Special Adventure
Antarctica Expedition
The mysterious ‘White Continent’ of Antarctica was once uniquely the domain of scientific expeditions and explorers.
Today, under strict environmental guidelines, on an Antarctic expedition discerning visitors are allowed to discover the extraordinary wildlife and scenery in the world’s last true wilderness area.
These voyages are truly unparalleled and cannot be compared with any ordinary cruise:
Arctic....Polar Safari
Vast and spectacular, the Arctic reaches from Russia’s Far East to Spitsbergen to Canada.
Polar bears, walrus, seals, and even Arctic foxes haunt the ice edge, while millions of seabirds breed and raise their young on ledges and barren islands.
Northern lights:
There is a voyage for everyone in the land of the midnight sun. Remote outposts, icebergs and magnificent scenery and historic sites make for unforgettable adventures and vacations:
South America (Galapagos Island )
From the wilds of Patagonia to cosmopolitan cities, South America is a vibrant land of passionate rhythms and extreme contrasts.
South America is a huge continent with many exciting and diverse ports of call. Colourful is the best word to describe the continent of South America, along with adventurous, mysterious, lively and exciting. From romantic Rio de Janeiro to the intriguing Amazon Jungle, and enigmatic Machu Picchu to the fascinating Galapagos Islands and the glory of the annual Carnaval in Brazil you’re sure to have a South American cruise like no other.
Hunting the Aurora Borelais …… the Northern Lights
In the winter, the sun is low on the horizon and, north of the Arctic Circle, can even be below the horizon for some weeks.
This natural phenomenon creates beautiful shades of light. The Northern Lights are something else entirely! For thousands of years people in the northern part of the world have marvelled at the spectacular displays that occasionally light up the night sky. Sailing with Hurtigruten will provide the best possibilities to experience the magic colour show from light green to dark purple flickering across the Arctic sky. “Hunting the Light” is a signature of Hurtigruten’s winter voyages, hunting and experiencing the many and beautiful types of light visible during the winter months.
A winter expedition cruise along the coast of Norway is a beautiful experience. The landscape is covered in pure white snow; the air is fresh, pure and crisp. Clusters of cosy houses glow on the shores like embers, and the stunning backdrop of snow-clad mountains reflects the polar twilight. Enjoy a 6, 7, 11 or 12 day Classic Voyage with us to experience this beautiful season.
