6 Welcome to Norway and Hurtigruten RUNE KONGSRO Mention Hurtigruten to most Norwegians and they know exactly what you re talking about. We ve been sailing Norway s western coastline for 125 years. Many of the ports we call on daily still consider us their main window to the outside world. The Norwegian coast is who we are. It s where we began and where we will stay, even as we expand our coastal and polar destinations around the world. As well as being a daily feature in the lives of many coastal inhabitants, we are to most Norwegians, symbolic of Norway s maritime heritage, astounding natural beauty and national character independent, reliable, proud, resilient and kind. No wonder Hurtigruten is a household name. Internationally, Hurtigruten is synonymous with magnificent fjords, the Midnight Sun and the Northern Lights. An influential travel publication describes us as the world s most beautiful sea voyage. We modestly agree. After all, imagine standing on deck watching the Aurora Borealis glimmer above in a star-riddled sky, sailing still waters within nearly touching distance of a sheer 1,000-metre high mountain side, or experiencing perpetual daylight and a never-setting sun above the Arctic Circle. But beyond this, we want to highlight our genuine commitment to sustainability. Coming from a part of the world blessed with pristine nature, pure water and clean air, we value what we have and want to keep it that way. We want to be part of a progressively greener future and are committed to doing something about it. We have implemented sustainable practices throughout our operations and can honestly say that Hurtigruten sailings make a minimal impact on nature. In July 2018, we banned all single-use plastic on our ships, one of the first major companies to do so, and our goal is to become the world s first plastic-free shipping company. We have also made our largest-ever investment one that will render adventure travel cleaner and quieter. In 2019, we will launch the world s first hybrid-powered expedition vessel, MS Roald Amundsen. The ship sets a new precedent in sustainable travel. Using state-of-the-art drive technology, we will sail silently into pristine surroundings on electric power, significantly reducing overall emissions. By 2021, nine more of our ships will run on LNG (liquefied natural gas) and battery power likely making Hurtigruten the greenest fleet in the entire cruise industry. We also contribute to the preservation of the areas and waters we sail in and give back to the local communities we visit through itinerary planning, working with local partners, and via our Hurtigruten Foundation. When you sail with us, you don t just observe the landscapes we pass, you get the chance to actively interact. Along the coastal route, you can choose from more than 70 excursions, taking part in hikes, boat trips, dogsled rides and many other friluftsliv activities, led by our onboard Expedition Teams. Then there s the food. Outstanding regional specialities prepared on board from fresh local produce delivered to the ship come as standard on Hurtigruten. Get closer to authentic coastal Norway, to its people, landscape, culture and wildlife. Many have said sailing with the original Hurtigruten is the experience of a lifetime. Join us and see why. Welcome on board! Daniel Skjeldam CEO of Hurtigruten May 2018 STIAN KLO 4

8 Norway One of the most beautiful places on earth Stunning nature and happy people Norway is a land characterised by mountains, deep fjords, endless lakes, glaciers and stunning rock formations. Not to mention it s the Land of the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. It s home to more natural wonders than you can count, with sophisticated cities and fascinating history. Norwegians are known for their active outdoor lifestyle that includes skiing, kayaking and hiking. They incorporate their love of nature and the outdoors into their day-to-day lives. It s a life philosophy they call "friluftsliv". Being one of Europe s most beautiful countries must help, and once you experience it, the feeling is contagious! No wonder Norway regularly ranks highly in the annual World Happiness Report. RUNE KONGSRO 6

9 Even more stunning light The Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun feature highly on travel bucket lists - and Norway is one of the best places in the world to see both of these natural phenomena. STIAN KLO In winter, the Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, colour up Norway s night skies. The best chance to see this magical light show is between October and March. In summer, Norway becomes the land of eternal daylight, with 24 hours of visible sun above the Arctic Circle. Not only is this a glorious sight, it also leaves you more hours in the day for exploring. NINA HELLAND and a really, really stunning coastline Norway s spectacular and beautiful coastline attracts many visitors each year. Words alone cannot capture its charm; you really need to see it for yourself. At 103,000 km long, it s the second longest coastline in the world, and the longest in Europe. What makes it so remarkable is its variety, nature and geology. The coastline features examples of the world s most beautiful fjords, islands, fishing villages, and snow-covered landscapes. Interspersed between the remote and rural treasures, nestle some of Norway s finest cities, showcasing well-preserved architecture from the medieval, gothic and Art Nouveau periods.

10 When you ask people what to see or do in Norway, they answer, See the coast. This is where we come in. Hurtigruten is an iconic coastal voyage that has sailed the Norwegian coastline for over 125 years. We are as synonymous with Norway as samba is to Brazilians, sauna to Finns and pasta to the Italians. Nothing brings you closer to Norway s coast - both physically and experientially - than sailing with us. With daily departures, our ships travel through breathtaking scenery, calling on 34 ports - large cities, small towns and secluded hamlets, most vessels are unable to reach. On your journey, you will encounter the beating heart of Norway. When you want an authentic Norwegian coastal experience, Hurtigruten is the only name to trust. EDITH FLAKK A Unique Coastal Connection Welcome to our backyard 8

11 Meet the experts Our Expedition Teams are here to enhance your Norway experience. They love to share local knowledge on biology, geology, history and culture in an entertaining and informal way. They are not just coastal experts; they are your on-board and onshore hosts on your journey. On a voyage with Hurtigruten, you can participate in more than 70 excursions, offered by local experts. This is when the full wealth of Norway s landscape, history and culture reveals itself. FIND MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE EXPEDITION TEAMS ON PAGE 78 AND EXCURSIONS ON PAGE 60 EXPEDITION TEAM HURTIGRUTEN We take you closer Our ships are uniquely designed to explore the Norwegian coastline in the most comfortable way. Whichever season you choose to sail with us: during the springtime reawakening of the coast, over the long, sun-drenched days of summer, when the amazing palette of autumn colours glow, or for the soul-stirring spectacle of the Northern Lights in winter, our voyages offer an exhilarating means of getting close to nature and to Norway. At the smaller ports, guests love to head out on deck for a glimpse of daily life along the coast. As we dock, quiet quaysides suddenly come to life: listen to friendly banter exchanged between dock workers, observe forklift trucks scuttle back and forth, loading and offloading supplies to the ship; and wave hello to friends and family of our crew. These are the moments that no other voyage along the Norwegian coast can recreate. GUEST IMAGE KNUT JENSSEN Fresh, tasty, local and sustainable Norway s coast produces an abundance of fresh food, be it fished, foraged or farmed. The 34 ports we visit provide the perfect opportunity to source fresh produce from local suppliers every day. Not only is this a treat for your taste buds, it also enhances your travel experience, minimises food miles, generates positive ripple effects in the local communities, and connects us with the places we visit.

13 HURTIGRUTEMUSEET We re proud of our rich history In 1893, Captain Richard With started a regular, scheduled service along the coast of Norway - and Hurtigruten was born. The service operated several weekly departures, first from Trondheim to Hammerfest and later from Bergen to Kirkenes in only seven days! No wonder this important coastal connection was called Hurtigruten (the Fast Route). Today, over 125 years later, our 12 ships call at 34 ports along the Norwegian coast daily, all year round. We also take guests to polar destinations like Antarctica, Greenland, Svalbard, Iceland and the Northwest Passage. Trading locally It is important for us to contribute to the local communities and leave a positive impression on the coastal towns we visit. By trading locally and sourcing services such as food and excursions from local suppliers, we contribute to the livelihood and welfare of these coastal communities. We value our cooperation with local communities, who in turn welcome our guests with the warmest hospitality, proud to show them the best of their country. In operating ethically, we not only contribute to collective prosperity, we help sustain and enrich the unique way of life that coastal Norway is known for and that our guests come to see, taste and experience. HURTIGRUTEN Hurtigruten and sustainability Being the world leader in exploration travel comes with responsibility. As such, sustainability is at the core of every part of our operation and experience. We are a global front runner in green shipping, setting new precedents on all fronts. Hurtigruten is advocating a ban on heavy fuel oil and stricter regulations on pristine destinations. We are involved in research, fighting pollution and funding local and global projects through the Hurtigruten Foundation. We aim to educate guests and create ambassadors for every destination on every voyage. JOHN JONES - GUEST IMAGE War on plastic Plastic pollution is the single biggest threat in our oceans. Hurtigruten is the first cruise line in the world to ban all unnecessary single-use plastic. From July 2018, everything from straws to drinking glasses and plastic bags, will be removed or replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives made of paper, biodegradable material and sustainable materials. All plastic glasses on board will be replaced. ØRJAN BERTELSEN PIKSELSMIA Setting a greener standard Our new ships, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Fridtjof Nansen, will be the world s first battery hybrid-powered expedition ships, custom-built to explore some of the most spectacular areas of our planet. By 2021, nine of our ships will run on LNG (liquefied natural gas) and battery power giving us one of the greenest fleets in the entire cruise industry. We are setting a new standard for the next generation of adventure travel and you can be a part of it. ENVIRONMENTAL Networks Hurtigruten plays an active and leading role as a member of several networks, promoting safe and environmentally responsible travel. PIKSELSMIA 11

