6 Dear adventurers the essence of Norway s appeal is remarkably simple: This is one of the most beautiful countries on Earth. Hurtigruten provides adventures that are unmistakably Norwegian, sailing under the midnight sun in summer and under the northern lights during winter. With daily departures, our ships journey through majestic fjords and call on remote small ports in places larger vessels are unable to reach. And we have sailed here since As we celebrate our 125th anniversary in 2018, you will experience festivities on board all our ships April to December with special five-course dinners, lectures, and limited-edition souvenirs. along the route, you can choose more than 90 excursions, and take part in hikes and other friluftsliv (outdoor and nature) activities led by onboard expedition teams. These dedicated experts have a single mission: to enhance your experience by leading activities and interpreting the cultural and natural treasures you will see during your cruise. When you sail with us, you will not just observe you will have the opportunity to truly interact with the landscapes you sail through. These cruises are a treat for all your senses. Not only will you experience one of the most beautiful areas on the globe, you will have the chance to taste the freshest local specialties Norwegian artisans. This might be why so many guests Norway and abroad sail with us. They want the original. They want to go where no one else goes, with a crew and a ship that belongs there. They want to experience and learn guides who truly know this coast, who have Norway in their DNA. we have sailed the Norwegian coast since 1893, but we are still exploring and renewing ourselves. Sustainability is given top priority at Hurtigruten, and we have already modified several vessels for shore power. Our fleet has an optimal vessel size for exploration cruises, with all the necessary maneuverability, power, and capacity. We take pride in bringing you safely and comfortably to amazing destinations based on a sustainable way of operating. i invite you to join us for an adventure filled with spectacular nature and active experiences.

9 The Norwegian people travel to the same places along the coast time and time again. If you ask what draws them back, their answer may be surprising: The view is never the same; there s always something new to see. It s as simple as that! Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, but this unique place enlivens all your senses the air even tastes different along this fabled coastline! Appreciate the variety of weather that you will experience here. There s radiance in the early morning sunshine melting the frost, and elation on warm summer evenings when the sun never stops shining. There is joy in the rain shower that rejuvenates you and renews your senses, and intrigue in mysterious, foggy mornings when the land seems to leap out of nowhere. So what is the best weather for a cruise along the stunning Norwegian coastline? And when s the best time to visit? Those questions simply have no answers. There s always something new to experience, appreciate, and discover in the subtleties of this stunning landscape. You ll notice the lights in houses on the other side of the fjord on a dark autumn evening, or dark clouds threatening snow behind a unique mountain formation during winter the same snow that lingers on jagged peaks when springtime arrives, and vibrant green meadows that emerge beneath steep rocky walls to host blooming spring flowers. You may also want to come back to your favorite places again and again. Slowing down and appreciating the subtleties means that each day is like no other, and even when returning to old favorites, you will find each visit will never be exactly the same.

10 Hurtigruten s route is full of highlights, both expected and unexpected. What s at the top of the list? Here are some traveler favorites. Expect the unexpected WOLF REIMER SCHMIDT 1. BERT S. FROM: Washington, D.C. TRAVELED WITH: My daughter Expected I had traveled to Norway before so I expected to see the beautiful fjords [4] and lovely small towns, along with the excellent harbors [3]. Unexpected I was pleasantly surprised by the smooth sailing, the mild weather in late October, and the comfortable accommodations. That I could spend hours watching the never-ending beauty the panorama lounge [6]. And, of course, seeing the northern lights three nights in a row [7]! DEBBIE D. FROM: Miami, Florida TRAVELED WITH: My husband Expected I didn t have specific expectations as I had only heard a little about Hurtigruten. I did not know very much about the ships destinations, or how Hurtigruten is different more traditional cruise lines. Unexpected Authenticity. I love the fact that when you arrived in each port, there were not a million people peddling souvenirs or trying to give you a ride to some touristy spot [1]. Instead, we stopped to see the real life and history of Norway. DEAN C. FROM: San Francisco, California TRAVELED ALONE Expected I expected to see extreme natural beauty [2], to learn about the coast of Norway, and experience the northern lights [7]. Unexpected I d heard that the food was one of the highlights on Hurtigruten. It was really exceptional. Great variety and quality, and everything was fresh [5]. In my opinion this was the best food I ve had on ANY cruise line. DAVID B. FROM: Portland, Oregon TRAVELED WITH: My wife Expected I had heard about Hurtigruten and it was on my bucket list to see the coast of Norway, especially Lofoten [1]. Unexpected Coming the Pacific Northwest, I am used to seeing spectacular scenery, but I was utterly astounded at the natural beauty we encountered. I did especially enjoy Lofoten what an amazing place. We really liked the relaxed pace of the ship, and the chance to get off the boat and walk around the coastal cities and towns we visited. The ceremony when crossing the Arctic Circle was fun too. As a result, I now take a spoonful of cod liver oil every day! 8

