You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to climb Everest to plant a flag. With Hurtigrutenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Explorer fleet, you can realise dreams large or small, from setting foot on untouched wilderness, to simply trying something new. Join us! Let us help you connect with your inner explorer on an unforgettable journey.

Check out our EXPEDITIONS

–– Dear explorers It is our privilege to offer unforgettable wilderness and cultural adventures to explorers all over the world. We sail from pole to pole, in both polar and warm waters. For nearly 125 years, Hurtigruten have sailed along the rugged and beautiful Norwegian coast. Our highly experienced captains and crew also know the waters around Spitsbergen, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and Antarctica like their own backyards. Now they will take you safely to exotic waters in the Caribbean and South America as well! Sailing in pristine environments comes with a big responsibility. That´s why we´ve invested in green technology for the future, such as our newest expedition ship, MS Roald Amundsen, which joins our fleet in 2018. This vessel is designed as the world´s most modern explorer ship, with focus on maximum safety, guest comfort, energy efficiency and environmental protection. But what is most remarkable about MS

Roald Amundsen is the ships´s new hybrid battery technology, which allows us to explore untouched wilderness more quietly and cleanly than ever before. Every ship in our explorer fleet is a comfortable basecamp at sea, tailor-made for you to connect with your inner explorer. And you will be able to do so in the footsteps of the great explorers of the past. In 1911, Roald Amundsen sailed south with the original Fram and became the first person to reach the South Pole. After a dramatic race, he planted his flag at the world´s most southerly point. Now, I encourage you to plant your flag. Where do you want to explore? DANIEL SKJELDAM CEO of Hurtigruten January 2017

More than 200 excursions to choose from © Hans Möller - Guest image

Premium dining drawn from Norwegian heritage

The seas we sail are inspiring. Our excursions are exciting. We work hard to be sure that your culinary journey is just as satisfying. 12

––––– EVERY EXPEDITION NEEDS AN OASIS; a place of comfort with delicious food to help you relax and savour the adventures of the day. Hurtigruten hosts a choice of premium dining options on our Explorer fleet, with menus drawn from our rich tradition of fine Norwegian dining.

On MS Roald Amundsen, we will offer imaginative and exciting cuisine that updates classic Norwegian offerings, like this delicate crumb cake highlighted by local spices.

–––––– OUR SKILLED CHEFS see to it that your meals are culinary journeys worthy of the magnificent scenery passing by the top deck windows. They take pride in creating original dishes that reflect our Norwegian heritage, while using local products to add spice and colour to expertly prepared cuisine.

No matter which ship you choose, large or small, Hurtigruten brings you a world of culinary excellence.

–––––– THE CHOICE IS YOURS. A delicious variety of options are on offer, as our chefs create a combination of buffets, 3-7 course meals, and, on many ships, an exciting à la carte menu.

While other expedition ships have top-deck deployment for landing craft, we use our mid-level deck. This makes it much easier and safer to enter the landing craft.

Masters of polar waters 14

–––––– WE EXPLORE untouched wilderness with full respect for the power of nature. That’s why safety is our highest priority. Our crew are experts in extreme conditions, with years of experience and deep knowledge of the environment. They know these waters better than anyone, and are there to guide you safely through every adventure.

Safety is our top priority

–––––– WE DESIGN OUR SHIPS with your safety and comfort as our guiding principles. That’s led to some innovations that no one else can match. For example, unlike other ships, our tender boats launch from the mid-deck. This creates safer and smoother embarkations and, best of all, cuts down waiting time for boarding. That means less time in line, more time in the wild.

All Hurtigruten captains have sailed more than 200 expeditions with 51,000 hours in polar waters. © Simon Bottomley

–––––– OUR EXPEDITIONS are led by great mariners with extra ordinary levels of experience. All Hurtigruten captains have sailed more than 200 expeditions, with more than 51,000 hours in polar waters. On average, that makes for an amazing 92,000 kilometres of sailing every year. Our ice-classed ships are fully equipped for the challenges of the most extreme conditions.

EXPLORING NEW FRONTIERS

Introducing MS Roald Amundsen launch: 2018

MS ROALD AMUNDSEN brings the outdoors into every cabin through large windows, and guests can enjoy the pool, Jacuzzi, and comfortable public areas as they recap the day’s adventures.

––––– WE´VE MADE THE LARGEST INVESTMENT in our history to create adventure travel that is quieter, smoother and cleaner. In 2018, MS Roald Amundsen will be launched as a state-of-the-art expedition ship, designed to serve as your advanced basecamp at sea.

