We strive not to be beaten on price!
Get a taste of the Scottish isles as we follow the whisky trail and experience the rugged beauty of the Hebrides, the Orkneys and the Shetlands. Our voyage encompasses spectacular wildlife destinations such as St Kilda and Fair Isle. We sample peaty malts on Islay, and visit the Isle of Man and Northern Ireland’s Belfast.
Our Arctic Explorer ship, MS Spitsbergen will take you on an itinerary beyond the ordinary.
MS Spitsbergen is named after the crown jewel of Arctic Norway – the Spitsbergen archipelago. Hurtigruten has a long history of travelling to Spitsbergen, beginning in 1896 with the `Sports Route´. MS Spitsbergen cruises along the Norwegian coast from September to May, and becomes part of our global Explorer sailings during the rest of the year.
After complete reconstruction, MS Spitsbergen re-joined the Hurtigruten fleet in 2016. The ship features high technical standards as well as comfortable, modern public areas and cabins. The vessel´s fresh Scandinavian design reflects a colour palette derived from the sea. She is modern and environmentally progressive, and we plan further improvements that will reduce emissions and fuel consumption even more. The new ship’s maneuverability and optimal size make her quite suitable for exploring polar waters.
