Hurtigruten’s new Alaska and Arctic dates promise a northern hemisphere summer full of adventure, and offer travellers another chance to secure a place on an expedition of a lifetime.

Hurtigruten has released new dates for the 2022 northern hemisphere summer showcasing the High North’s extraordinary wilderness destinations and legendary expedition voyages. The first round of a series of new expedition dates for 2022 and 2023, Alaska, Iceland, Greenland and the legendary route of the great explorers – the Northwest Passage – are now available to book for 2022.

“These voyages take guests to some of the High North’s most beautiful destinations sailing on our premium, spacious, small, sustainable ships that visit hard to reach places and small communities other ships can’t access. The ongoing evolution of our travel experiences creates unique and truly authentic experiences for our guests and a genuine alternative to traditional travel styles in these regions,” says Damian Perry, Managing Director Hurtigruten Asia Pacific.

Hurtigruten’s expeditions offer premium nature-based experiences and rich cultural immersion in the world’s most extraordinary wilderness areas: A world-class Science Centre is the hub of every ship, with expert Expedition Teams sharing their knowledge and leading activities and adventures in every destination and contemporary Scandinavian design, wellness and fitness centres, and three restaurants featuring modern Scandinavian cuisine all offer a relaxing environment to mingle with like-minded adventurers.

“Many travellers have been forced to postpone travel due to Covid-19, and our analysis of booking trends indicate a strong demand for these unique expeditions as guests seek to lock-in one of these once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Travellers who book now for 2022 will have the peace of mind that they won’t miss out,” says Perry.

ABOUT OUR INTINERARIES

ALASKA – Discover the wild northern frontier
Alaska is the ultimate place for adventure. Off the beaten track is the general rule and remote is at its core. It’s a stunning and wild land with vast stretches of wilderness, fjords, glaciers, icebergs – and national parks the size of nations. Be prepared for an epic journey.

NORTHWEST PASSAGE – Exploring the last frontier
The Northwest Passage is legendary. For centuries, attempts were made to cross the passage. None were successful and many lives were lost until Norwegian Roald Amundsen finally succeeded in 1906. Travelling through the Northwest Passage is only for the most adventurous explorers, and a unique experience. Our journey follows in Roald Amundsen’s wake aboard our new expedition cruise ship, featuring premium comfort.

ICELAND – Where Ice Meets Fire
Iceland is the top of many bucket lists with its breathtaking, supercharged natural wonders. The combination of volcanic drama, history and rugged scenery make Iceland a truly memorable destination. Explore hot springs, geysers, waterfalls and glaciers as we discover the hidden secrets of the land of the Vikings. Thanks to the Gulf Stream, Iceland enjoys a cool, temperate maritime climate.

GREENLAND – A Remote and Amazing Icy Wonderland
Greenland is beautiful from its glaciers to its bright green meadows. It’s unlike any landscape you’re likely to have seen before. In a place without a real road system, one of the best ways to get to know the island is by ship, which can bring you to places you never imagined you’d see and acquaint you with people you had no idea you’d ever meet. In Greenland, Inuit culture is thriving and adapting to the changing times, and Greenlanders are a famously friendly people.