13 How do you best bring home memories a Hurtigruten trip? Imagine for a second that you re already on the ship with your state-of-the-art camera. It does a lot of things: it measures, adjusts, and enhances. But there s one thing it does not do. Your camera isn t the photographer. You are. Stian Klo waiting for the perfect photo moment. So, how do you get the best photos? How can you capture even a glimpse of what you have experienced? Let s hear how renowned Norwegian photographer Stian Klo. Born and raised in Harstad, Norway, he knows just about every square foot of Lofoten. His pictures have been published worldwide for companies such as Apple, Instagram, National Geographic, and the BBC. NATURE ON MY DOORSTEP I m very fortunate to have nature literally at my doorstep. For me it s a dream come true to work up here. No two days are ever alike, Stian says. Sailing with Hurtigruten along the coast of Norway, it is all about the light, or the absence of it. Nothing remains the same for long. The light colors the landscape and villages in a thousand different shades. It wraps them in darkness, or lights them up; it renders them aglow in the sunset or throws long, dark shadows toward the shore. From Hurtigruten s ships you have a great opportunity to experience all of this! Stian says. RESERVATIONS BOOK ONLINE AT HURTIGRUTEN.US VISIT YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT 11

14 Growing up surrounded by this rugged, untouched landscape has nurtured in me deep affection and respect for our precious planet. Stian Klo LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN, where the sun never sets, truly lives up to its name May to July above the Arctic Circle. Intense daylight persists roundthe-clock, making every Norwegian night a wonder. This natural phenomenon is found only in latitudes north of the Arctic Circle, and south of the Antarctic Circle, between November and January. The Kjerkfjord, at 17:00. Bergsvågen, at 23:00. Høyvika, at 21:00. Sakrisøy, at 13:00. Unstad, at 01:10. 12

15 THE LIGHT OF THE ETERNAL SUN In summer, there are endless hiking possibilities for those feeling adventurous. It might also surprise you to hear that there are pristine, sandy beaches to explore in Arctic Norway. It never gets dark, and even at night you can see the sun hanging like a blazing beacon on the horizon, barely grazing the ocean before it begins to rise again. So much daylight might make you feel a bit jet-lagged, but most of all you simply feel happy and grateful for having experienced it, Stian says. The midnight sun occurs north of the Arctic Circle between May and July, so you can see it along much of Hurtigruten s route in the summer. Backlit pictures with the midnight sun can be challenging because you have bright light and shadows at the same time. The trick is to measure the light in between the brightest light and the deepest shadows, Stian advises. THREE SEASONS IN ONE When it comes to light and great photo opportunities, I ll let you in on a secret: The light is never as clear and bright as it is in April. No other time of the year has so much untouched nature. There is still snow on the mountains, the days are long, and you still get the dramatic red sunsets that are common in winter. There are also great differences between southern and northern Norway this time of the year. Taking a cruise with Hurtigruten is a smorgasbord of contrasts for photographers. You might travel summer weather in Bergen through spring farther north, and into full winter in Kirkenes, where you can still participate in wintertime excursions, Stian says. Your pictures will depict what seems like months of travel, not just a few days. Whatever you do, don t leave the deck when it rains. Rain, snow, and hail are great conditions for a good photo! If it s raining or snowing at night, turn on the flash on your camera or use the Slow Shutter Cam app on your iphone (or a similar app for other kinds of smartphones) to create streaks. Overcast days can create interesting cloud patterns, so even if the weather isn t perfect, go outside! RESERVATIONS BOOK ONLINE AT HURTIGRUTEN.US VISIT YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT 13

