What is Hurtigruten doing?

- We’ve been operating for more than 125 years and we’ve learned from our past experiences in challenging situations. We are continuously updating our response to make sure our guests, crew and staff can travel with confidence, Skjeldam says.

Hurtigruten’s strict and wide range of coronavirus measures ensures that the company policy at all times meets or exceed all industry and regulatory standards and requirements.

This is made possible thanks to the small size of Hurtigruten’s ships, combined with the professionality, dedication and skills from our teams of medical experts, industrial hygienists and other hard-working colleagues on board and on shore that oversees the current situation.

Hurtigruten has been following the advice of expert authorities including the World Health Organization (WHO), Center For Disease Control (CDC), Norwegian Institute for Public Health (FHI), CLIA, other government agencies, and local health authorities in the areas it operates, since the outbreak began.

- “We care” is one of our core values. And make no mistake: The health and safety of you, your fellow explorers and our crew is our number one priority. We are working tirelessly with all relevant authorities and experts to ensure that you can enjoy your upcoming Hurtigruten adventure, Skjeldam says.