14 Which season will you choose? THE SEASONS IN NORWAY ARE DYNAMIC AND BEAUTIFUL STIAN KLO MICHAEL GURANTZ - GUEST IMAGE RUNE KONGSRO FRIEDRICH PAUL TROPPER 12

15 The four seasons in Norway are very distinct, and each have their own unique personality. Norway is extra special in that it also has a Northern Lights season that lasts from late September through to the end of March. Some say you really haven t seen all of Norway until you have experienced each of its seasons. The on-board activities, restaurant menus and shore excursions change according to the time of year and the waters we sail in. Each season brings with it new opportunities to experience a Hurtigruten voyage in an entirely different light, both literally and figuratively. OLE C. SALOMONSEN 13

16 NOVEMBER MARCH Sailing with Hurtigruten during November to March will provide the best and most reliable chances of experiencing the Northern Lights flickering across the Arctic sky in shades of ghostly green, red and purple. Snowy white Experience the magic of Norway s winter wonderland, when a meditative hush descends on snow-covered landscapes, creating beautiful scenes that are both inspiring and unforgettable. STIAN KLO Winter Indescribably beautiful From 27 November to 13 January, there is no daylight (Polar Night) in Kirkenes. Winter is perhaps the most special time to discover the wild and untamed nature of Norway. 14

17 SHUTTERSTOCK Yuletide charm Visit enchanting Christmas markets, brimming with local handmade crafts and artisanal specialities in many ports we call at during late November and December. 24 NORWEGIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ON 24 DECEMBER. Vast wilderness Take a thrilling ride across the Arctic tundra in a snowmobile or dog sled, or actively embrace the frozen white wilderness on cross-country skis or snowshoes. ROMAN SCHEIBLER What to pack Wrap up warm It can get very cold along the coast during winter, so we recommend you pack base and mid layers, as well as a thick winter jacket, hat, gloves, woolly jumper, scarf, winter boots, and pull-on spikes (for sale on board). The landscape is blanketed in white, velvety snow and the air is fresh, pure and crisp. From deck, you will see clusters of cosy houses glow on the shores like embers. Join us on an exploration of polar lights, with excellent chances to see the elusive Aurora Borealis. Light fantastic This is Northern Lights season in northern Norway. The stunning backdrop of snow-clad mountains reflects the polar twilight. Sailing with Hurtigruten, out at sea and away from light pollution, provides some of the best possibilities to view this celestial light show. Even regular daylight in the Far North is remarkable. The low position of the sun renders beautiful shades of light that enhance and reflect off the Arctic s white surroundings. Winter wonderland Our winter voyages along the Norwegian coastline are idyllic odysseys of fjords, mountains, coastal cities, and the anticipation of the Northern Lights. Optional, pre-bookable excursions enhance your experience of winter on the Norwegian coast, creating indelible memories of its charming culture, wildlife, and perfect landscapes. On board, you can also enjoy the winter scenery as you gaze out across the mountain ranges from the comfort of your ship s lounge, with the lights of picturesque fishing villages reflecting in the fjord. 15

18 APRIL & MAY Experience the return of light and vitality along Norway s coastline, and travel through three seasons spring, summer and winter in one journey. Peak snow April is one of the best months for snow north of the Arctic Circle, so you can look forward to trying plenty of polar activities. SKREI SEASON Take advantage of the ideal ice and sea fishing conditions in the Far North and join one of our amazing cod fishing excursions. Spring Here comes the sun Spring in Bergen: By 30 April, there is approx. 16 hours of daylight in Bergen. Norway Day on 17 May officially marks the end of spring and shift to summer. The sun makes a welcome return and infuses new life along Norway s coastline. Days lengthen, snow and ice retreat, rivers thaw and plant life begins to emerge. 16

19 KARIN HIELSCHER - GUEST IMAGE Arctic light Marvel at the incredibly clear light of the Arctic. Spring in Norway still offers many opportunities to see nature s most amazing light spectacle of all the Aurora Borealis before perpetual daylight prevails. 3 SEASONS IN ONE JOURNEY Time of renewal Feel the energy of coastal Norway s springtime reawakening. During Easter, many Norwegians escape to the mountains and sea to ski, sail and bask in the return of daylight. GABRIELA GUGGENBUEHL - GUEST IMAGE What to pack Cover all bases As we are likely to encounter three seasons during one sailing in spring, it s important to pack well and layer up. We advise bringing a woollen jumper, warm socks, a thick scarf, winter boots, warm, waterproof trousers and jacket, a hat and gloves. ASLAK TRONRUD In the Far North, winter still rules. Sail with us and experience coastal Norway s reawakening! On a spring voyage, you may even encounter three seasons in one journey. Start in the milder climate of Bergen, feel the weather cool as you sail up along the coast, until you reach full winter above the Arctic Circle where you can still enjoy snowmobiling, dog sledding and snowshoeing excursions! In April, we also visit beautiful Lyngenfjord, with its majestic mountain backdrop and marvellous nature. More light As the sun rises higher into the sky, Norwegians head outdoors. While it s too early to see the Midnight Sun, if you re lucky, you may still be able to catch the Northern Lights during early April. Check the aurora forecast and if the conditions are favourable, find a cosy spot on deck, snuggle up in warm blanket, sit back and watch the show. Get closer to nature Explore our many exciting onboard activities and thrilling optional shore excursions, including eight different hikes. Go on an ice or sea fishing excursion, or venture into a snowy wilderness to experience the wonder of Arctic light and nature. We take you closer to marine animals, nesting cliff birds, and life in Norway s remote coastal communities. Fabulously fresh One of the delights of sailing with Hurtigruten is the food. Stopping at so many ports along Norway s coast provides the perfect opportunity to source fresh local foods directly from the producers. Join our coastal odyssey and delight in the seasonal tastes of spring! 17

20 MAY AUGUST Sail with Hurtigruten in summer and discover enchanting Trollfjord from May to August; Geirangerfjord from June to August; and Lyngenfjord in May. This is peak season for strawberries, when they are at their sweetest and most delicious. Natural power Watch in awe as cascading waterfalls deliver winter s snowmelt into the sea, and delight in the summer palette of seasonal blooms painted onto the hillsides and valleys. HURTIGRUTEN/NSA Summer ETERNAL LIGHT Between 18 May to 25 July, there is no night in Kirkenes (Midnight Sun). Sailing Norway s coastline from May to August is like a midsummer night s dream. Experience roundthe-clock daylight above the Arctic Circle, where the sun never sets. 18