16 STIAN'S TIPS ON HOW TO TAKE THE best photos STATE-OF-THE-ART camera or the ubiquitous smartphone? Stian could go on for hours about the technical details for taking good photos. But the most important thing is to understand a few basic visual guidelines. COMPOSITION. Traveling along the coast, you will observe plenty of motifs, but a picture stands or falls by its composition. RULE OF THIRDS. This standard rule perceives images as divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal lines and two vertical lines. According to the rule, the important elements in the composition should be placed along these lines or at their intersections. OFF-CENTER. Scientific studies have shown that when looking at images, viewers eyes are usually and more naturally drawn to one of the line intersections rather than the center of the image. TILT OR NOT TILT? Generally speaking, avoid tilting the horizon in a photograph. It can be annoying to look at and it s not really dynamic. If you want to tilt the horizon, make it clear that it s intentional. The Hurtigruten CULTURAL CRUISES In spring you can join special cultural cruises that focus on the music, culture, art, and history of Norway. With several onboard activities and unique excursions included, these cruises provide you with authentic insight into Norwegian culture that few can offer. Read more about our cultural cruises on pages of this brochure and at Hurtigruten.us/ cultural-sailings The colors of autumn are amazing. NOTE: Using drones for photography (or any other reason) is not allowed FROM A DISTANCE. Photographing a distance, your picture may end up with nothing but background. Using perspective by including something in the foreground with a familiar size, such as people, ships, or houses. VANTAGE POINTS. Last, but not least, get to know the ship. Find the sweet spots for taking pictures. Look for options. A good composition is often about positioning oneself into the right place. Spring light Crisp autumn air 14

17 Autumn is also perfect for photography. Capture images of the coastline changing color one season to another. on Hurtigruten ships. COLORS OF THE COAST Then there is autumn, when you can watch the coastline change color one season to another, sometimes over the course of a single day. This is a great time for photography. The clear air enhances the red and yellow hues filling the mountainsides, hilltops, and woods. From a photographic perspective, the scenery is perfect, framed by an icy blue sky and the sprinkling of early snow on the highest peaks. Darkness comes gradually and the sun sets earlier and earlier. If you are lucky, the northern lights will appear and perform their act of visual magic, Stian muses. The easiest way to optimize subjects in your photos is to think carefully about lighting in the shot. If you want a photo of your ship to have the same depth of color you see in vacation brochures, take the picture the sunny side of the ship. Or, if you want to catch light glistening on the ocean, take the photo when the sun is low enough to reflect off the water. DEEP BLUE ARCTIC LIGHT During the polar nights, the sun completely disappears below the horizon, and only a vague glimmer of light separates day night. As a photographer, I really love what we call the blue hour, which is the short period of time on winter afternoons when the whole landscape appears bathed in a deep blue color. Icy blue sky As the light changes, the scenery changes too. If you stay out on deck for 30 minutes, the ocean, the mountains, the sky, and the landscape will change completely. Low light can be tricky to photograph, so capture your digital images in the RAW file format. This provides you the greatest flexibility in post-production and allows you to easily fix problems that would otherwise be harder, if not impossible, to correct if shooting in JPEG file format. Also bring along extra memory cards to accommodate the increased image file size, Stian suggests. RESERVATIONS BOOK ONLINE AT HURTIGRUTEN.US VISIT YOUR LOCAL TRAVEL AGENT 15

18 They re like a canvas of light being pulled across the sky, and the silence of this astral phenomenon can really be quite eerie. THE MAGICAL NORTHERN LIGHTS Winter comes, and so do the northern lights. It is like a canvas of light being pulled across the sky, totally quiet and almost eerie. Sailing with Hurtigruten provides the best chances to see this magical light show because out at sea you are far light pollution. Even though I have witnessed the northern lights many, many times, I am still mesmerized every time I see them, Stian says. When you are planning to photograph the northern lights on a Hurtigruten cruise, there are a few key elements to think about. Tripods can come in handy. Arctic light is perfect for natural-light portraits. Scenery can change in seconds. Be prepared. The northern lights are a breathtaking experience, but most pictures that try to capture them tend to look 16

