Breaking new boundaries –––– Hurtigruten is taking adventure travel into the next century and beyond. Our mission is to offer sustainable nature experiences at the polar edges of the world and at a growing number of unique destinations from pole to pole. We are an exploration company in every sense of the word. In this age of mass tourism, we offer unique experiences, and we are proud to provide explorers the chance to travel with meaning. Our journeys are created for adventurers that value learning and personal growth. Tap into our wanderlust and expertise – and let us immerse you in epic frontier adventures in places such as Svalbard, Greenland, Arctic Canada, Iceland, Alaska, South America, the Caribbean, Russia, the Northwest Passage – or embrace the Seventh Continent, Antarctica. Drawing on more than 125 years of pioneering history, our crews possess unparalleled field experience. Our Expedition Teams are composed of highly-trained professionals who host in-depth lectures and share specialist knowledge in our Science Centers. They also scout and arrange safe and engaging nature landings and activities such as kayaking, snowshoeing and wilderness camping. Our custom-built expedition ships offer a friendly small-ship ambience. We take you where the big ships can`t – closer to nature, with that special Hurtigruten edge. Life onboard is designed for premium comfort and relaxation – and our chefs serve delicious highend food with a modern twist, drawn from our Norwegian heritage. Hurtigruten is the world’s greenest cruise company. Sustainability is part of every detail of our operations. Our ultimate goal is to operate our ships completely emission-free. We have already introduced the first ever hybrid expedition vessels, and in a few years, our fleet will consist mainly of hybrid powered expedition ships and ships that are converted to LNG and biogas. We also witness the harm plastic waste has on nature and wildlife. Hence, we are the first cruise company in the world to remove all unnecessary single-use plastic across our entire fleet.

Giving back We are dedicated to supporting the local communities we visit, and to creating a positive impact everywhere we sail. By trading locally and sourcing services from local suppliers, we contribute to the welfare of communities on our routes.

––– Hurtigruten is proud to

provide eco-friendly expedition cruises for adventurous travellers around the world.

With 125 years of explorer heritage, Hurtigruten is dedicated to preserving and protecting the areas we explore. We observe wildlife at a distance to preserve natural behaviour, and do so with the utmost respect for their welfare and habitat. Through science, research and education, Hurtigruten and our guests contribute directly to increasing understanding and preserving animal life.

Sustainability is at the core of every part of the Hurtigruten operation and experience. CEO Daniel Skjeldam is personally engaged in the projects, such as removing single-use plastic.

Banning single-use plastic

Discover more about the Hurtigruten Foundation

Plastic pollution is the biggest single threat to our oceans. Hurtigruten is the first cruise line in the world to ban all unnecessary single-use plastic. As of July 2018, everything from straws and drinking cups to plastic bags have been removed and replaced with environmentally friendly alternatives made of biodegradable paper and sustainable materials.

Ambassadors and research

© MICHAEL BOUND

Our history and traditions call on us to explore in the most sustainable way possible, introduce new technology, advocate stricter regulations in pristine destinations, fight overtourism, and involve and support local communities. We have adopted the UN Sustainable Development Goals as our guide to offer you the greenest and most advanced expedition voyages on Earth. Read more at hurtigruten.co.uk/sustainability

Preserving our waters

Innovation has been at the heart of Hurtigruten for 125 years. In 2019, we will launch the world’s first hybrid powered expedition cruise ship, MS Roald Amundsen, followed by two more hybrid powered vessels in the coming years. By 2021, at least six of our ships will be operating on clean biogas, battery power and LNG. When you explore with Hurtigruten, you are joining the next generation of adventure travel.

Hurtigruten is actively advocating a ban on polluting and toxic heavy fuel oil (HFO) in all Arctic waters and along the entire Norwegian coast. The protection of vulnerable areas is an important part of the Hurtigruten philosophy. We support stricter regulations in pristine destinations, including limits on ships and shore visits.

Cleaning our beaches Much of the Earth’s plastic pollution ends up on our beaches. Hurtigruten has a long history of engaging and involving our guests in initiatives like beach clean-up activities. In addition to creating less plastic waste, we are committed to using every landing and activity as an opportunity to contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment.

