March


–– Dear explorers It is our privilege to offer unforgettable wilderness and cultural adventures to explorers all over the world. We sail from pole to pole, in both polar and warm waters. For nearly 125 years, Hurtigruten have sailed along the rugged and beautiful Norwegian coast. Our highly experienced captains and crew also know the waters around Spitsbergen, Iceland, Greenland, Canada, and Antarctica like their own backyards. Now they will take you safely to exotic waters in the Caribbean and South America as well! Sailing in pristine environments comes with a big responsibility. That´s why we´ve invested in green technology for the future, such as our newest expedition ship, MS Roald Amundsen, which joins our fleet in 2018. This vessel is designed as the world´s most modern explorer ship, with focus on maximum safety, guest comfort, energy efficiency and environmental protection. But what is most remarkable about MS

2

Roald Amundsen is the ships´s new hybrid battery technology, which allows us to explore untouched wilderness more quietly and cleanly than ever before. Every ship in our explorer fleet is a comfortable basecamp at sea, tailor-made for you to connect with your inner explorer. And you will be able to do so in the footsteps of the great explorers of the past. In 1911, Roald Amundsen sailed south with the original Fram and became the first person to reach the South Pole. After a dramatic race, he planted his flag at the world´s most southerly point. Now, I encourage you to plant your flag. Where do you want to explore? DANIEL SKJELDAM CEO of Hurtigruten January 2017

Meet our

EXPEDITION TEAM –––––– OUR EXPEDITION TEAMS love adventure. We´ve brought experts in marine biology, arctic survival, oceanography, photography, and more on board to help make your journey an unforgettable experience. But our teams offer more than a deep understanding of the areas we explore. First, they are teachers, who love to pass on what they´ve learned. They are also adventurers, who thrive in the wilderness. And they are hosts who share our dedication to creating a relaxed and educational atmosphere for all our guests. Our expedition teams will welcome you to exciting excursions and fascinating lectures. They look forward to helping you get the best out of every destination.

What she likes best about her job: “I get to work in a team where we love our work, and we get to create fantastic nature experiences in some of the world’s most pristine areas. The days are long, and we work hard, but it’s easy to be energised when you love what you do”. © ØRJAN BERTELSEN

––––– EVERY EXPEDITION NEEDS AN OASIS; a place of comfort with delicious food to help you relax and savour the adventures of the day. Hurtigruten hosts a choice of premium dining options on our Explorer fleet, with menus drawn from our rich tradition of fine Norwegian dining.

On MS Roald Amundsen, we will offer imaginative and exciting cuisine that updates classic Norwegian offerings, like this delicate crumb cake highlighted by local spices.

–––––– OUR SKILLED CHEFS see to it that your meals are culinary journeys worthy of the magnificent scenery passing by the top deck windows. They take pride in creating original dishes that reflect our Norwegian heritage, while using local products to add spice and colour to expertly prepared cuisine.

While other expedition ships have top-deck deployment for landing craft, we use our mid-level deck. This makes it much easier and safer to enter the landing craft.

Masters of polar waters 14


–––––– WE EXPLORE untouched wilderness with full respect for the power of nature. That’s why safety is our highest priority. Our crew are experts in extreme conditions, with years of experience and deep knowledge of the environment. They know these waters better than anyone, and are there to guide you safely through every adventure.

Safety is our top priority

© KARSTEN BIDSTRUP

©<Multipleintersectinglinks>

–––––– WE DESIGN OUR SHIPS with your safety and comfort as our guiding principles. That’s led to some innovations that no one else can match. For example, unlike other ships, our tender boats launch from the mid-deck. This creates safer and smoother embarkations and, best of all, cuts down waiting time for boarding. That means less time in line, more time in the wild.

–––––– OUR EXPEDITIONS are led by great mariners with extra­ ordinary levels of experience. All Hurtigruten captains have sailed more than 200 expeditions, with more than 51,000 hours in polar waters. On average, that makes for an amazing 92,000 kilometres of sailing every year. Our ice-classed ships are fully equipped for the challenges of the most extreme conditions.

Three of Hurtigruten´s explorer ships take you as close as possible to Antarctic wildlife and untouched wilder­ness. Each of our vessels offer a fascinating and varied schedule of landings, all designed to create unforgett­able memories. MS Fram will carry only 200 guests, while MS Roald Amundsen and MS Midnatsol will carry 500 each. This relatively small passenger size allows Hurtigruten explorer ships to make landings in some of the most spectacular scenery of the area, following IAATO regulations. MS Fram is a category 1 vessel, offering the widest possible range of landing sites. Nature is in command in Antarctica, so all our landings are subject to change due to weather and ice conditions.