19 Try to get away any source of light pollution. Since the ship is moving, you ll need to use a sturdy tripod or monopod and a fast lens. Use a high ISO value in order to keep the shutter speeds as fast as possible, set your lens to infinity focus, and fire away. If the image is too dark, increase the shutter speed or ISO value until you are happy with the exposure. Lastly, if you are shooting on the deck of a moving boat do not be afraid of raising the ISO value to maintain as fast a shutter speed as your camera allows. If you are anything like me, I would much rather have a sharp image with a little bit of noise in it than an unsharp image. The reason is simple. I can easily remove noise the image in post-production. This is also very important when you are photographing wildlife, for example. If your camera or lens has an IS (image stabilization) feature, be sure to use it when you are shooting with a handheld camera. This will result in sharper images and in the end, a content and happy photographer, Stian concludes. The Hurtigruten NORTHERN LIGHTS PROMISE If the spectacular aurora borealis doesn t appear during your 12-day roundtrip cruise between October 1, 2018, and March 31, 2019, we ll give you a COMPLIMENTARY 6-day cruise south or a 7-day cruise north. Read more about our Northern Lights Promise on pages of this brochure and at Hurtigruten.us/nlp STIAN S TOP NORTHERN LIGHTS photography tips Bring a tripod. Battling the Arctic climate, or high sea or winds, demands a sturdy tripod. For extended exposures on deck, a tripod is a must! It s vital that your camera, lenses, and filters are clean. Keep at least one lens cloth in every jacket so you can clean your equipment quickly. Storing your equipment in a water-resistant backpack is also a good idea. Have the right clothes, shoes, and gear! If you intend to shoot the northern lights all night long deck, it is imperative to wear proper i.e. warm clothing in winter. Bring extra batteries. When it s cold outside batteries lose their charge much quicker, even when they re inactive. Keep spare batteries in your clothing rather than in a bag, as your body heat will keep them alive much longer. FOR SMARTPHONE USERS I recommend using earphones for shutter release. If you plug them in and open the camera app and press the earphone s volume button, you ll be able to take photos without physically touching the smartphone. This method will introduce less camera shake and increase your chances of getting a sharp image. If you are using an iphone, download the Slow Shutter Cam app the itunes Store (or a similar app for other kinds of smartphones). By default, smartphones do not support long-exposure photography, but with this app there s a work-around. Open the Slow Shutter Cam app, go into settings, and set picture quality to the highest position (and turn on the volume shutter). alike. Try adding some visual context, or some scenery surrounding the night sky. For more tips on northern lights photography, please visit Hurtigruten.us/ photos 17

20 THE AWESTRUCK CHEF Hurtigruten takes full culinary advantage of sailing through one of the most fantastic natural pantries in the world. Our fleet is committed to serving fresh food, with a focus on locally produced ingredients and as few transportation miles as possible. EIVOR ERIKSEN JIMMY LINUS/TINAGENT JIMMY LINUS/TINAGENT I am in awe when working with our local Norwegian suppliers because they are so passionate about their produce. Meeting suppliers, hearing their stories, and knowing that their products are of the highest quality makes me feel both proud and humbled. Handling the products, each with its own unique characteristics, makes my job extra enjoyable, says Hurtigruten chef Eirik Larsen. Visiting 34 ports along Norway s coast provides the perfect opportunity to source fresh produce local suppliers every few hours, every day. At 15 of our ports, we procure seafood, eggs, poultry, dairy products, mustard, syrup, salt, mushrooms, berries, and vegetables. Everything is delivered directly to the ships, which signi f - i cantly reduces food miles and optimizes the use of local port facilities, he explains. Fresh local food enhances the travel experience, generates positive ripple effects in the local communities, and inspires great stories about the places we visit, Larsen says, conjuring an image. Imagine sitting in the restaurant eating lamb as we sail past the meadow where the sheep had grazed. The story behind the food is part of the culinary experience. Here s another example. During autumn we serve cloudberries out on deck. A lady in Finnmark handpicks and personally delivers the berries to our ships. Food experiences don t get more authentic than this. You can also buy some of these products in our onboard shops and take them home with you. That way, the experience lingers, he adds, smiling. 18

23 Friluftsliv the Norwegian longing to be outdoors Norwegians deeply yearn to be outdoors. A backpack, a sleeping bag, and a tent are among a Norwegian s basic and most valued possessions ones that enable them to fully enjoy Norway s magnificent nature. This passion for the outdoors and nature has a name: friluftsliv, which can be described as anything having to do with outdoor living and bonding with Mother Nature on both a physical and spiritual level. The concept is as important to Norwegians as the samba is to Brazilians, the sauna is to Finns, and pasta is to Italians. Why? Because Norwegians are brought up to believe they are happier outdoors. You might even say the need to be close to nature is part of a Norwegian s DNA. Friluftsliv pervades all Hurtigruten activities. We want to show you what Norwegians love and share it with you, and trust that you will feel at least a touch of that joy and passion on our excursions, perhaps while sitting around a campfire, hiking a trail, or even just enjoying a cup of coffee or tea together in the great outdoors. On a Hurtigruten cruise we guarantee a genuine Norwegian outdoor experience. We want to infuse you with the sense of friluftsliv when you join our expedition team for events and excursions. The purpose of our activities is not only to relay facts and facilitate learning, but to inspire joy in the activity itself. For you to fully enjoy the sensations of being outdoors feeling, observing, smelling, and listening and living completely in the moment.