For years, Hurtigruten has worked to raise awareness about the impact of marine pollution on our oceans. Seeing the ocean’s wonders firsthand on landings with our Expedition Teams, gives guests a fresh perspective on these issues, often inspiring and creating ambassadors for every destination on every cruise. Hurtigruten also contributes to important research by working with international science institutes, sharing vital data about Antarctic and Arctic environments.

Delicious food, with meaning At Hurtigruten, we give you great food and snack options every day of your cruise. Whether you fancy meat, fish or our popular plant-based dishes, you can rest assured that our suppliers are held to high sustainability and animal ethics standards. We work to reduce food waste and have introduced new workflows to make sure that we keep waste at a minimum. And of course, single-use plastic is a no-go on all Hurtigruten ships.

The Hurtigruten Foundation was established to ensure that our guests of tomorrow can enjoy the same meaningful travel experiences our guests do today. The Foundation supports a wide variety of projects, such as securing the polar bear population, fighting plastic and marine pollution, raising awareness and supporting local initiatives in the areas we explore. The Hurtigruten Foundation is funded through on board activities and donations.

A FOOTPRINT WE ARE PROUD OF

Making a difference

Hurtigruten believes in leading by example, and we encourage cooperation throughout the travel industry for a greener future. We have been actively involved in establishing the Association of Arctic Expedition Cruise Operators (AECO) for Arctic issues. Through the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), Hurtigruten works to secure environmentally sustainable tourism in Antarctica. 7


Life on board a Hurtigruten expedition cruise is famously relaxed. This atmosphere is reflected in our casual dress code, where there’s no need to change for dinner.

Our friendly and helpful Expedition Teams love to share their experiences, and make it a point to be available throughout the journey to welcome your questions. You’ll discover that striking up

conversations with your fellow explorers feels as natural as the landscapes around you. We find that Hurtigruten crew and guests all share a love of the natural world and a strong sense of community.

Our pioneering heritage creates a natural commitment to caring for the future of our planet. We’re proud to invite you to be part of the inaugural season of the greenest and cleanest expedition ships ever built. These new ships have been designed for unforgettable expeditions, embodying the spirit of Norwegian polar heroes, Roald Amundsen and Fridtjof Nansen. From the innovative hybrid engines that enable you to glide into pristine wilderness, to the elegant modern cabin furnishings, every detail is created with your adventure in mind.

SCIENCE CENTER The Science Center serves as the learning and social hub of your expedition. This is where you’ll find our expert Expedition Team, who host lectures, lead amazing landings, and answer all your questions during your fascinating journey.

Purpose-built for polar conditions that will be completely refurbished by 2020, MS Fram offers the very best in explorer capabilities and technology. With fewer than 250 guests on board, this expedition ship is ideal for the most adventurous travellers, exploring remote areas few others can reach. MS Fram offers a truly unique, friendly and casual atmosphere, with a strong focus on the thrill of discovery.

GOING ASHORE These are expedition cruises; where weather, tides, ice conditions and wildlife sightings can all affect the day-to-day activities and the itinerary, and our plans change on a regular basis. This means that each expedition with Hurtigruten is unique. We are experts in this polar wilderness and rest assured, we will take you to the best possible places.

MS Roald Amundsen (launch 2019) and MS Fridtjof Nansen (launch 2020), both with a capacity of 500 explorers, are the first of our cutting-edge hybrid ships.

MS Fram, a smaller ship purpose-built in 2007 for extreme conditions, carries only 200 explorers in Antarctica, offering a wider range of possible landing sites, as per IAATO regulations.

WILDLIFE Antarctica is home to rich biodiversity and the waters are teeming with life, from microscopic plankton to the world’s largest animal – the blue whale. There is no hunting in Antarctica, and the animals have no fear of humans.

PENGUINS Penguins species include Adélies, emperors, chinstraps, gentoos, kings and macaronis. You might see rock-hoppers on your way south.

SEALS Antarctic waters are rich with weddell, crabeater, leopard, fur and elephant seals.