FALKLA ND ISLANDS –––––– HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR LANDINGS IN ANTARCTICA PETERMANN ISLAND

DECEPTION ISLAND

CUVERVILLE ISLAND

This distinctive ring-shaped volcanic caldera has a navigable opening into the flooded interior. We go ashore in the natural harbour, which includes Whalers Bay, home to an abandoned whaling station as well as a derelict British base.

Cuverville Island boasts the largest known colony of Gentoo penguins in the Antarctic Peninsula. We will sail through the narrow Errera Channel, to and from Cuverville, and see the icebergs that have become trapped and grounded in the nearby shallows.

HALF MOON ISLAND

WILHELMINA BAY

Enjoy a stay on this staggeringly photogenic island. We will explore the serrated and creviced cliffs that are home to a large colony of chinstrap penguins and several species of seals and sea birds that regularly visit the island.

Come ashore and enjoy dramatic scenery and sculpted ice, from tiny floating pieces to large bergs. The bay is a choice feeding area for whales and seals and served as a rich hunting ground for whalers of the past.

YANKEE HARBOUR

NEKO HARBOUR

Early sealers used Yankee Harbour on Greenwich Island as a frequent base of operations. It provided a natural safe haven. One of the main sights here is the large colony of Gentoo penguins, estimated to be 4,000 breeding pairs.

The Gentoo penguin colony lies nestled in Andvord Bay, surrounded by the mountains and high glacier walls of the peninsula. Neko is one of the rare places in this area where we actually land on the Antarctic mainland.

ANTARCTIC SOUND

PARADISE HARBOUR

The huge ice shelves of the Antarctic continent give birth to mile-long tabular icebergs. The strong currents of the Weddell Sea bring these massive flat-topped bergs north into the Antarctic Sound at the northeast of the Antarctic Peninsula, and we will hopefully enjoy this breathtaking sight as we sail through.

Paradise Harbour offers another rare opportunity for a mainland landing and some of the finest vistas the peninsula has to offer, as well as a research base and penguin colonies.

BROWN BLUFF

This 2,440ft high, rust coloured bluff is volcanic and the beach is peppered with lava “bombs.” The wildlife we will see up close includes Adélie penguins, Gentoo penguins and kelp gulls.

Located in the picturesque Penola Strait, this is a great spot for iceberg and whale spotting, with views across the channel to the Antarctic Peninsula. DETAILLE ISLAND

Here at the former Station W, scientists performed surveys in geology and meteorology. This base had to be evacuated when sea ice and weather made relief by ship impossible. HORSESHOE ISLAND

Horseshoe Island is an important example of a relatively unaltered and completely equipped British scientific research station of the 1950s. It was established in March 1955 by the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey as Station Y, and was closed in August 1960. STONINGTON ISLAND

Tourists rarely visit this rocky island, but you will have the chance to see the abandoned English and American research stations and museum.

LEMAIRE CHANNEL

This 11 km long and 1.6 km wide channel is one of the most beautiful passages in Antarctica, offering spectacular views and amazing photo opportunities.

19/20 days MS ROALD AMUNDSEN

2 departures: October 2018 and March 2019

Explore isolated villages in Patagonia set amidst magnificent nature before sailing south to the wonder of Antarctica. 1

Discover Antarctica, Patagonia and the Chilean Fjords DAY 1: Pacific Jewel

DAY 6: Isolated Village at the End of a Fjord

The expedition begins in the poetic city of Valparaíso, where you board MS Roald Amundsen.

Sailing through Patagonia, we visit the remote village of Puerto Edén in Bernardo O’Higgins National Park. This village is only accessible by water, and hosts excellent hiking trails. The 250 inhabitants include the 15 remaining members of the indigenous Kawéskar people.

DAY 2-3: Sailing South

We make our way along the Pacific coast of Chile. The expedition team starts their lecture programme, preparing you for the adventures to come. DAY 4: Cosmopolitan Castro

The island city of Castro is known for its colour­ful “palafitos”, wooden houses mounted on stilts along the shoreline. We also visit the Iglesia San Francisco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the Churches of Chiloé, and nearby Chiloé National Park. DAY 5: Waters of Patagonia

The expedition continues south through Patagonian waters and iconic Andean seascapes.

