A Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Cruise Ship
Norway
|
|
 You'll sail aboard one of the delightful coastal vessels with Hurtigruten.
These compact, sturdy ships transport local passengers and deliver
goods to communities tucked into the dramatically beautiful coastline.
With most of the population of Norway living near the sea, there's no
better way to get close to the local culture! You'll find that your
ship is surprisingly comfortable and well-appointed, with a panoramic
lounge, a dining room serving tasty Norwegian fare, and front and top
decks for viewing the passing scenery. Your cabin features two lower
beds and a private bath with shower. Hurtigruten's "contemporary ships"
(Nordkapp, Richard With, Nordlys and
Polarlys) are somewhat similar, but each ship has its own decor and
artist theme! |