25 A part of the Norwegian coast since 1893 revolutionary coastal connection to authentic, immersive travel and still calling on 34 ports along Norway s coast every day, all year round. In 1893, Captain Richard With s steamer, DS Vesteraalen, started a regularly scheduled service along Norway s coastline and Hurtigruten was born. The service had several week ly departures, first Trondheim to Hammerfest and later Bergen to Kirkenes in just seven days! No wonder this important coastal connection was called Hurtigruten (the fast route ). Now, nearly 125 years later, our 12 ships call at 34 ports along the Norwegian coastline every day, all year round. We are genuinely proud to share these individual destinations with our guests. We still have the same goal as in 1893, to be a reliable mode of transportation for both freight and passengers. In 2016, we had 330,000 local passengers, traveling shorter point-to-point stretches, and transported cargo equivalent to more than 10,000 large tractor trailers. Today we combine local transportation, cargo, and authentic, immersive travel into one unique service. Help us celebrate our 125th anniversary! On cruises April through December, 2018, all roundtrip voyage guests will receive a Hurtigruten 125 certificate the captain. On the evening of day 10 or 11, all guests will be invited to enjoy a special five-course anniversary dinner.

26 Leaving a smaller footprint hurtigruten strives to surpass simply doing business in compliance with rules and regulations. Our goal is to operate sustainable travel to polar waters in the most ethical manner. Being a world leader in exploration travel bears a great responsibility to protect nature. Traveling is a part of our modern lifestyle but has an environmental impact every trip leaves a footprint. Acknow ledging this is the first crucial step to achieving sustainability. Hurtigruten actively minimizes its impact on the natural environment through numerous measures. Since 2009, we have launched multiple energy-saving programs and have continuously introduced new practices to reduce our emissions. We operate a fleet of 13 purpose-built vessels for sailing along the Norwegian coast and beyond: in Antarctica, South America, and in Arctic waters, to name just a few. Our present energy-saving measures have helped us reduce annual emissions to 595 tons NOx and 19,840 tons CO2. Our environmental policy states that no heavy fuel is permitted on board, and our vessels operate only on the lighter SDM/MGO fuel types. We want to be a global front-runner and set new precedents in green maritime travel. Norwegian shipyard Kleven is currently building us two new, cutting-edge hybrid-powered expedition vessels featuring a vanguard propulsion system and a wake-piercing bow design. Delivery for the first ship is set for July

38 Crossing an invisible border Today we cross the Arctic Circle. This invisible border at North marks the southernmost point of the midnight sun, which shines 24 hours a day in summer. Rorbuer You see rorbuer, fishermens cabins, all along the coast, at the water s edge, often built on top of sturdy timber piles. They are reminders of the past, when tired, cold fishermen tied up at the wharf, offloaded their fishing gear, and found a place to sleep for the night. Many of these cabins now serve as cafés and small restaurants, or as vacation rentals. The chances to see the northern lights in winter are higher above the Arctic Circle where the Arctic begins. Norway s second-largest glacier, Svartisen, is located near the old trading village and port of call of Ørnes. Our journey continues along the beautiful Helgeland coastline, considered by many to be just as spectacular as Lofoten.

50 While you may reluctantly tear yourself away Lofoten, don t despair. The rest of the cruise is equally magnificent. A strange mountain in the sea Torghatten (at 845 ft above sea level) is famous for having a distinctive hole in the middle of it. The hole at 525 ft long, 115 ft high, and 65 ft wide was formed during the Ice Age. Softer rock gradually eroded while harder rock around the hole remained. The walk up to the hole takes about 20 minutes along a nature trail. HANS FÖLLER In the morning, we cross the Arctic Circle and head for the Helgeland coast, with its abundance of islands, islets, reefs, and impossibly steep mountain walls. This is the home of the unique Hestmannen rock formation, the peculiar Torghatten mountain with its distinctive hole, and the spectacular Seven Sisters mountain range.

