The original Norwegian "Hurtigruten" cruise company has more recently split into two distinct operations. Hurtigruten ... mainly for Norwegian coastal voyages, and HX Hurtigruten Expeditions ... for worldwide expedition cruises. Furlongs Travel works with both companies.

Richard and Dawn have sailed on the majority of Hurtigruten/HX ships, and know their operations well, so are able to pass on valuable insider tips and help you plan the best holiday based on our first-hand experience. Perhaps you know the cruise or destination you wish to book but would like some guidance about what time of year is best, or where preferred cabins and suites are located. Perhaps you could benefit from what to include pre- and post-cruise, or which optional excursions are "must do", versus which can be avoided. Or perhaps you are new to expedition cruising, and have plenty of questions before you commit? We are ready to help.

Hurtigruten UK offer Norwegian Coastal Voyages, Northern Lights and Astronomy cruises, Svalbard and North Cape itineraries, and a selection of escorted tours.

HX Hurtigruten Expeditions offer expedition cruises led by knowledgeable naturalists, scientists, and historians, with a selection of stunning itineraries visiting Alaska, Antarctica, the British Isles, Europe, the Galápagos Islands, Greenland, Iceland, the Northwest Passage, Arctic Canada, Norway, South America, Svalbard, and more.

Richard and Dawn have sailed with Hurtigruten/HX over three decades and have visited ALL these destinations. We are therefore well-placed to answer any questions you may have and assist in your expedition cruise planning.

As with all our services, there is no extra cost involved. We will also ensure you benefit from all up-to-date Hurtigruten/HX offers and savings, including all available loyalty bonuses.
