Free Upgrade to Outside Cabin Available on Select Sailings

     Seattle, June 2015 – Just in time to experience the splendor of summer and fall along the Norwegian coast, Hurtigruten is offering a deal on their award winning six-day Norwegian Coastal Voyages: get a free, pre-cruise hotel night and transfer plus reduced fares on all southbound sailings between June 1 and October 31, 2015. Rates range from $1,179 to $2,781 per person—a savings of up to 35% off the brochure rates. In addition, guests will receive free upgrades to an outside cabin on sailings departing June 8 and 9; July 1, 15, 20 and 21 and August 12 and 17, 2015.

     This special offer includes one free night at the Hotel Thon (or similar hotel) in the Arctic town of Kirkenes before the sailing, breakfast, and transfers to the ship; the six-day southbound voyage; full board, including breakfast, lunch and dinner (on ship); an English-speaking expedition leader on board; and entrance fee to the Hurtigruten Museum.

     The six-day Voyage South from Kirkenes to Bergen—a favorite among locals—includes a daylight sailing through the idyllic, mountainous Vesterålen and Lofoten Islands, highlighting the Seven Sisters mountain range and Torghatten. 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 cultural center of Bergen and Kirkenes, high above the Arctic Circle.

     Hurtigruten is a world leader in exploration travel, sailing to the most remote of destinations as well as year-round along Norway's coast. The company's fleet of intimate ships, which each carry 100 to 646 guests, allows travelers to enjoy the scenery and culture of the destination in a relaxed atmosphere.

     Additional information, brochures and reservations can be obtained from travel agents or Hurtigruten's visitor-friendly website, www.hurtigruten.us; by phone at 877-301-3117; or fax at 888-524-2145.  To order brochures 24 hours a day, call 800-582-0835.