21 HURTIGRUTEN HOOray! On Norwegian Independence Day (17th May), you can join in the celebration with parades, music and colourful, traditional costumes. 24 HOURS OF DAYLIGHT Everlasting light The Midnight Sun season means you can stretch out your days even further. People often comment that the endless daylight in the Far North provides an extra energy boost. JAN LILLEHAMRE What to pack Summer attire Summer weather along the coast can be changeable, so in addition to t-shirt, shorts and sandals, it s wise to pack a warm jumper, light jacket (water-resistant), thin hat and gloves, and hiking shoes. RUNE KONGSRO Summer is the most popular time to visit the land of the Midnight Sun, when we make special sailings into idyllic Trollfjord, Geirangerfjord and Lyngenfjord. A superb time of year to discover Norway Perpetual daylight along the entire coastline and endless sun north of the Arctic Circle give you more time to explore the many highlights of coastal Norway. Many say that the surplus light is so invigorating that they find it hard to go to bed. For those bristling with extra energy, we offer an array of optional summer activities so you ll never run out of things to do. Excursions include exhilarating RIB boat rides, sea eagle safaris, sea and river kayaking, scenic hikes across mountain valleys and lofty peaks, and gentle coastal walks. Seasonal celebrations Summer is also the high season for festivities. Help Norwegians celebrate their Independence Day, 17 May, when coastal communities revel in colourful parades, music and local traditions. Sankthans, on 23 June, is another special occasion when huge bonfires are lit once the sun sinks low on the horizon, and can be seen burning along the coast until early morning. Always something Throughout the summer, you ll find plenty of food fairs, flea markets, festivals and outdoor concerts. By the end of the day, you may simply want to recline in a deck chair, relax with a drink and take in the sights and sounds around you. Join us for an unforgettable summer adventure and sail along one of the most fabled coastlines in the world. 19

22 SEPTEMBER OCTOBER Experience coastal Norway at its most naturally colourful when mountainsides, hilltops and valleys explode into dazzling reds, yellows and oranges. Cloudberries are a regional autumn delicacy, and will feature in our seasonal on-board menus. Enchanting Fjords The summer crowds dissipate, allowing you to take in the sights in a more leisurely fashion, and enjoy the slower pace of life amid the spectacular scenery. SHUTTERSTOCK Autumn Remarkably colourful Kirkenes September 2017: Average day temperature: 10.9 C. Warmest day: 5 Sept C. Coldest day: 30 Sept. 1.9 C Autumn is known as the season of colour. In September and October, brilliant reds, yellows and orange dominate the mountainsides, hilltops and woods. 20

23 JAN R. OLSEN Return of the Lights From October, we welcome back the Aurora Borealis. Our Northern Lights Promise on all 12-day voyages lasts from 1 October to 31 March. 66 THE ARCTIC CIRCLE IS SITUATED AT N HAPPY HIKING Autumn is the ideal season for hiking, and is a popular pastime in Norway. Whether you want to take a gentle hike or more challenging climb, there s a coastal walk to suit you. SHUTTERSTOCK What to pack Lots of layers While the sun may be shining, you can also expect brisk, crisp and cooler weather during the autumn months. Make sure to pack thin layers and some warm clothes a woolly jumper, wind and waterproof jacket and trousers, a hat, gloves and light hiking boots. SHUTTERSTOCK Astonishing blue skies contrast against the highest peaks, white with the season s first snow. The days grow shorter, the nights longer, and from 1 October, the Northern Lights season begins again in earnest. Laid back and leisurely Autumn is a more tranquil time to travel along the coast. The summer crowds thin, so you can explore the sights at a gentler pace, taking time to appreciate the clear air, the colours of autumn, the sounds of nature and daily life all around you. Many of our guests rate autumn as their overall favourite season to sail. Untouched fjords During autumn, we make a detour into Hjørundfjord on the northbound route. We also sail into the indescribably beautiful Trollfjord on both the northbound and southbound journeys. Harvest time The Norwegian word for autumn høst means harvest, and you ll be treated to an abundance of seasonal delicacies aboard Hurtigruten. At this time of year, you can look forward to tasting freshly-picked cloudberries and delicious mushrooms. Our kitchens serve a great selection of fresh, locally sourced cuisine, delivered from farm to ship s table. Sail away Autumn is a wonderful time to visit Norway. If you have always wanted to explore the Norwegian coastline, its famous fjords and witness the legendary Northern Lights, Hurtigruten s autumn sailings present the perfect opportunity. 21

UNESCO World Heritage Sites The World Heritage List includes 981 properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which UNESCO considers as having outstanding universal value. The sites you can see during the voyage are: Wildlife PUFFIN Keen birdwatchers flock to Norway every year to catch a glimpse of the clown faced puffin. On our birdwatching safari (excursion) to Gjestværstappan, you can see skuas, razorbills, puffins, gannets, white-tailed eagles, and kittiwakes. SEA EAGLE The white-tailed eagle is the largest bird of prey in Norway. On deck, fairly close encounters between man and eagle are not uncommon. Also, we offer a sea eagle safari to take a close look at this magnificent bird. The female s wing span can be up to 2,5 metres, and they can weigh up to 6,9 kilos. REINDEER The reindeer is a species of deer living in the Northern hemisphere. Both male and female have antlers which they grow every year. The highest concentration of reindeer held as livestock is found on the Finnmark plateau, where Sámi s have been moving their herds back and forth from the inland to the coast for centuries. KING CRAB The red king crab is a delicacy, and it can weigh up to 8 kilograms and measure as much as 23 centimetres across its shield. It lives at depths of between 5 and 400 meters, depending on the season. To experience this creature up close, join our king crab excursion in Kirkenes. SKREI The word is derived from Old Norse for the wanderer, a very precise description of this codfish returning to the Norwegian coast after years roaming the Barents Sea. The water conditions around the Lofoten archipelago are particularly suitable for spawning, attracting skrei by the millions every winter between January and March. 1. Bryggen in Bergen 2.

76 Norway s coastal kitchen Virginia Woolf once said, One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. The same is true of exploring. That s why we make sure you always dine well. Norway s culinary traditions have much in common with its coastal scenery fresh, distinctive and full of variety. Our onboard menu is inspired by "Norway s coastal kitchen", and our chefs make full use of the 34 ports we visit to receive deliveries of fresh produce from local suppliers, both coastal and inland, every single day. Fuel up on full board Enjoy delicious meals made from the freshest ingredients. Breakfast Our breakfast buffet provides a wide selection of cold meats, cheeses, eggs, cereals, fruit, freshly baked bread and pastries. And you ll often find the chef cooking pancakes and waffles to order. Breakfast like a king before a day of discovery. Lunch Lunch is an appetising spread of hot and cold buffet, featuring traditional regional dishes and other meat, fish and vegetarian options. You ll find fresh bread, fruit and vegetables, local cheeses and a choice of salads, cold cuts and seafood as well as tasty homemade Norwegian desserts. Dinner For your evening meal, our chefs present you with three- or fourcourse dinners or lavish buffets. Being a coastal voyage, many ingredients come straight from the sea like cod, scallops, king crab, crayfish, langoustine and Arctic char. There are also land specialities like reindeer, tender and juicy sirloin of beef and seasonal vegetables. We also offer a full vegan three-course dinner. Complete your meal with a selection of desserts and fresh fruit. Choose from our wide selection of beverages including wines, beer, aquavit and soft drinks. Afterwards, enjoy fresh tea and coffee or a digestif in any of the on-board lounges. 74

We recommend trying our à la carte menu for an upscale culinary experience. Enjoy the very best of what our chefs have to offer of premium local produce, from freshly caught Norwegian seafood to sustainably farmed vegetables, free range meats, and excellent cheeses. Pair your meal with a bottle from our list of specially selected fine wines. A satisfying end to a perfect day!

