Live Hurtigruten broadcast - 134 hours!

Hurtigruten have been on my radar for a year or two now. I simply love everything this companies marketing department do. They converted the top couple of decks of their mail ships into passenger decks and started selling cruises to see the northern lights, (for those of you who hadn't realised Hurtigruten go further north than any other cruise line so they are perfect for the 'light hunters' out there looking to see the Aurora Borealis).
But the latest marketing ploy is simply genius!

A first hand review of ...........Hurtigruten

One of my past passengers recentley just came back from a cruise on Hurtigruten, (a cruise line specalising in cruises above the Northern circle for anyone who hasn't read my previous blogs on this cruise line), and they wrote this review when they returned which they have asked me to share with you.
If anyone else has ever sailed with Hurtigruten you'll have to let me know if their comments match up with your experiences. Do you agree with them? Or have you anything further to add for anyone thinking of booking a Hurtigruten cruise?

Top ten reasons to book with...........Hurtigruten

You may have read a few posts I've written about Hurtigruten before. They're very much a 'niche' market cruise line, sailing people up beyond the Northern Circle.
To learn more about them you can click here, here or here to read my old posts. In them I've tried to describe who Hurtigruten are and what they have offer. Today I'm going to really try and hammer it home with a top ten list of activities/excursion you can enjoy whilst cruising with Hurtigruten.

What are the Northern Lights?

Anyone who reads my blog regularly, (and if you don’t, why not?), will know that I have been writing a lot recently about a company called Hurtigruten. They’re a Norwegian cruise line offering cruises above the Arctic Circle. I’m not, however going to be talking about them today. For anyone who does want to read my blogs on them just click here or here.

What I am going to be talking about is the Northern Lights. It has been impossible to write about Hurtigruten without mentioning the Northern Lights over and over again. They’re one of the main reasons for cruising above the Arctic Circle, but in response to an email I received this morning, today I will be trying to answer the question:
What are the Northern Lights?

Hurtigruten – What can you expect.

I wrote a blog recently about a company I’ve been hearing more and more about recently. Hurtigruten. Since then I’ve received a flurry of questions about this company and the cruises they operate. It’s for this reason that I have decided to start a series of blogs that will take on all aspects of Hurtigruten. Todays blog is going to be about why you should pick Hurtigruten in the first place and what you can expect to do whilst on the cruise.

How far North can you really sail?

A lot further than you used to be able to.

You may have seen this company advertising on TV lately.

Hurtigruten.

 The reason I started investigating them is that a customer of mine wanted to book a cruise that would take him as far north as he could go, well above the Arctic Circle, to give him the best chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis as we could. The best cruise line I could find to take him was Fred Olsen, but they were only operating one cruise that far north.

And it was sold out.

For 2012!
