Hurtigruten has announced a special window of savings for booking its award-winning ‘Hurtigruten Route’ – up to 1/3rd off standard fares through Feb. 8. A peak season, six-day August voyage along Norway’s iconic fjord-indented west coast, taking in 34 ports of call between the Norway/Russia border town of Kirkenes and the UNESCO-listed harbor city of Bergen, starts at $1,595 per person, double vs. the standard rate of $2,381.

The savings is available on all cabin and suites on all 6-, 7-, 11- and 12-day sailings in 2014. Savings vary by date, length of voyage and cabin/suite selection.

The calendar is also available at http://www.hurtigruten.us/5daysale/.

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 for more than 120 years, Hurtigruten’s fleet of modern ships offers a unique glimpse into Norwegian

culture. The incredible diversity of ports offers Hurtigruten’s guests a wealth of experiences and an ever-changing landscape of small fishing villages in the rugged Lofoten Islands; Art Nouveau Ålesund, the medieval Viking capital of Trondheim; and Norway’s “Paris of the North,” Tromsø. A variety of 50 excursions are available for booking on board – and range from the cultural (A Taste of Vesterålen and Trondheim with Nidaros Cathedral) to the more adventurous (Dog Sledding in Tromsø and Snowmobiling in Lapland).