When it comes to food on board, our task is made easier as we sail through one of nature s most fantastic pantries. Our commitment to Norwegian food runs deep and we want to share the very best of local ingredients with our guests. Our chefs scour the country for small-scale farms and suppliers who share our passion. EIVOR ERIKSEN At 15 of our ports of call, deliveries of fresh seafood, dairy, condiments, vegetables and more, are loaded directly on board our ships every day. This significantly reduces food miles and optimises the use of port facilities. JIMMY LINUS/TINAGENT On-board cafés and bakeries If you get peckish between meals, we offer a range of on-board refreshments. Try Hurtigruten s signature burger or famous shrimp sandwich at Brygga Bistro & Café. If you have a sweet tooth, then Multe Bakery** is the place to go: freshly baked pastries, cakes and local ice cream with homemade toppings, and a wide selection of coffees, organic local teas, hot chocolate and soft drinks. *The à la carte menu is only bookable on board. MS Lofoten has its own dinner concept with a menu from the 1960s, and MS Vesterålen does not offer the à la carte menu. MS Spitsbergen has a bistro but does not offer à la carte dining. **Only available on selected ships Eating local food not only enhances your travel and culinary experience, it generates jobs and goodwill in the local communities. It also brings you closer to the places we visit. Imagine sailing past meadows where goats are grazing, knowing those goats are the source of the cheese on your plate. We work hard to minimise food waste, using every edible part of each ingredient. We go beyond environmentally-friendly; our holistic approach to the food we procure and serve means that wherever possible, it is truly sustainable. 75

78 Locally produced food, no shortcuts BY: Karl Nystøyl PHOTO: Agurtxane Concellon Every morning during spring and summer, Knut Åland puts his 200-odd goats out to graze, allowing them to leisurely nibble on wild herbs and shrubs on the mountainsides around Åland s farmstead. It s the milk from these goats that s the vital ingredient in making the world-class, organic cheeses served and sold by Hurtigruten. AT THE HEART of Lofoten lies Aalan, a small farm in Lauvdalan Valley, one of the few places in Lofoten where you cannot see the sea. It was here that Knut s mother arrived one day, long ago. She had travelled here from Finnmark on a Hurtigruten ship with little baggage, a cow and some sheep, to make a life with her husband. Together, they cleared the land, built a house and raised goats. When they retired, their son Knut and his wife Tove took over, and converted the farm into an organic operation producing organic cheeses. Knut s mother s original journey on Hurtigruten has come full circle. Today, Knut and Tove make the short trip from Aalan to the village of Stamsund to deliver the day s order of cheeses and teas to Hurtigruten ships. They always make the deliveries themselves and invariably ask, "Did you taste the cheese"? and What did the guests say? Aalan cheeses are among the best Norway has to offer. There s no secret recipe; in fact, the Ålands freely share their recipes and demonstrate their methods, but it never tastes quite the same as Aalan s own. The goats are what make the difference. Aalan s goats graze discerningly, only eating the choicest leaves from trees, Knut og Tove Åland 76

They roam freely across the entire Lauvadalen valley and surrounding sunny mountainsides. Aalan s Capra cheese is made exclusively from the milk of these goats and offers a unique taste of Lofoten. It was even awarded a bronze medal in the World Cheese Awards in Handcrafted by Aalan s two cheesemakers, who take great pride in their work, the cheeses are treated and washed in brine every other day to develop the optimal flavour. Each cheese possesses its own unique qualities with a subtle difference in flavour, despite being made from the same basic ingredients. They don t want to make a product that tastes identical. Aalan is keen to preserve its distinctive artisanal ways. Even though they sell all the cheese they produce, they don t want to expand too much, preferring to follow nature s rhythm. "Everything we do here is sustainable. After all, we pass the natural environment on to our children," says Tove softly. Aalan offers courses and invites people to the farm to be inspired about living, eating and producing food organically. You can experience this on two special Hurtigruten excursions. A cup of Lofoten Throughout the summer months, Tove Åland picks large volumes of flowers and herbs from her own garden, the valley and surrounding mountainsides. They are then dried and made into teas and seasonings to be enjoyed on board Hurtigruten ships. 77

81 ØRJAN BERTELSEN The joy of friluftsliv Norwegians are famous for their love of the outdoors. Hardly surprising, given the country s beauti ful nature. Called "friluftsliv", it s about being in and with nature. As a contrast to hectic everyday lives, Norwegians use the opportunity to slow down the pace and focus on nature. You might say it s part of the Norwegian DNA. Join the Expedition Team on land We want to show you what we love about Norway and hope you will experience the sense of friluftsliv on special excursions with our Expedition Teams. Join them for onshore hikes to see the best and most interesting spots and sites along the coast. These hikes are presold, sold on Because Hurtigruten is a Norwegian company, friluftsliv runs through all our activities.

Come join us! board as a package, or booked individually on board. The focus is on the hike itself reaching a viewpoint, for example, or encountering an interesting sight. We are completely in the thrall of nature: be it forest, shoreline or windswept mountains no matter what the weather. Sometimes the paths are icy, the wind is strong, and fog impairs the view, but the call of the wild, the joy of being outdoors, feeling, smelling, and being in the moment are the essential elements of your experience. *MS Vesterålen and MS Lofoten are the exceptions because they have their own themes on board. ØRJAN BERTELSEN Hurtigruten Young Explorers Give the kids a sense of what it is like to be a real explorer in Norway s beautiful and untouched surroundings.

The Young Explorers programme helps kids develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for nature, climate and culture. It also introduces them to topics related to wildlife, local food, environmental protection and famous explorers. There are daily on-board activities for the Young Explorers, related to the different topics. ØRJAN BERTELSEN ANNE MARTE JOHNSEN ANNE MARTE JOHNSEN 79

82 Meet the Expedition Teams Enhancing your experience of the Norwegian coast Our dedicated Expedition Teams have one mission: enhancing your Hurtigruten experience. They aim to engage with you interpreting the nature, wildlife, culture and natural phenomena you see during your voyage and bring your journey to life. These coastal aficionados are hand-picked for their local expertise and specific knowledge in relevant fields. Our Expedition Teams consist of one Expedition Leader, one assistant Expedition Leader and one Nature and Culture specialist. They will teach you about subjects such as Norwegian nature, culture and wildlife, through lectures, out on deck while passing points of interest, and during evening gatherings. Get to know a few of our 54 Expedition Team members who work along the Norwegian Coast. KARI MOE SUNDLI Expedition Leader I was raised in a family that was passionate about outdoor activities (friluftsliv) and learned to appreciate nature and wildlife from an early age. I enjoy nature in every season and all kinds of weather. My specialties are outdoor life, coastal culture, history and heritage, sailing, wildlife photography, natural phenomena and nature protection. I joined Hurtigruten in 2002 and I m still endlessly fascinated by Norway s coastal scenery. DIEGO FERIOLI Expedition Leader Despite growing up in northern Italy, I have been fascinated by the Arctic from an early age. I am a linguist by education, and speak English, German, Norwegian, Italian and French fluently. I also hold a Master s degree in Medieval Studies from the University of Iceland and hope to captivate you with exciting tales from the Viking Age. I have several years of experience as a tour guide in northern Norway, and have considerable knowledge about polar history, flora and fauna of the Arctic, and the culture of the indigenous Sámi people. I have been working with Hurtigruten since

83 TOR FARSTAD REBECKA MAUDAL Assistant Expedition Leader Growing up in the coastal city of Trondheim, I learned to appreciate wind and weather. When I am not working along the coast, I live on a small island in the Philippines. Travelling has been a big part of my life and I have visited all the continents in the world. I hold a degree in Travel Industry Management from Hawaiian Pacific University. As a certified yoga, meditation and mindfulness teacher, I believe it is extremely important for our wellbeing to be connected with nature, something I happily share with Hurtigruten s guests. I joined Hurtigruten in ØYVIND HETLEFLÅT Nature and culture guide Growing up on a small farm facing the sea on Norway s coast instilled in me a passion for adventure and exploring the outdoors. I hold a university degree in Friluftsliv (outdoor nature life, culture and nature guiding). My education and knowledge cover many diverse activities such as climbing, kayaking, canoeing, free skiing, glacier guiding and general outdoor activities in all seasons and all weather. I have been a part of the Hurtigruten Expedition Team since 2017 as a nature and culture guide. NIRI OLAV TVEITA Expedition Leader Having been raised on a Norwegian farm, I have instinctively been interested in nature since childhood. My love for the outdoors has been a core interest shaping my life. I am a qualified nature, culture and outdoor life guide, and have extensive experience in mountain climbing, glacial walks, and all kinds of skiing. I have worked with Hurtigruten since 2015, and in addition to sailing the Norwegian coast, I have served as an Expedition Team member on our voyages to Antarctica and Svalbard. MONICA VOTVIK Expedition Leader As a kid, I spent a lot of time with relatives in Helgeland, northern Norway. I fell in love with nature and travelling from a young age. Before joining Hurtigruten in 2017, I worked in Spitsbergen for 15 years as a snowmobile guide, dog musher, hiking guide, safety officer and field manager for scientists in Svalbard and Antarctica. I love adventures and sharing my passion and knowledge about outdoor life. TO BOOK, PLEASE CALL ; BOOK ONLINE AT HURTIGRUTEN.CO.UK; OR CONTACT YOUR TRAVEL AGENT 81

