Hurtigruten Offers Special Pricing on Norwegian 'Voyage + Air' Packages

Recognized as 'The world’s most beautiful voyage,' by Lonely Planet, Hurtigruten’s modern ships sail along a route honored twice by National Geographic Traveler as the “Best Destination in the World.” A staple of Norwegian culture since 1893, Hurtigruten’s fleet of modern ships offers a unique glimpse into Norwegian culture as they transport guests and locals alike along Norway’s scenic fjord-indented west coast, stopping at 34 ports of call between the UNESCO-listed harbor city of Bergen and the Norway/Russia border town of Kirkenes.

Select six- and seven-day departures have combined voyage discounts with preferred rate air and hotel for nine-day southbound packages and ten-day northbound packages. Departing between November 2013 and May 2014, packages are priced from $2,499 per person, double – amounting to savings of $816 to $1,631, depending on ship category and departure date selected.