The new craft is specially constructed to be able to explore challenging polar waters and reach exciting new destinations while offering unparalleled comfort for our guests. Features of construction like exclusively outside cabins, three speciality restaurants, a large gym, pool, and Jacuzzi will make MS Roald Amundsen an unforgettable destination in itself. BEST OF ALL, MS Roald Amundsen represents a major step forward for sustainable travel. By incorporating cutting-edge hybrid technology, we will be able to glide almost silently on electric power into pristine nature. And we will cut emissions by a full twenty percent.

Three of Hurtigruten´s explorer ships take you as close as possible to Antarctic wildlife and untouched wilderness. Each of our vessels offer a fascinating and varied schedule of landings, all designed to create unforgettable memories. MS Fram will carry only 200 guests, while MS Roald Amundsen and MS Midnatsol will carry 500 each. This relatively small passenger size allows Hurtigruten explorer ships to make landings in some of the most spectacular scenery of the area, following IAATO regulations. MS Fram is a category 1 vessel, offering the widest possible range of landing sites. Nature is in command in Antarctica, so all our landings are subject to change due to weather and ice conditions.

FALKLA ND ISLANDS –––––– HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR LANDINGS IN ANTARCTICA DECEPTION ISLAND

CUVERVILLE ISLAND

PETERMANN ISLAND

This distinctive ring-shaped volcanic caldera has a navigable opening into the flooded interior. We go ashore in the natural harbour, which includes Whalers Bay, home to an abandoned whaling station as well as a derelict British base.

Cuverville Island boasts the largest known colony of Gentoo penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula. We will sail through the narrow Errera Channel, to and from Cuverville, and see the icebergs that have become trapped and grounded in the nearby shallows.

Located in the picturesque Penola Strait, this is a great spot for iceberg and whale spotting, with views across the channel to the Antarctic Peninsula.

HALF MOON ISLAND

WILHELMINA BAY

Enjoy a stay on this staggeringly photogenic island. We will explore the serrated and creviced cliffs that are home to a large colony of chinstrap penguins and several species of seals and sea birds that regularly visit the island.

Come ashore and enjoy dramatic scenery and sculpted ice, from tiny floating pieces to large bergs. The bay is a choice feeding area for whales and seals and served as a rich hunting ground for whalers of the past.

YANKEE HARBOUR

NEKO HARBOUR

Early sealers used Yankee Harbour on Greenwich Island as a frequent base of operations. It provided a natural safe haven. One of the main sights here is the large colony of Gentoo penguins, estimated to be 4,000 breeding pairs.

The Gentoo penguin colony lies nestled in Andvord Bay, surrounded by the mountains and high glacier walls of the peninsula. Neko is one of the rare places in this area where we actually land on the Antarctic mainland.

ANTARCTIC SOUND

PARADISE HARBOUR

The huge ice shelves of the Antarctic continent give birth to mile-long tabular icebergs. The strong currents of the Weddell Sea bring these massive flat-topped bergs north into the Antarctic Sound at the northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula, and we will hopefully enjoy this breathtaking sight as we sail through.

Paradise Harbour offers another rare opportunity for a mainland landing and some of the finest vistas the peninsula has to offer, as well as a research base and penguin colonies.

BROWN BLUFF

This 2,440ft high, rust coloured bluff is volcanic and the beach is peppered with lava “bombs.” The wildlife we will see up close includes Adélie penguins, Gentoo penguins and kelp gulls.

DETAILLE ISLAND

Here at the former Station W, scientists performed surveys in geology and meteorology. This base had to be evacuated when sea ice and weather made relief by ship impossible. HORSESHOE ISLAND

Horseshoe Island is an important example of a relatively unaltered and completely equipped British scientific research station of the 1950s. It was established in March 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey as Station Y, and was closed in August 1960. STONINGTON ISLAND

Tourists rarely visit this rocky island, but you will have the chance to see the abandoned English and American research stations and museum. Our landing sites: Find out more at hurtigruten.co.uk

LEMAIRE CHANNEL

This 11 km long and 1.6 km wide channel is one of the most beautiful passages in Antarctica, offering spectacular views and amazing photo opportunities.

We will try to land on Cape Horn, conditions permitting. We then cross the infamous Drake Passage, and excitement builds as we approach the great wilderness of the White Continent. The first signs may be floating ice, or penguins in the water. DAY 6-12: Impossible to Describe

Someone once said, “If you can describe Antarctica with words, you´ve probably never been there.” The landmass of Antarctica holds some 90 % of the world’s ice, and in winter, sea ice doubles the continent’s size. In summer, Antarctica is a breeding ground for millions of penguins, whales and seals. The Antarctic Treaty dedicates Antarctica to peace, science and tourism. No human activity is allowed to alter the perfect natural balance. We leave

nothing but footprints and take nothing but pictures! Unpredictable weather, wind and ice challenges may change landings and force re-routings, but we also take advantage of the often ideal conditions – spending hours ashore, kayaking, hiking or cruising amongst huge pods of whales. DAY 13: History and Wildlife

After exploring Antarctica, we sail to The Falkland Islands. Our lecture series at sea focuses on the islands´ dramatic history and diverse wildlife.