84 Ship fun facts Since Hurtigruten began sailing in 1893, we have had many ships in service along the Norwegian coast. While our vessels share many similarities, each ship also offers something unique (see pages 84-97). Here are some interesting features and fun facts about the Hurtigruten fleet. EXPERIENCED CREW Every year our captains sail 660,000 nautical miles along the Norwegian coast, making them uniquely experienced in these waters. PANORAMA LOUNGE Enjoy comfortable seating while enjoying the view. NAVIGATION Custom built for the challenging waters of the Norwegian Coast, our ships feature state-of-the-art navigational and safety equipment. 14 % Hurtigruten had 14 % of all commercial guest nights in Norway in 2017, meaning 1,207,627 cruise nights along the Norwegian coast. 2,500 nautical miles Kirkenes Bergen NON-STOP VOYAGES Every day a Hurtigruten ship departs Bergen. On a 12-day round trip, Bergen-Kirkenes-Bergen, you will experience 2,500 nautical miles of varied landscapes. RESEARCH In cooperation with the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research, we have been measuring the sea temperature along the Norwegian coast for 80 years. STABILISERS With the exception of MS Lofoten, all of our ships are equipped with stabilisers. They reduce the ship roll. 126 years of history Captain Richard With establishes the steam ship service to link northern and southern Norway Hurtigruten The route along the Norwegian coast is extended to the south and now includes Bergen Kirkenes, near the Russian border, becomes the northern turning point A ship now leaves Bergen every day. Every year more than 230,000 passengers travel on board the fleet, which comprises 14 ships From 1949, seven new ships are added to the fleet. The fleet transports 500,000 passengers a year. The class system onboard is no longer used. 82

85 BANNING PLASTIC Hurtigruten will be the first cruise line in the world to ban unnecessary single-use plastics on board (by summer 2018). LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS By 2021, up to nine of our ships will run on LNG (liquefied natural gas) and battery power giving us what probably is the greenest fleet in the entire cruise industry ELECTRICITY By 2021, our entire coastal fleet will be equipped to access shore power. REDUCED EMISSIONS New propeller technology on several of our ships reduces yearly emissions by an amount equal to the impact of a diesel truck circling the globe 71 times.

Guests who are able to navigate around the ship unaided in a wheelchair do not need to have a travel companion. Those who need assistance may need to be accompanied. Please discuss with your booking agent. When the ship stops at ports on the Norwegian coast, there is a ramp or gangway for embarkation/ disembarkation.

These activities take place both inside the ships and out on deck,, designed with relevance to the season we are sailing in. Our aim is to get closer to unique environments and share the experience with fellow passengers. It is up to the guest whether they wish to join. The Expedition Team also sells and advises on excursions, issues a daily programme and news bulletin, and makes announcements regarding places of interest, disembarkation, etc. On board MS Vesterålen and MS Lofoten, this service will be carried out by the Tour Leader or by the reception.

Please note that cabins on decks with passenger access to outside areas may sometimes have an obstructed view due to other passengers walking past. Our ships function as working ships calling at ports around the clock. You may experience some noise and vibration in some cabins during docking and loading of goods. This varies depending on the location of your cabin and the type of ship. Please ask our reservations team for advice on the best cabin location for you.

Unless you are embarking or disembarking the ship at the Hurtigruten Terminal in Bergen, you will need to carry your own luggage on and off the ship at all other ports. Safety It is a safety requirement that all Hurtigruten passengers attend a compulsory safety briefing in Bergen and Kirkenes before the ship leaves port. After check in, please go to the first floor of the terminal building where our crew will greet you and conduct the mandatory safety brief at intervals. This will last between minutes, with the first taking place at 15:45. The briefing will include a demonstration of how to put on a life jacket and the instructions to be followed in the unlikely event of an evacuation or other emergency during the voyage. The briefing is compulsory for all passengers including those who have travelled with Hurtigruten before. There will be an opportunity to ask questions if you have any concerns. Please familiarise yourself with the emergency procedures as shown in the cabins (there is a diagram on the cabin door and in public areas), and ask at reception if in doubt. In many ports, there may be a good deal of activity on the quay with cars joining/leaving the ships and/or goods being loaded or unloaded. Please be alert to such traffic when embarking and disembarking. Take care during winter months when it is icy underfoot, particularly on the outside decks and when disembarking the ship or alighting from coaches. Ice spikes and other winter clothing can be purchased in the ships store. Do not carry large amounts of cash and keep valuable items, including mobile phones and cameras, out of sight. Shops All our ships have a shop carrying a selection of high quality products. We sell clothing by high end Norwegian brands and outdoor equipment suitable for excursions and hikes, as well as gifts and souvenirs. There is also a small selection of toiletries available for purchase. On MS Lofoten, this service is handled by the cafeteria. Shore excursions We recommend pre-booking excursions to avoid disappointment. You can pre-book excursions up to four weeks prior to departure (2 weeks if paid by credit card) at the rates presented. Any remaining excursion places will be sold on board. All bookings on board will be charged in Norwegian Kroner at the ship s exchange rate. The price in local currency may differ due to exchange rate fluctuations. For further information about our excursions, visit our website: Smoking Smoking is only permitted in designated areas on the outside decks. Smoking is strictly forbidden when the ships are in port and fuelling and the staff will advise when such times are. Stabilisers With the exception of MS Lofoten, all of our vessels are equipped with stabilisers. Telephone/mobile phones Private mobile phones may be used on board although reception may vary. Check with your provider for costs when using your phone abroad. What to wear On board, dress is informal. Although some passengers choose to change for dinner, the dress code is casual rather than formal. The weather in Norway can vary during the course of each voyage or even during the day. To cater for these variations, we recommend the layered-dress approach that enables you to adapt to changes in temperature, wind and precipitation conditions easily. For all voyages, we advise you to take breathable rain and windproof clothing. A warm hat, gloves, scarf and thermal clothing can be useful, together with thermal underwear, during the winter months. On land, where it may be icy, sturdy shoes are important for shore excursions and a walking stick/trekking pole may be useful.