In this legend, King Suliskongen had seven troll daughters, whom he kept under strict control. One night, when the king fell into a deep sleep, the seven maidens snuck out. Vågekallen, who was eager for a wife, was lying in wait. He chased the sisters, who fled southward down the coast. Several other trolls joined the chase to either capture or rescue the maidens. When night turned to day, the troll sisters and their pursuers were turned into mountains, as the sun turns trolls to stone. The seven maidens became the mountains that make the Helgeland coastline one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Port visits Please ensure that you are back in time to reboard the ship by the departure time. Even if your ship arrives late due to a delay, it will depart on time to keep the schedule. The departure time is displayed at the gangway. Please note that ships cannot wait for late passengers. If you miss your ship, you will need to arrange the trip to the next harbor by yourself and at your own expense. Safety It is a safety requirement that all Hurtigruten passengers attend a compulsory safety briefing in Bergen before the ship leaves port. The briefing is compulsory for all passengers including those who have traveled with Hurtigruten on previous occasions. After check-in and before embarkation, please go to the first floor of the terminal building, where the safety briefing will be given at intervals by Hurtigruten staff. This meeting lasts minutes, with the first taking place at 15:45 (embarkation is 16:00, also the first floor). The safety meeting 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 another emergency during the voyage. There will be an opportunity to ask questions if you have any concerns. When you have completed the safety briefing, please embark right away. The last briefing will take place at 19:30. Guests who arrive after this time will be required to attend a safety meeting on board at 20:00 before the ship leaves Bergen. Please also familiarize 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 you have any questions. 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 exiting coaches. Crampons and other winter clothing can be purchased in the ship s store. Do not carry large amounts of cash with you, and keep valuable items, including mobile telephones and cameras, out of sight. Ships with expedition teams From April 2018, nine out of 11 ships (except on MS Vesterålen and MS Lofoten) that travel along the Norwegian coast will have an expedition leader, an expedition team, and special activities on board such as lectures and presentations, on-deck guiding, gatherings, and environmental actions. These ships function as a base camp the place where you sleep, eat, and share experiences and they are the starting point for all our onshore activities. Shops Our onboard shops carry a selected range of high-quality knitwear, clothing, souvenirs, and gift items. A small selection of toiletries are also available for purchase. Shore excursions Pre-booking excursions (where possible) is recommended as only the remaining places will be sold on board. Excursions booked on board will be payable in Norwegian kroner and the price may vary as a result of exchange rate fluctuations. Pre-booking of shore excursions is possible until 4 weeks prior to departure. If you choose to pay by credit card, pre-bookings can be made until 2 weeks prior to departure. Excursions and their contents are subject to maximum/minimum number of participants, sailing times, and weather/local conditions. Smoking Smoking is only permitted in designated areas on the outside decks. Smoking is strictly forbidden when the ships are in port and fuelling. The staff will advise when it is not allowed to smoke outside. Stabilizers With the exception of MS Lofoten, all of our vessels are equipped with stabilizers. Telephone/mobile phones Private mobile telephones may be used on board although reception may vary. Check with your provider for costs when using your phone abroad. What to wear Onboard dress is informal. Although some passengers may choose to change for dinner, the dress code is casual rather than formal. The weather in Norway can vary during the course of each cruise and throughout 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 cruises, 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. Working ships 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. TO BOOK, CALL GO ONLINE AT HURTIGRUTEN.COM OR SEE YOUR TRAVEL AGENT 85

These include, but are not limited to, rough and unpredictable weather and seas; collisions of ships or other vehicles; illnesses caused by consumption of food and beverages; slip and fall due to the motion of the sea or other causes; lack of access to medical services; civil unrest or terrorism; evacuation of the vessel in an emergency; unpredictable behavior of animals in the wild; and breakdown of equipment. The customer warrants that the customer and any passengers for whom the customer is responsible are fit to travel, and warrants that the customer will only engage in those activities that are within the customer s physical ability and experience. The customer agrees to assume all the risks associated with sea travel and shore excursions. 17. NO LIABILITY FOR INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS You may be afforded the opportunity to contract with third parties acting as independent parties for the provision of shipboard personal services and shore excursions. You acknowledge that all shore excursions, tours, airline flights, ground transportation, and hotels are either operated by or are independent contractors. While Hurtig ruten shall be entitled to collect a fee for such services, Hurtigruten does not supervise or control the actions of these independent contractors, or make any representation either express or implied as to their suitability or competence. Hurtigruten, in arranging such services, does so only as a convenience for the customer and the customer is free to use or not use those services. Hurtigruten does not assume any responsibility for or guarantee performance of any such independent contractors. Hurtigruten shall not be liable for any negligent, grossly negligent, or intentional acts or omissions of such independent contractors, nor for any loss, damage, injury, or delay to the customer or the customer s property in connection with such services. The fees and costs for shore excursions, tours, airline flights, ground transportation, hotels, or any other services provided by independent contractors which the customer orders but does not use are neither refundable by Hurtigruten nor exchangeable. 18.

