Hurtigruten has revealed its plans for a premium voyage collection for the 2025-26 season, created in direct response to guest feedback. Guests have expressed a desire for more comprehensive options, which has led the company to introduce a Signature collection. These voyages will include all-inclusive offerings as the standard, provide longer port stays, and offer personalised guidance with exclusive activities such as hiking, lectures, and photography workshops.
The Signature voyages have been designed to capture the essence of Norwegian coastal cruising. Maintaining the allure of traditional journeys, these itineraries are set to offer an enriched experience that reflects Norway’s majestic coastal landscape and cultural richness. Customers can choose from both Signature and Original collections, testaments to the enduring legacy of Norwegian cruising.
To accommodate growing interest and demand, Hurtigruten is expanding its services, notably doubling the departure capacity from Oslo. The upcoming voyages promise greater flexibility, allowing travellers to embark on Norwegian adventures starting from the vibrant capital city. This expansion is part of Hurtigruten’s strategy to meet the escalating demand for unique and memorable travel experiences.
The itineraries for 2025-26 include diverse options. The MS Trollfjord will sail the North Cape Express from Oslo, visiting 14 ports between autumn and spring, while from May to September, the vessel will navigate the Svalbard Express from Bergen. This range of options offers something for every traveller’s preference, ensuring a personalised and enriching travel experience.
One of the standout features of these voyages is the Northern Lights guarantee, which ensures that if travellers do not witness the Northern Lights during their trip, Hurtigruten will offer a complimentary six or seven-day voyage in the following season. This guarantee highlights Hurtigruten’s commitment to delivering unique and unforgettable experiences to its guests.
Tom Kerss, known as the ‘chief aurora chaser’, will continue his collaboration with Hurtigruten, providing expertise and insights into the Northern Lights on selected sailings. His involvement adds another layer of depth and knowledge to the journeys, enhancing the guest experience through expert guidance and storytelling.
The introduction of Hurtigruten’s premium collection for 2025-26 promises to offer guests unparalleled experiences, fulfilling customer expectations through thoughtfully designed itineraries.