FITNESS TO TRAVEL ON THE SHIP, PREGNANCY, DISABILITY OR REDUCED MOBILITY, MEDICAL/MOBILITY EQUIP- MENT In order to ensure that the Carrier is able to carry passengers safely and in accordance with applicable safety requirements established by international, EU or national law or in order to meet safety requirements established by competent authorities including the ships flag state every Passenger warrants that he/she is fit to travel by sea and that his/her conduct or condition will not impair the safety of the ship or inconvenience the other passengers. Information on the trip s/holiday s general suitability for persons with reduced mobility is provided in the sales and marketing material for the trip/holiday and specific information is available upon request. We reserve the right to require any Passenger to produce medical evidence of fitness to travel in order to assess whether that Passenger can be carried safely in accordance with applicable international, EU or national law. If we consider it necessary, we are entitled to administer a health questionnaire prior to boarding. If it appears to us, the Master or the Company s nominated medical representative that a Passenger is for any reason unfit to travel, likely to endanger safety, or likely to be refused permission to land at any port, or likely to render the Carrier liable for Passenger maintenance, support or repatriation, then the Carrier or the Master shall have the right to take any of the following courses: (i) Refuse to embark the Passenger at any port; (ii) Disembark the Passenger at any port; (iii) Transfer the Passenger to another berth or cabin; (iv) If the Company s nominated medical representative considers it advisable, to place or confine him/her or to transfer the Passenger to a health facility at any port, at the Passenger s expense (v) to administer first aid and administer any drug, medicine or other substance or to admit and/or confine the Passenger to a hospital or other similar institution at any port provided that the ship s nominated medical representative and/or Master considers that any such steps are necessary. Where a Passenger is refused embarkation as a result of safety and/or fitness to travel, neither we nor the carrier shall be liable for any loss or expense occasioned to the passenger thereby, nor shall the passenger be entitled to any compensation from the Carrier. Passengers who need assistance and/or have special requests or need special facilities or equipment with regard to accommodation, seating or services required or need to bring medical equipment must notify us at the time of booking. If there are any particular conditions, disabled or reduced mobility which require personal care or supervision then such personal care or supervision must be organised by the passenger and at the passenger s expense. Those passengers confined to wheelchairs must furnish their own standard size foldable wheelchairs but needn t be accompanied by a travelling companion. Unless we and or the Carrier agree otherwise and in writing Passengers are limited to bringing 2 items of such mobility or medical equipment on board per cabin with a total value not exceeding 2,200. All equipment must be capable of being carried safety and must be declared before the sailing. The Carrier may decline to carry such equipment where it is not safe to do so or where it has not been notified in time to enable a risk assessment to be carried out. Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel. The Carrier cannot for safety reasons carry pregnant passengers of 24 weeks or more by the end of the cruise. 5. A PRICES All Voyage prices shown in this brochure are in pounds sterling and are per person based on full occupancy of the cabin accommodation unless otherwise stated. Single/Sole occupancy of cabins with more than one berth is at our discretion as single/ sole use of multiple berth cabins will be limited. The price of your voyage or air package holiday arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on , Norwegian Kroner (NOK) 10.16; Euros We reserve the right to amend the price of unsold holidays at any time and correct errors in the prices of confirmed holidays. You will be advised of the current price of the voyage or air package holiday you wish to book before your contract is confirmed. We also reserve the right to increase the price of confirmed holidays solely to allow for increases which are a direct consequence of changes in: (i) the price of the carriage of passengers, resulting from the cost of fuel or other power sources; (ii) the level of dues, taxes or fees chargeable for services applicable to the holiday imposed by third parties not directly involved in the performance of the holiday, including tourist taxes, landing taxes or embarkation or disembarkation fees at ports and airports; and (iii) the exchange rates relevant to the package. Such variations could include but are not limited to airline cost changes which are part of our contracts with airlines (and their agents), cruise ship operators and any other transport providers. You will be charged for the amount of any increase in accordance with this clause. However, if this means that you have to pay an increase of more than 8% of the price of your confirmed holiday (excluding any insurance premiums, amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements), you will have the option of accepting a change to another holiday if we are able to offer one (if this is of equivalent or higher quality you will not have to pay more but if it is of lower quality you will be refunded the difference in price), or cancel-ling and receiving a full refund of all monies paid to us, except for any insurance premiums and any amendment charges and/or additional services or travel arrangements. Should you wish to cancel under these circumstances you must exercise your right to do so within 7 days from the date of the invoice we send you showing the increase. Should the price of your voyage or air package holiday go down due to changes above then any refund due will be paid to you less an administrative fee of 10. Please note that travel arrangements are not always purchased in local currency and some apparent changes have no impact on the price of your travel due to contractual or other protection in place. 112

115 There will be no change made to the price of your confirmed holiday within 20 days of your departure nor will refunds be paid during this period. 5.B VOYAGE AND AIR PACKAGE HOLIDAY Prices Do Not Include:. Travel Insurance. Luggage Handling. International Flights except where included in the Air Package Holiday Price. Optional Excursions. Gratuities Optional Excursions booked before you travel or local excursions or other activities that you may choose to book and pay for whilst on holiday are not part of your voyage or air package holiday arrangements provided by us nor are we agents for the provider of the service. For any excursion or other activity you book before departure or with which you are assisted in arranging whilst on holiday, your contract will solely be with the supplier of the excursion or activity and not with Hurtigruten. We are not responsible for the provision of your excursion or activity or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the supplier. 6. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING OR WISH TO TRANSFER YOUR BOOKING If you wish to change your travel arrangements after they have been confirmed we will do our utmost to help but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing by the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of 60 per person and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. NB: most airlines will charge a fee for ticket changes. Costs may increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made. For example, the transfer within 60 days of departure of arrangements involving a scheduled flight will mean the cancellation and re-booking of this flight and a significant additional charge. If you change the number of people in your party, the price of the arrangements will be recalculated for the new party size e.g. this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and each member of the party may have to pay an increased price. Any increase in price caused by changes you have requested is not a cancellation charge even though it may arise because a member of your party has cancelled. Any change by you to your confirmed arrangements after departure is in all cases subject to availability and any relevant costs. Transfer of Booking: If you or any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, subject to the following conditions: (i) that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the holiday; (ii) we are notified not less than 7 days before departure; (iii) you pay any outstanding balance payment, an amendment fee of [ 50] per person transferring, as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and (iv. the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other terms of the contract between us. You and the transferee remain jointly and severally liable for payment of all sums. If you are unable to find a replacement, cancellation charges as set out in clause 7 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. Important Note: Certain arrangements may not be amended or transferred after they have been confirmed and any alteration could incur a cancellation charge of up to 100% of that part of the arrangements. 7. IF YOU CANCEL BEFORE DEPARTURE You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices. We recommend Recorded Delivery. Cancellation takes effect the day we receive your letter or . Since we incur costs in relation to your arrangements from the time we confirm your booking you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges as shown in the table below (which also applies if we cancel because you have failed to make payments on time - see Payment section) together with the cost of any air fare for which we have had to pay at the time of the booking and will be payable immediately on cancellation. The cancellation charges below have been calculated as a genuine pre-estimate of the losses we would incur in the event you cancelled your holiday within the stipulated time period, taking into account the charges we will incur from our suppliers (some of which will be up to 100%) and the expected cost savings and income from alternative deployment of the travel services (if possible) calculated as an average charge over a period of time. Norwegian coastal voyages: When the cancellation letter is received by us before departure Charges as a % of the total holiday cost (excl. insurance premiums) 60 or more days Retention of deposit days 30% days 60% days 90% Less than 14 days 100% Explorer voyages: When the cancellation letter is received by us before departure Charges as a % of the total holiday cost (excl. insurance premiums) 90 or more days 20% days 40% days 70% days 90% Less than 14 days 100% If you have to cancel for a reason covered by your travel insurance you may be able to reclaim the cancellation charges, less applicable excess. Insurance premiums are not refundable. Cancellation by you due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances You have the right to cancel your confirmed holiday before departure without paying a cancellation charge in the event of unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances occurring at your holiday destination or its immediate vicinity and significantly affecting the performance of the holiday or significant affecting the transport arrangements to the destination. In these circumstances, we shall provide you with a full refund of the monies you have paid but we will not be liable to pay you any additional compensation. Please note that your right to cancel in these circumstances will only apply where the Foreign and Commonwealth Office advises against travel to your destination or its immediate vicinity. For the purposes of this clause, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances means warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination. 8. IF WE CHANGE OR CANCEL YOUR BOOKING We reserve the right to change any of the details, and correct any errors in this brochure or invoices at any time. If changes are made before you have made your booking we will advise you before we confirm your arrangements. We reserve the right in any circumstances to cancel your travel arrangements (for example if a minimum number of participants for a particular travel arrangements not reached, we may have to cancel it) and to change airline, aircraft types, vessels and itineraries without liability for any subsequent loss. Even after we have confirmed your booking we may have to make alterations but we will not cancel your travel arrangements less than 60 days before your departure except for reasons of Force Majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance in full. Most alterations will be minor and while we will do our best to notify you or your travel agent of any changes as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure, we will have no other liability to you. Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Significant changes include the following:. Change of UK departure airport. A change from one London airport to another is not considered a major change. London airports are Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City.. Change of your time of departure or return by more than 12 hours.. Change of your flight from a day flight to a night flight if this also includes a change to your departure time of 3 hours or more.. Change of resort.. Change of holiday accommodation to accommodation of a lower official rating. For the purposes of the contract night flights are those which depart from the UK between 2200 and 0600 hours or arrive in the UK between 2400 and 0600 hours. If we have to make a significant change or cancel we will notify you as soon as possible and if there is time to do so before departure we will offer you the choice of: (a) (for significant changes) accepting the change and the contract between us will then be varied to incorporate the change; or (b) accepting alternative arrangements altogether (subject to availability) of comparable or higher standard from us (at no extra cost); or (c) if available, accepting an offer of alternative arrangements of a lower standard, with a refund of the price difference between the original arrangements and the alternative arrangements; or (d) withdrawing from the booking completely in which case we will as soon as possible, refund all money paid to us. Passengers must give notice of their decision as soon as reasonably possible and not later than 7 days of being informed of the alteration. If we do not hear from you within 7 days, we will contact you again to request notification of your choice. If you fail to respond again, we will assume that you have chosen to accept the change or alternative booking arrangements. Compensation In addition to a full refund of all monies paid by you, we will pay you compensation as detailed below, in the following circumstances: - If, where we make a significant change, you do not accept the changed arrangements and cancel your booking; - If we cancel your booking and no alternative arrangements are available. The compensation that we offer does not exclude you from claiming more if you are entitled to do so. Period before departure date notification given by us Credit/Compensation per fare paying passenger (excluding infants)* 0 7 days days days days days 5 More than 60 days Nil *The compensation shown above applies to full fare paying adults only. Children or others travelling at concessionary rates will receive compensation pro rata based on the concessionary price against the full adult price as shown on the confirmation. *IMPORTANT NOTE: We will not pay you compensation in the following circumstances: - where we make an insignificant change; - where we make a significant change or cancel your arrangements more than 60 days before departure; - where we make a significant change and you accept those changed arrangements or you accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements; - where we have to cancel your arrangements as a result of your failure to make full payment on time; - where the change or cancellation by us arises out of alterations to the confirmed booking requested by you; - where we are forced to cancel or change your arrangements due to Force Majeure (see clause 9). If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the arrangements that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will, if possible, make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and where those alternative arrangements are of a lower standard, provide you with an appropriate price reduction. A flight or ship delay does not constitute a change to holiday arrangements. 9. FORCE MAJEURE Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions we will not be liable or pay you compensation if our contractual obligations to you are affected by unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, meaning any event beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. Examples include warfare and acts of terrorism (and threat thereof), civil strife, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely to the travel destination or remain at the travel destination, the act of any government or other national or local authority including port or river authorities, industrial dispute, lock closure, natural or nuclear disaster, fire, chemical or biological disaster, unavoidable technical problems with transport and all similar events outside our or the supplier(s) concerned s control. Brexit Implications: please note that certain travel arrangements may be affected as a result of the United Kingdom s decision to leave the European Union. This could include an unavailability of certain flight routes, access to certain ports and airports and changes to the visa requirements of British citizens travelling to, within or through the EU. Please rest assured that this is something we will continue to monitor and will advise our customers as soon as possible if we become aware of any confirmed bookings that will be affected. However, since this is something which is completely unprecedented and outside our control, we would treat any such changes as Force Majeure, and whilst we will endeavour to provide suitable alternative arrangements or refunds where possible, we will not be liable to pay you any compensation.

