Activities

Enjoy a lecture on the ship's deck or in one of the conference rooms and learn something new.

Food & Drink

Cuisine that brings you closer Your voyage with us is also a culinary journey to experience the food of the Norwegian coast.

It is not common practice to tip on Hurtigruten ships on the coastal voyage, but if you feel that crew members should be rewarded for providing exceptional service, tip boxes are placed in the restaurant together with envelopes.
