared last week, explains the detail, but only actual experience can effectively communicate the feeling of sailing again, and the how cruising has changed in a Covid-19 world.. 

NEW IMAGES FROM NORWAY

This week we received some spectacular images from our new hybrid powered expedition ship, MS Fritdjof Nansen, on her Norway expedition from Hamburg, Germany. As well as incredible scenery, the images illustrate how social distancing is working onboard and during our activities and landings.

Also clear from these images is how these health and safety changes cannot take away from the extraordinary scenery and the overall expedition experience. It is, as our CEO Daniel Skjeldam noted recently, “differently magnificent”.

Attached is a screenshot of Nansen sailing into the Trollfjord in Norway, which illustrates the new cruise experience beautifully, and you can find a hi-res version of this photo and more images via this link: https://bit.ly/NansenExpeditionJuly2020

THE FIRST OCEAN CRUISE LINE TO RETURN TO SAILING

Hurtigruten was the first ocean cruise line to return to sailing when the MS Finnmarken left Bergen, Norway, to sail the Original Coastal Voyage (Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen) last month. By the end of September, Hurtigruten will have 14 of our 16-strong fleet in operation, including sailings to Svalbard and the High Arctic, and we have also launched new itineraries to the British Isles on the world’s first hybrid powered ship, the MS Roald Amundsen, commencing late September.