116 10. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE If there is a problem during your holiday, you must report it on board immediately or to the relevant airline, ground handler, hotelier or other supplier, so that prompt efforts can be made to resolve the problem. In the unlikely event that a problem cannot be resolved at the time and you wish to complain, you must send us full written details within 28 days of your return. Failure to take either or both of these steps will prejudice our ability to resolve your problem and / or investigate it fully. In consequence, any right to compensation you may have will be extinguished or, at the very least, substantially reduced. Where the port of embarkation for your sailing is in the EU then any complaints relating to EU Regulation 1177/2010 on Passenger Rights when travelling by Sea and Inland waterways must be made to us in writing no later than 2 months after return from travel or the date on which the service complained of was performed. We will provide a final reply within 2 months. You must supply full details to enable us to deal with your complaint. In the unlikely event that any complaint cannot be settled between us you may if you wish be referred to Arbitration. This special scheme, by arrangement with ABTA is administered by CEDR Solve. It applies if your claim is for not more than 5,000 per person or 25,000 per booking and does not involve physical injury or illness. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration conducted privately based on written documentation and evidence with limited customer liability on costs. Full details are available on request or from ABTA Ltd, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ, You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) platform at odr/. 11. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (i) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an organiser under the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 as set out below and, as such, we are responsible for the proper provision of all travel services included in your package as set out in your confirmation invoice. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our suppliers negligently perform or arrange those services and we do not remedy or resolve your complaint within a reasonable period of time, we will pay you reasonable compensation. The level of such compensation will be calculated taking into consideration all relevant factors such as but not limited to: following the complaints procedure as described in these conditions and the extent to which ours or our employees or suppliers negligence affected the overall enjoyment of your holiday. Please note that it is your responsibility to show that we or our supplier(s) have been negligent if you wish to make a claim against us. (ii) We will not be responsible or pay you compensation for any injury, illness, death, loss, damage, expense, cost or other claim of any description if it results from: (a) the acts and/or omissions of the person affected; or (b) the acts and/or omissions of a third party unconnected with the provision of the services contracted for and which were unavoidable and extraordinary; or (c) Force Majeure (as defined in clause 9). (iii) Where death and or personal injury and or loss of or damage to property occurs during carriage by air or by sea then liability and the extent of damages recoverable will be dealt with by International Conventions as set out in paragraphs (v) and (vi) and subject to paragraph (ii) and not otherwise. (iv) As set out in these booking conditions we limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claims you may make against us which do not involve personal injury, illness or death. Except where loss of and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions is concerned if we are found liable to you on any basis the maximum amount we will have to pay you is up to three times the price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under clause 11 (vi) below. (v) Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in a hotel, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have to pay under the international convention or regulation which applies to the travel arrangements or hotel stay in question. (for example, the Warsaw Convention as amended or unamended and the Montreal Convention for international travel by air and/or for airlines with an operating licence granted by an EU country, the EC Regulation on Air Carrier Liability No 889/2002 for national and international travel by air, the Athens convention for international travel by sea). Please note: Where a carrier or hotel would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question. Copies of the applicable International Conventions and Regulations are available from us on request. We do not have any liability to you by virtue of the Regulation 261/2004 which applies solely to the operating carrier. Any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier; any sums you receive from the carrier will be deducted from any amount due from ourselves. (vi) Travel by sea is governed by the provisions of the Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea 1974 as amended in 1976 ( The Athens Convention) and where applicable from 1 January 2013 EU Regulation 392/2009 relating to the Liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents ( EU Regulation 392/2009). For the purposes of the Athens Convention and EU Regulation 392/2009 we are the Contracting Carrier. The Athens Convention and EU Regulation 392/2009 limit the Carriers liability for death or personal injury or loss or damage to luggage and makes special provision for valuables. It is presumed that luggage has been delivered to you undamaged unless written notice is given by us and/or the performing Carrier. (a) in the case of apparent damage, before or at the time of disembarkation or redelivery; or (b) in the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss, within 15 days from the date of disembarkation or redelivery or from the time when such redelivery should have taken place. Damages for cabin luggage payable by the Carrier are limited up to the Athens Convention limit of 833 SDRs or 2250 SDRs if EU Regulation 392/2009 applies. Limits shall be reduced in proportion to any contributory negligence by the Client and by the maximum deductible specified in Article 8(4) of the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009. In so far as we may be liable to a Client in respect of claims arising out of carriage by sea, we shall be entitled to all the rights, defences, immunities and limitations available, respectively, to the actual carrier and under the relevant Conventions and nothing in these booking conditions shall be deemed as a surrender thereof. To the extent that any provision in these booking conditions is made null and void by the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 or any legislation compulsorily applicable or is otherwise unenforceable, it shall be void to that extent but not further. Any liability in respect of death and personal injury and loss of and damage to luggage which we may incur to you shall always be subject to the limits of liability contained in the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 for death/personal injury of 46,666 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) or 300,000 SDR under Athens Convention or 400,000 SDRs under EU Regulation 392/2009 except in the case of liability for war or terrorism 250,000 SDRs. We are not liable for valuables, monies or other securities including jewellery and watches. If they have been deposited with the reception desk on the ship for safe keeping and a receipt issued then in those limited circumstances the Carriers liability will be as set out in the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009. The use of safes on board a Vessel is not a deposit with the ship or with the company under the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 or otherwise. The limits are 1200 SDRs pursuant to Athens or 3,375 SDRs pursuant to EU Regulation 392/2009. (vii) Where there is any loss of or damage to property including luggage which is not covered by any international convention and where liability is not limited by reference to any enactment, terms of conditions, then any legal liability that we may have for any such losses or damage will not exceed 500 per guest. (viii) You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 9 above. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred. (ix) Where it is impossible for you to return to your departure point as per the agreed return date of your package, due to unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances, we shall provide you with any necessary accommodation (where possible, of a comparable standard) for a period not exceeding three nights per person. Please note that the 3 night cap does not apply to persons with reduced mobility, pregnant women or unaccompanied minors, nor to persons needing specific medical assistance, provided we have been notified of these particular needs in advance. For the purposes of this clause, unavoidable and extraordinary circumstances mean warfare, acts of terrorism, significant risks to human health such as the outbreak of serious disease at the travel destination or natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes or weather conditions which make it impossible to travel safely back to your departure point. 12. INDEMNITY When you book arrangements with us you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of yourself and your party. If your actions or omissions cause damage to any property in the provision of the contracted arrangements, or cause delay or diversion to any flight or other means of transportation, you agree to fully indemnify us against any claim (including professional fees and legal costs) made against us by or on behalf of the owner of such property or the operator of the flight or other means of transportation. The Captain of an aircraft or Master of a ship has authority over the aircraft/ship and passengers at all times when they are boarding or on board. There will be no liability on our part, or that of any supplier, for any refund, compensation, or costs thus incurred. Additionally, we will have the right to recover full costs resulting from the incident from the passenger. At any port or place we may refuse to embark or may disembark any passenger who, in the opinion of the ship s authorized personnel, might be excluded from landing at further destinations by local authorities or who may be suffering from any contagious or infectious disease, or whose presence may be detrimental to the wellbeing of passengers or crew. In cases of quarantine of the ship, or individual passengers (passengers may be required to remain in their cabin or as instructed by authorised personnel on board if they or any other occupant of the accommodation presents any symptoms or may be considered to put other passengers at risk) we will not be liable for expenses thus caused and in such cases as above there will be no entitlement to any refund or compensation and we will have no liability for costs incurred as a result. Your specific passport and visa and health requirements and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with the latest requirements. If you have made independent travel arrangements you accept responsibility for joining the ship in good time, regardless of any change to the sailing time or date, or to the itinerary. We are not able to refund monies paid to us, or any third party acting on our or your behalf, or make compensation or other payments where, for whatever reason, you fail to join the ship. Passengers going ashore are responsible for re-boarding the ship prior to departure from port. We reserve the right to substitute another vessel for the scheduled vessel whether or not owned or operated by Hurtigruten. Any part of the travel arrangements and the voyage is subject to cancellation, delay, modification, or island/mainland visit cancellation for any reason, including medical disembarkation of crew or passengers or any other circumstances beyond our or our suppliers control. You therefore acknowledge and agree that the scheduled itinerary for the voyage and the announced departure and arrival times are not guaranteed and we shall not be liable to passengers for any damages or other claims in the event of any delay, changes in itinerary or inability to perform services by reason of any event or events beyond our or our suppliers control. 13. INSURANCE It is a condition of the contract with us that every member of the booking has travel insurance in force for the entire duration of the booking, covering at least the cancellation of the booking and providing medical cover for illness or injury and repatriation while overseas. Please provide us with the name of your insurer, together with their 24-hour emergency number when you book or as soon as possible. You must be satisfied that your insurance fully covers all your personal requirements including pre-existing medical conditions, cancellation charges, medical expenses and repatriation in the event of accident or illness. If you choose to travel without adequate insurance cover, we will not be liable for any losses howsoever arising, in respect of which insurance cover would otherwise have been available. 14. TIMINGS & DELAYS Timings are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed, even if shown on tickets. They 114