The customer shall be liable to and shall reimburse Hurtigruten for all damages or loss to Hurtigruten s property, including the vessel and its furnishings and equip ment, and for all damages or loss to independent contractors and other Hurtigruten passengers, caused directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, by any act or omission of the customer and those for whom the customer is responsible, whether willful or negligent.

MEDICAL CARE AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL CONDITIONS Prior to boarding, you must notify us of any medical condition for which you or any person accompanying you may require either medical attention or accommodation during the voyage, including but not limited to food allergies, or for which the use of a wheelchair or service animal is required. The customer assumes all risks arising out of the customer s personal medical condition prior to the voyage, whether or not that condition is disclosed to Hurtigruten. If you or anyone in your party requires the use of a wheelchair, you must provide your own. Hurtigruten strongly recommends that customers with physical disabilities or medical conditions that may require special assistance before, during, or after the voyage be accompanied by someone who is able to assist both ashore and at sea, as Hurtigruten is unable to offer such services. Medical facilities are not available aboard the ship, and there may be circumstances beyond Hurtigruten s control that may prevent or delay a medical evacuation or disembarkation. While a doctor or medical personnel may be on board the ship, these individuals are not agents or employees of Hurtigruten, but are independent contractors. Hurtigruten shall not be liable for any aspect of medical treatment provided to the customer, including, but not limited to, the consequences of any examination, advice, diagnosis, treatment, prognosis or other services that such doctor or medical personnel may furnish the customer. It may be necessary for the customer to obtain shoreside medical service during or after the voyage in countries other than the United States in which a different standard of medical care applies than to which the customer may be accustomed. Hurtigruten makes no warranty as to the quality of any such medical services. If a doctor or other medical personnel is aboard as an independent contractor of Hurtigruten, and if in the opinion of such personnel the customer needs medical attention, and if after embarkation the customer is unable to request or authorize such treatment, the customer hereby consents to treatment by such individuals, or by a physician designated by Hurtigruten. The customer shall be charged for, and shall pay for, medical services and for medication and supplies used for his or her medical treatment. The customer shall also be responsible for the payment of any medical expenses incurred ashore. Moreover, certain international or local safety requirements, standards and/or applicable regulations relating to design, construction or operation of the vessel, docks, gangways, anchorages or other facilities on or off the vessel may restrict access to facilities or activities for persons with mobility, communication or other impairments or special needs. The captain shall have sole discretion to determine whether physical conditions may prevent a customer going ashore in such situations. 20. TRAVEL DOCUMENTS Your specific passport and visa requirements as well as any other immigration requirements are your own responsibility and you must clarify this with the relevant embassies and/or consulates. We do not accept any responsibility in situations where you cannot travel because you do not meet the latest requirements. If you have made independent travel arrangements, you are responsible for boarding the ship in good time, regardless of any changes to the sailing times and dates or travel routes. We cannot refund monies paid to us, or a third party that acts on our or your behalf, or give compensation or make any payments when you, regardless of the reason, do not board the ship. Customers that disembark are responsible for boarding the ship again before departure the port. 21. VALIDITY OF BROCHURE Hurtigruten s travel brochure and the information contained in it, including prices and itineraries, is subject to change without notice at the discretion of Hurtigruten. Hurtigruten is not liable or responsible for any typographical errors and/or omissions. We reserve the right to at any time change the travel information and correct any mistakes in Hurtigruten s brochure. Should changes be made to the brochure before you have made your booking, we will attempt to advise you thereof before confirmation of bookings. 22. PROTECTION OF PRIVACY In order to process your reservation, Hurtigruten needs some basic information.