BIRDS There are more than 40 species of flying birds in Antarctica. These include albatross, petrel, cormorant, skua, gull and tern.

WHALES The eight species most commonly found in Antarctic waters are: right, blue, sei, humpback, minke, fin, sperm and killer whales.

CHINSTRAP PENGUINS The fascinating chinstrap penguins are excellent divers, reaching depths up to 70 metres.

FUR SEALS are the smallest seal species, with adult females weighing only 150 kilos.

ALBATROSS Wandering albatross have the longest wingspan of any bird — up to 11 feet!

KILLER WHALES Almost 75% of the world’s killer whales, also known as orcas, live in Antarctica. 41

WILDLIFE

The wildlife in Svalbard has adapted to the harsh living conditions of the Arctic. Many of the species have to endure extreme cold, periods with little food and a long winter without any sun.

POLAR BEARS Polar bears are the iconic symbol of Svalbard.

WALRUS Both males and females have large tusks that are used for defence, cutting through ice and getting out of the water.

BIRDS About thirty species of birds are found on Svalbard, most of them migratory. In summer there are about 20 million birds in the area.

SVALBARD REINDEER They are the smallest subspecies of reindeer. Males average 65–90 kg in weight, females 53–70 kg.

WHALES Blue, humpback, fin, white and minke whales are the most common species around Svalbard.

SEALS Ringed seals are the most abundant seal species in Svalbard. They grow to about 130 cm and weigh between 50-100 kg.

ARCTIC FOX The tiny Arctic fox is common over most of Svalbard. A pair of foxes stay together their entire lives.

DOLPHINS White-beaked dolphins are quite common in the North Atlantic.

October-February

NORTHERN LIGHTS SEASON

All year round

Unique history Hurtigruten is the original Svalbard adventure company. We pioneered the Sportsman’s Route to Svalbard in 1896 and built the first hotel on the archipelago, near the site of today’s Longyearbyen. Drawing on this long experience, we offer an ex-

citing choice of land based adventures every day of the year. Our experience allows us to bring you closer to the wilderness than anyone else. Land based exploration With Hurtigruten Svalbard, you can explore Arctic beauty from Longyearbyen 365 days a year.

This colourful Arctic town serves as a great takeoff point for wilderness excursions with our experienced guides, who lead dog sledding, ice cave tours, hikes, kayak trips, boat excursions and ski adventures.

The experience of viewing the Aurora Borealis in pristine Arctic wilderness will leave you breathless. Mid-November to Januay is best for viewing, while earlier and later in the season you can enjoy short, pastel-coloured days. Surprisingly, the climate here is milder than many traditional Northern Lights destinations, due to the Gulf Stream. Every tour is an adventure on Svalbard. Combine your Aurora

The beauty of the Arctic never sleeps Each of the three polar seasons is unique, and each has so much to offer. Our expert guides are ready to lead you to the very best of this great wilderness.

March-Mid May

LIGHT WINTER SEASON

Mid May – September

SUMMER SEASON The Midnight Sun shines bright in the sky, and the thawing fjords and mountain ranges awaken from their snowy slumber. Millions of migratory birds travel here to enjoy the never-ending days, and we welcome you to do the same. The crash of calving glaciers and calls of nest-

ing birds fill the air as our knowledgeable guides take you into the wilderness. Hike to magnificent mountains, sail under cliffs filled with teeming birdlife, or search for tiny Arctic flowers in the tundra. Summer in the High Arctic should not be missed.

When the sun returns to the Arctic, the atmosphere changes and the landscape opens up for adventure. The pristine white plains, valleys and mountains wait to be explored, and create a spectacular backdrop for every excursion. Snow and sun are in focus in this season, and from early April there is no night at all. The long days invite you out into the wilderness, where you

The Arctic region is a difficult environment for humans, but ideal for a wide variety of colourful wildlife. The famed polar bear roams in Svalbard and parts of Greenland. Arctic foxes hunt in the hills, and walrus, seals and whales dive and surface in the icy waters near Svalbard, Iceland and Greenland. On our expedition cruises, we always keep watch for exciting appearances of these magnificent creatures.