117 may be changed due to regulatory authority requirements, weather conditions, maintenance or technical reasons, and the ability of passengers to check in and board on time. Sometimes delays cannot be avoided but in such situations, in conjunction with our local agents or representatives, we will try to ensure your comfort during the course of any delay. Where the port of embarkation is in the EU and the company reasonably expects the departure of a cruise to be delayed for more than 90 minutes beyond its scheduled departure time, passengers departing from port terminal shall be offered free of charge snacks, meals or refreshments as are appropriate given the waiting time, provided they are available and can reasonably be supplied. If the delay in departure necessitates a stay of one or more nights or a stay additional to that intended by the passenger where and when physically possible the Company shall, subject to the Package Travel and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018, offer passengers departing from port terminals free of charge adequate accommodation on board or ashore, and transport to and from the port terminal and place of accommodation in addition to the snacks, meals and refreshments previously referred to. The maximum amount that the company will pay for accommodation ashore and transport to and from the port terminal shall be equivalent to 80 Euros per person per night for a maximum of three nights. The company will not have an obligation to provide such accommodation ashore where the delay is caused by weather conditions endangering the safe operation of the ship. Flight Delay If you or any member of your party misses your flight or other transport arrangement, it is cancelled or you are subject to a delay of over 3 hours for any reason, you must contact us and the airline or other transport supplier concerned immediately. Under EU Law, you have rights in some circumstances to refunds and/or compensation from the airline in cases of denied boarding, cancellation or delay to flights. Full details of these rights will be publicised at EU airports and will also be available from airlines. If the airline does not comply with these rules you should complain to the Civil Aviation Authority at Reimbursement in such cases is the responsibility of the airline and will not automatically entitle you to a refund of your holiday price from us. If, for any reason, you do not claim against the airline and make a claim for compensation from us, you must, at the time of payment of any compensation to you, make a complete assignment to us of the rights you have against the airline in relation to the claim that gives rise to that compensation payment. A delay or cancellation to your flight does not automatically entitle you to cancel any other arrangements even where those arrangements have been made in conjunction with your flight. We cannot accept liability for any delay which is due to any of the reasons set out in clause 10 of these Booking Conditions (which includes the behaviour of any passenger(s) on any flight who, for example, fails to check in or board on time). The carrier(s), flight timings and types of aircraft shown in this brochure or on our website and detailed on your confirmation invoice are for guidance only and are subject to alteration and confirmation. We shall inform you of the identity of the actual carrier(s) as soon as we become aware of it. The latest flight timings will be shown on your tickets which will be despatched to you approximately two weeks before departure. You should check your tickets very carefully immediately on receipt to ensure you have the correct flight times. If flight times change after tickets have been dispatched we will contact you as soon as we can to let you know. Please note the existence of a Community list (available for inspection at eu/transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban_en) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban with the EU Community. 15. PROMPT ASSISTANCE If, whilst you are on holiday, you find yourself in difficulty for any reason we will offer you such prompt assistance as is appropriate in the circumstances. In particular, we will provide you with appropriate information on health services, local authorities and consular assistance, and assistance with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you require assistance which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, we will not be liable for the costs of any alternative travel arrangements or other such assistance you require.