DAY 14-16: Edge of Antarctica

MS Roald Amundsen will be a truly comfortable base camp at sea, and the stunning scenery will be reflected in a rich and stylish interior design. Scandinavian materials from nature, such as granite, oak, birch and wool will be used to create relaxed and well-designed cabins with views and welcoming public areas. On board recreation and dining will be top quality; with three swimming pools and fine Norwegian dining on offer. Best of all, MS Roald Amundsen is the first expedition ship ever to sail with electric hybrid technology. This will reduce fuel consumption approximately 20 percent and enable the ship to sail on 100% electric power for up to 30 minutes, allowing you to experience the wonder of Antarctica in near-total silence.

MS SPITSBERGEN MS SPITSBERGEN

MS Spitsbergen is named after the Arctic crown of Norway, where Hurtigruten has a long history in the Svalbard-Spitsbergen wilderness, reaching all the way back to 1896 and the Sports Route. MS Spitsbergen was completely renovated in 2016, with high standards and a fresh Scandinavian design, both in the cabins and the public areas. This upgrading has included changes that lighten the craft’s environmental footprint, making her even better suited to sailing in challenging polar waters.

MS Fram is the finest Expedition ship imaginable. As an explorer, you need a basecamp for adventure that is comfortable, of course, but is also housed on a very capable ship. MS Fram offers “All Oceans Capabilities” with the latest safety, performance and environmental technology. 127 comfortable cabins, many “Superior” class, provide fine lodging for all. Spacious outside decks grant access to the bow, providing an amazing viewpoint for spotting marine wildlife. We are proud of our art initiative, employing local artists to help transform MS Fram into a moving masterpiece. After taking on the required safety equipment for an exciting excursion, meet up in our “Tender Lobby” to smoothly embark on small boats for transport to adventures on shore.

MS NORDSTJERNEN

MS Nordstjernen (North Star) is named after that famous point in the night sky which has served as a navigational aid for mariners all the way back to the Vikings. Built in 1956, renovated in 2000 and again in 2014, she is ideally constructed for Arctic sailing. Passengers experience an aura of nostalgia as they sail aboard MS Nordstjernen, harkening back to a gracious era of sea travel in her dining room, bar, café, panorama lounge and library. Lodgings are cosy, most with upper and lower berths. Rooms and decks are fringed in rich Norwegian wood, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION Brochure Accuracy

Children

The information and descriptions contained in this brochure have been checked by our staff and/ or local agents to ensure they are correct. However, changes may occur after the date of publication and there may be occasions when Hurtigruten or local suppliers may withdraw some facilities. Many areas we visit are very remote and affected by prolonged cold weather or difficult terrain. Provision of facilities will be subject to local conditions.

Hurtigruten AS cannot allow children under the age of 5 to travel with us to Antarctica. For safety reasons, children under 12 years of age will be considered for participation on each landing.

Communication to the ship All cabins on the MS Fram, MS Midnatsol, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Spitsbergen have a telephone. Both Wi-Fi and telephone lines will from time to time be out of range due to the vessel’s location.

Changes to the itinerary and excursions Every voyage is unique. All routes and excursions are provisional and subject to change as weather, sea and ice conditions may affect the itinerary. Excursions may also be subject to minimum/maximum numbers. Hurtigruten AS reserves the right to change the itinerary and the content of excursions without prior notice (see terms and conditions).

In ports where tidal conditions or other circumstances require use of a portable gangway, or during landings with tender boats, it is not possible to use/take wheelchairs.

Environment and green navigation We ask you to respect the saying: “Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures”.

Medical declaration form In accordance with Hurtigruten AS requirements, all travellers to Antarctica, North East Greenland 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. This form will be sent to you in advance of travel, and the form must be filled out, brought on board and personally delivered to the doctor upon embarkation. Boarding may be denied if these forms are not presented at time of embarkation.

Medical facilities There is an English-speaking physician and nurse on board

PacK like an explorer

There are several things to remember and bring along when you are coming on an expedition with us. To make packing a bit easier, we have drawn up a pack list, covering both polar areas and expeditions in warmer waters, such as the crossings along the South American coast and in Europe. If you should forget something, don‘t worry! On board all of our ships you will find a shop with a wide range of clothes and practical items.