Hurtigruten’s Arctic cruises take you to Svalbard, Greenland and Iceland to explore fascinating local culture and to discover the extreme beauty of the Far North. Iceland offers unmatched variety, from

waterfalls to hot springs to volcanoes, while Greenland’s powerful raw beauty is unforgettable, and Svalbard shines as the crown of Arctic Norway.

It’s easy to socialise or just enjoy time on your own. The food on board is fantastic! The views from the ship are simply overwhelming and the lectures in the Science Center were very well prepared.

Lecturer/ Marine ecologist

Sabine has worked as an editor for two literature and cultural magazines and is today working as a freelance journalist. Her work focuses on culture, literature and travel, mainly in Iceland and Greenland. For two years she was in charge of the Goethe Institute in Reykjavík. Her topics are mainly culture, social development and the history of Iceland and Greenland.

Growing up on the western coast of Norway, Marie became fascinated with the sea and the earth itself, which resulted in a master’s degree in earth science where she focused on sea level changes after the last ice age. During her studies, Marie became both concerned and very interested in how climate change affects our planet and especially the impact of raised sea levels.

Steffen used to be a police officer in Berlin, Germany. He went back to school and studied geology and with a fresh degree, applied to Hurtigruten as a ship lecturer. Ever since, Steffen’s bond to the polar regions and Hurtigruten have grown stronger. When he sees that sparkle in the eyes of departing guests, he knows the team’s efforts were well spent.

Expedition Leader Ralf gained a PhD in outdoor education at Edinburgh University and has since worked in a range of diverse roles such as ranger, Outward Bound instructor, lecturer as well as trekking and sea kayak guide in national parks in Svalbard and North-East Greenland.

Born in Scotland, Colin has degrees in marine biology, oceanography and estuarine ecology. He has worked as an ecologist, oceanographer and coastal geomorphologist for 40 years, published many scientific papers and is a fellow of the prestigious Linnean Society of London.

WILDLIFE

In a terrain dominated by ice and extreme conditions, wildlife in Greenland & Iceland have adapted to survive and thrive despite the odds. Here are some of the species we may encounter:

MUSK OXEN Musk oxen are found in the area around Ivittuut, where more than 10,000 animals graze in a green mountain landscape surrounded by ice.

WHALES Species of whale include humpback, killer, minke, beluga, blue, sperm, fin, Greenland and narwhal.

GREENLANDIC DOG Sled dogs arrived in Greenland along with the earliest settlers more than 4,000 years ago.

REINDEER All along the west coast, as well as along the east coast there are herds of reindeer.

SEALS Harbour, hooded, bearded, Greenland and ringed seals are among the most common species.

ARCTIC FOX The Arctic fox can be found throughout both Greenland and Iceland. It was the only mammal on Iceland before the Vikings settled there over 1000 years ago.

BIRDS The birds in Iceland and Greenland are diverse and vary from small puffins and buntings to the enormous eagles.

ICELANDIC HORSE The Icelandic horse, developed and bred locally, is a tiny and hardy species, with a long lifespan.

Why discover Russia with Hurtigruten?

FRANZ JOSEF LAND, RUSSIA © CHRISTOPHER MICHEL / CIRCLE: © HELFRIED WEYER

Far beyond the ordinary Be among the rare few to explore above 80 degrees north in remote Franz Josef Land as we take you to truly isolated and rare natural beauty. Join great explorers In 1894, explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen left their ice-bound ship to try for the North Pole, eventually finding safety in Franz Josef Land. Today, Hurtigruten follows in their footsteps.

Russia & Franz Josef Land

Amazing wildlife The far north of Russia is one of the world’s greatest havens for Arctic wildlife. Franz Josef Land hosts more walrus and as many polar bears as Svalbard, but receives far fewer visitors. Join our Expediton Team as we scout for rare wildlife in their natural habitat. Landings and cruising Hurtigruten offers exciting on and off ship activities as part of our Russian adventure, including small boat cruising, landings and onboard lectures. Discover FRANZ JOSEF LAND with us

WILDLIFE Franz Josef Land has no permanent human settlements and is a rich haven for High Arctic wildlife on land and at sea. Roughly 80% of the islands are covered with ice year-round.

POLAR BEARS The polar bear population in Franz Josef Land lies within the Barents Sea sub-population, and numbers cirka 2,650 bears.

WALRUS Walrus have been internationally protected since 1952 and their numbers have since been on the rise.

BIRDS Birdlife is dominated by seabirds such as fulmars, kittiwakes, Brünnich’s guillemots, black guillemots and little auks.

ARCTIC FOX The population of Arctic foxes here typically have their territories near seabird habitats.

WHALES Minke, humpback and beluga whales are commonly seen around Franz Josef Land.

SEALS Harp seals are most commonly found here, although they breed in the White Sea. Slightly less common is the bearded seal.

KING CRAB King crabs are found in the frigid waters of Finnmark and can grow up to 1.8 metres in width.

REINDEER There is a variety of reindeer species in the area, some featuring spectacular antlers.

WILDLIFE The wildlife in the Northwest Passage have adapted to the harsh living conditions in the Arctic. Many of them have to endure extreme cold, periods with little food and a long winter without any sun.

POLAR BEARS Most polar bears are born on land, but spend most of their lives on the sea ice, which is abundant here.

WALRUS The walrus has played a prominent role for the indigenous Arctic peoples, who hunted it for meat, fat, skin and tusks.

SEALS Bearded, hooded, harbour, harp, grey and ringed seals are the most commonly seen in this region.

BIRDS There are 270 different bird species registered in the area, most common are geese, ducks, waterfowl and ptarmigans.

MUSK OXEN The Inuktitut name for musk oxen, “umingmak”, means “the bearded one”.

CARIBOU Caribou are able to outrun the Arctic wolf, their main predator, and are good swimmers.

ARCTIC HARE The Arctic hare is well adapted to living in cold environments. Their thick, warm fur is also used as camouflage.

WHALES There are 14 different species of whale in the Northwest Passage. The narwhal’s horn makes it easy to recognise. 121

Gjøa Haven honours the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who wintered here from 1903 on the Gjøa expedition. Fort Ross is a trading post established in 1937. There are two small huts ashore that are maintained by the Canadian Coast Guard. Beechey Island is closely linked to the history of exploration of the Northwest Passage. The most famous voyage is the British expedition led by Sir John Franklin. On the south coast of Devon Island lies Dundas Harbour, an abandoned settlement with an old Royal Canadian Mounted Police camp and several archaeological sites. The picturesque hamlet of Pond Inlet, also called ‘Mittimatalik’ in Inuktitut, is a traditional Inuit community. Pond Inlet is surrounded by mountain ranges, with several dozen glaciers, scenic fjords and inlets, ice

The unforgettable Illulissat Icefjord has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason. This is the location of dramatic and hauntingly beautiful icebergs that were born in the Jokabhavn Glacier, one of the most productive glaciers in the Northern Hemisphere. It is here, just outside of the town of Ilulisat, that you can get close to the massive ice that makes its way down the fjord before entering Disko Bay.

6 sep Sisimiut (Half day) We call on this modern settlement with ancient traditions, situated 40 km north of the Arctic Circle, to enjoy the quaint local museum, hike in the hills and shop for local handicrafts.

Born and raised in Barcelona, Arnau studied history at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where he got a master’s degree in Near Eastern Archaeology. After 10 years of field experience, he joined Hurtigruten in 1999. As a licensed mountain guide, he enjoys sharing his passion for history, travel and mountaineering.

As an undergraduate in geology, Bob started working on oceanographic expeditions. The fieldwork for his PhD was conducted along the coast of Alaska and in the Bering Sea. In his 20 years with the US Geological Survey, he has been involved in research projects that have taken him from Indonesia to the Ivory Coast.

Thomas moved to northern Norway to study for a year. That first year subsequently turned into several years studying sports, friluftsliv (outdoor life) and Arctic nature guiding. He later worked in Svalbard as a guide for dogsledding, kayaking, skiing and glacier exploration. It’s what he enjoys doing most! His hobby is kayak polo.

Alaska & Canada have wildlife in abundance and are a haven for birds, fish, bears, whales, caribou, moose, deer, wolves and many other species. Here are some of the animals we hope to see:

BEARS Four bear species can be found here; grizzly, brown, black and polar bears.

MOOSE Male Alaskan moose, also called giant moose, can stand over 2.1 m at the shoulder, and weigh over 635 kg.

BIRDS Alaska & Canada provide important habitats to more than 500 birds, including four different types of eagles.

CARIBOU Caribou are the only members of the deer family in which both sexes grow antlers.

BISON Thanks to one of the world’s greatest conservation projects, wood bison have returned to Alaska.

WHALES Eight species frequent these waters: beluga, humpback, grey, orca, bowhead, blue, right and minke whales.

DEER Alaska & Canada are home to several deer species. They are good swimmers, and can cross the channels between islands.

FISH Salmon are part of the lifeblood of Alaska, and viewing the salmon runs is a popular activity.

Medical questionnaire mandatory In accordance with Hurtigruten AS requirements, all travellers to

Antarctica, North East Greenland, Russia and the North-West Passage and on all voyages crossing the Atlantic Ocean must complete a confidential medical declaration form, signed by a doctor, stating that they are fit to travel.

Boarding may be denied if these forms are not presented at time of embarkation. Passport and VISA requirements It is the sole responsibility of the guest to identify and obtain all required travel documents and have them available when necessary. A passport is the only valid identification. For some destinations, your passport must be valid for more than six months after you return to your home country. At check-in on board, passports will be collected to clear immigrations and customs. It is the responsibility of each passenger to ensure they comply with any visa travel document requirements at the time of travel. Please pay especially attention to the ESTA/ ETA regulations for our North America and Canada voyages as well as to the mandatory visa requirement for our voyages with MS Spitsbergen to Russia. Please check our website for the entry requirement information.

Daily Programme The daily programme is shown on the on-board TV system with a list of port calls, landings, lectures, meals and activities on board. All our published plans are subject to change. Drones Please note the use of passengeroperated drones is not permitted during your voyage. This is for general safety as well as the protection of the vulnerable wildlife and other passengers’ personal security. Electricity The plugs in your cabins are all 220V/50hz. Suites have 110V for shavers. The plugs are continental two-pin plugs, which may require an adapter. Entertainment An expedition cruise with Hurtigruten is designed to maximise your experience of the places we go to. On days when we are not landing, we encourage you to spend as much time as possible out on deck. Join our educational talks and lectures at different locations on board. A travel experience is often much richer if you possess knowledge and understanding about the nature, wildlife, culture and history of your destination. Our Expedition Team will make sure you are well prepared for the experiences ahead of you. They will also recap and answer questions after landings. You will not find bingo, arcade games and entertainment theatres often present on conventional cruise ships. Our aim is to get you closer to unique environments and let you share the experience with your fellow

travellers. Occasionally there may be some light entertainment on board in the evenings. There is no entertainment on board MS Nordstjernen. Equipment Rentals On many of our expedition cruises, we land in areas with snow and wet, muddy ground. The weather may be foul and cold. This is part of being an explorer. On some of our itineraries, we will ask you to use our boots since we have made sure they are rinsed and declared clean from seeds or other biological material that could, unintentionally, lead to the spread of invasive species into fragile environments. If you require a pair of boots on your expedition cruise, we will lend them to you, for free, for the duration of the voyage. We carry sizes from 32 to 50. If you need a smaller or larger size than this, we encourage you to bring your own on itineraries calling at Svalbard, Antarctica, Arctic Canada, Iceland or Norway. Expedition Team The Expedition Team is composed of the Expedition Leader, the Assistant Expedition Leader, the Expedition Coordinator, plus several lecturers and experts. Your Expedition Leader will regularly update you on the progress of the trip as well as the different points of interest and wildlife sightings that may occur. Internet Usage Wi-Fi is available throughout the ship. Note that there is limited connectivity, and that both internet and telephones from time to time will be out of range due to the ship’s location. Due to

capacity limitations, the ships’ Wi-Fi is limited to browsing and not streaming. Language The working language on board is English. Announcements and written information are also provided in German. Announcements may be presented in French and Chinese on selected departures. In order to accommodate lectures in languages other than English, we will offer the possibility for an ‘inear’ translation to German.

On-board photographer Our on-board photographer (not available on MS Nordstjernen) will assist guests to use their photo equipment and help improve their photo skills. To enhance the experience of the places we explore, we actively use photography with our guests. A slideshow presented on board before the end of the cruise, and made available for all guests in an Expedition Log Book, includes a selection of photos as well as the daily programmes, Expedition Team biographies and maps from the voyage.

Laundry A laundry service is available on board at a low cost or free of charge to Suite guests, except MS Nordstjernen. No self-service or dry cleaning is possible.

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. 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 OR 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 any member of your party is prevented from travelling, that person(s) may transfer their place to someone else, subject to the following conditions: that person is introduced by you and satisfies all the conditions applicable to the Arrangements; we are notified not less than 7 days before departure; you pay any outstanding balance payment, an administration fee of £100 per person as well as any additional fees, charges or other costs arising from the transfer; and the transferee agrees to these booking conditions and all other requirements applicable to the holiday booking. 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 will apply in order to cover our estimated costs. Otherwise, no refunds will be given for passengers not travelling or for unused services. 7. IF YOU CANCEL 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 email. 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. NORWEGIAN COASTAL VOYAGES: When the Charges as a % cancellation of the total letter is received holiday cost by us before (excl. insurance departure premiums) 60 or more days Retention of deposit 42–59 days 30% 28–41 days 60% 14–27 days 90% Less than 14 days 100% Explorer voyages: When the cancellation letter is received by us before departure 90 or more days 60-89 days 28–59 days 15–27 days Less than 14 days

applicable excess. Insurance premiums are not refundable. 8. IF YOU CANCEL DUE TO FORCE MAJEURE 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 which significantly affects 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 compensation. Please see clause 10 for more information on Force Majeure. 9. 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 cancel or make alterations to your booking 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 (“Significant Change”) to your confirmed arrangements. Significant Changes include the following: Change of UK departure airport. Note: A change from one London airport to another is not considered a Significant 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.

Charges as a % of the total holiday cost (excl. insurance premiums) 20% 40% 70% 90% 100%

If you have to cancel for a reason covered by your travel insurance you may be able to reclaim the cancellation charges, less

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 we will notify you as soon as possible and you may either:

(a) accept the Significant Change and the contract between us will then be varied to incorporate the change; or (b) take alternative arrangements altogether (subject to availability). If the alternative arrangements selected are a lower price than those originally confirmed the difference will (if already paid) be refunded to you; or (c) withdraw from the booking completely in which case we will, as soon as possible, refund all money paid to us. You must inform us of your decision as soon as reasonably possible and not later than 7 days of being informed of the alteration. If you choose (a) or (b) above, you will receive as compensation a credit towards the cost of your arrangements, or any alternative selected, as per the amount shown in Scale A below. If you choose (c) we will pay you compensation shown in Scale B below. In all cases we will have no liability for any other or greater compensation or for expenses or losses incurred. Period before Credit/ Compensation departure date per fare paying notification passenger given by us (excluding infants)* 0–7 days 8–14 days 15–28 days 29–42 days 43–59 days

Scale A £50 £40 £30 £20 £10

Scale B £25 £20 £15 £0 £5

*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 a change that is not a Significant Change; where we make a Significant Change or cancel your arrangements more than 60 days before departure; 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 10). Please note: where arrangements with a higher price than the original arrangements are offered by us and accepted by you, the difference in price will be deducted from any compensation payable. In no case will we pay compensation if the arrangements offered by us and accepted by you are of a higher price than those originally booked by you and in the same location where no additional payment is made by you. If we become unable to provide a significant proportion of the arrangements that you have booked with us after you have departed, we will make alternative arrangements for you at no extra charge and, if appropriate in all the circumstances, will pay you reasonable compensation.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS A flight or ship delay does not constitute a change to holiday arrangements. 10. FORCE MAJEURE Except where otherwise expressly stated in these Booking Conditions we are unable to accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligation is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances amounting to ‘force majeure’ i.e. any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) could not, even with due care foresee or avoid. Such events may include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war or civil commotions, riots, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather, fire, flood, drought, government action, airport and port regulations and closures, technical transportation problems, maintenance to vessels, scheduling of transport and similar events outside our control. A flight or ship delay does not constitute a change to holiday arrangements. 11. 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. Please note that we offer an Alternative Dispute Resolution service through our ABTA membership. Please see clause 12 for further details. You can also access the European Commission Online Dispute (ODR) Resolution platform at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/ odr/. This ODR platform is a means of registering your complaint with us; it will not determine how your complaint should be resolved. 12. ABTA We are a Member of ABTA, membership number V7545. We are obliged to maintain a high standard of service to you by ABTA’s Code of Conduct. We can also offer you ABTA’s scheme for the resolution of disputes which is approved by the Chartered Trading Standards Institute. If we can’t resolve your complaint, go to www.abta.com to use ABTA’s simple procedure. Further information on the Code and ABTA’s assistance in resolving disputes can be found on www.abta.com.

13. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (i) We will accept responsibility for those arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an ‘organiser’ under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 and the EU Directive 2015/2302 on Package Travel (and subsequent UK regulations) as set out below. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our suppliers perform or arrange your contracted holiday arrangements negligently, taking into consideration all relevant factors, 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. (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 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 twice 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 13 (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 11 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) Please note, we cannot accept any liability for any damage, loss or expense or other sum(s) of any description: (a) which on the basis of the information given to us by you concerning your booking prior to our accepting it, we could not have foreseen you would suffer or incur if we breached our contract with you; or (b) relate to any business. (x) We will not accept responsibility for services or facilities which do not form part of our agreement or where they are not advertised in our brochure. For example any excursion you book whilst away, or any service or facility which your hotel or any other supplier agrees to provide for you. 14. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES AND 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. 15. 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

The air holidays in this brochure are ATOL protected by the Civil Aviation Authority. Our ATOL number is 3584. Please see booking conditions for more information. ATOL protection only applies to holidays that include international air travel, and therefore does not apply to all holiday and travel services shown in this brochure. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking.

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. 16. TIMINGS, DELAYS & OTHER TRAVEL INFORMATION Timings are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed, even if shown on tickets. They 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 Regulations 1992 and the EU Directive 2015/2302 on Package Travel (and subsequent UK regulations, 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. Please note the existence of a “Community list” (available for inspection at https://ec.europa.eu/ transport/modes/air/safety/air-ban_en) detailing air carriers that are subject to an operating ban with the EU Community. 17. PROMPT ASSISTANCE If the contract we have with you is not performed or is improperly performed

Hurtigruten is also a member of ABTA. UK & Ireland and is bonded accordingly. This ensures the protection of your monies, once paid to Hurtigruten, for all holidays contained in this brochure that are not ATOL protected, for example voyage only. It also covers your repatriation to the UK in the unlikely event of our insolvency.

as a result of failures attributable to you or a third party unconnected with the provision of the arrangements, or as a result of failures due to unusual and extraordinary circumstances, and you suffer an injury or other material loss, 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 with distance communications and finding alternative travel arrangements. Where you experience a delay which is not owing to any failure by us, our employees or sub-contractors, this prompt assistance is likely to extend to providing help in locating refreshments, accommodation and communications but not paying for them. Any airline or other transport supplier may however pay for or provide refreshments and/ or appropriate accommodation and you should make a claim directly to them. Subject to the other terms of these conditions, we will not be liable for any costs, fees or charges you incur in the above circumstances, if you fail to obtain our prior authorisation before making your own travel arrangements. 18. VALIDITY OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS These terms and conditions are valid from January 2018 and the details and prices may be superseded. Changes may occur after the date of release , and some hotel/ship facilities may become unavailable. While this website features photography and descriptions of local wildlife, there is no guarantee of sightings.