28

DAY 7-8: Torres del Paine National Park

See the lofty rock formations called “Torres del Paine” (Towers of Paine). Experience azure lakes, trails meandering through emerald forests, roaring rivers, and a radiant blue glacier. DAY 9: Natural Paradise

Drake Passage, where two oceans meet, on our way to Antarctica. DAY 12-16: White Continent

The infinite white wilderness of Antarctica will fill you with unforgettable impressions. Kayak on untouched waters amidst icebergs, hike snowy paths to spectacular viewpoints, hear glaciers calve and penguins squabble. DAY 17-18: Crossing the Drake Passage

After four unforgettable days in Antarctica, we safely sail back across the infamous Drake Passage.

The Chilean fjords´ deep channels and mountains plunging into icy seas leave a profound impression on visitors. This wild and remote area seems almost untouched by humans.

DAY 19: End of the Expedition

DAY 10-11: Cape Horn and Drake Passage

We offer one southbound (20 days) and one northbound (19 days) expedition. The northbound journey has an inversed itinerary and starts with an overnight in Valparaíso.

We sail into open waters and land on Cape Horn if conditions allow. We continue across

Sadly, every good expedition must end. We arrive in Punta Arenas, where you connect to your flight to Santiago de Chile.

DAY 3: Astounding Chilean Fjords

Cruise through the Beagle Channel, with its fjords and high mountains plunging straight into the sea. DAY 4-5: Cape Horn and

Drake Passage

DAY 13: History and Wildlife

At 56 degrees south, Cape Horn is the southernmost point in South America. Ships once passed here to get from one side of the Americas to the other. We will try to land on Cape Horn, conditions permitting. We then cross the infamous Drake Passage, and excitement builds as we approach the great wilderness of the White Continent. The first signs may be floating ice, or penguins in the water.

After exploring Antarctica, we sail to The Falkland Islands. Our lecture series at sea focuses on the islands´ dramatic history and diverse wildlife.

DAY 6-12: Impossible to Describe

Someone once said, “If you can describe Antarctica with words, you´ve probably never been there.” The landmass of Antarctica holds some 90 % of the world’s ice, and in winter, sea ice doubles the continent’s size. In summer, Antarctica is a breeding ground for millions of penguins, whales and seals. The Antarctic

DAY 2: Expedition Embarkation

Fly to Punta Arenas and board the MS Roald Amundsen.

Treaty dedicates Antarctica to peace, science and tourism. No human activity is allowed to alter the perfect natural balance. We leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but pictures! Unpredictable weather, wind and ice challenges may change landings and force re-routings, but we also take advantage of the often ideal conditions – spending hours ashore, kayaking, hiking or cruising amongst huge pods of whales. 4

DAY 1: Exciting and Diverse

DAY 6-14: Endless White Wilderness

The capital of Chile is exciting and diverse. See Andean glaciers at the city’s edge, skyscrapers and colonial architecture. Your adventure starts with an overnight hotel stay in Santiago.

When opportunities arise, we will launch our kayaks and take you on unforgettable hikes to explore this pristine, white continent. We may visit Deception Island, where you can hike, and Half Moon Island, a photographer’s paradise. Count on seeing an astonishing number of icebergs and penguins. Join an ice cruise in small boats on Lemaire Channel and set foot on the Antarctic mainland at Neko Harbour. And we will attempt to cross the Antarctic Circle and make our southernmost landing at Stonington Island, if conditions allow. This is an adventure few others can claim!

DAY 2: Embarking on the Expedition

Fly to Punta Arenas and board MS Roald Amundsen for our Antarctic expedition. DAY 3: Chilean Fjord, Cruising through the

Beagle Channel

The infamous Drake Passage is where two oceans meet and is known as either Drake Lake or the Drake Shake, depending on sea conditions. Join our presentations on the history and wildlife of Antarctica. As we cross the Antarctic Convergence, the air becomes crisper and colder. Antarctic penguins begin to appear in the water, and the first icebergs drift by. DAY 4-5 Cape Horn Landing and Drake Passage

Our journey takes us below the Antarctic Circle. We will land at Cape Horn if weather permits.

with red phone booths, buses and English pubs. Stroll the streets of Stanley or join an excursion to explore surrounding wilderness and wildlife. The Falklands are known for fantastically clear blue skies, vast open spaces, and stunning white sand beaches. See sheep grazing alongside immense colonies of albatross and rockhopper penguins. DAY 19: Magellan Strait

Completing the loop through Magellan Strait, we recap everything experienced during the expedition. DAY 20: Journey’s End

DAY 15: Recapping the Journey

We arrive in Punta Arenas for the flight back to Santiago de Chile.

After several amazing days in Antarctica, we summarise everything experienced so far. Spend some time on deck looking for wildlife and join lectures to learn more about our next destination - the Falkland Islands. DAY 16-18: Ye Olde England

Having just visited Antarctica, it may seem surreal to see a town resembling rural England,

you set foot on this endless expanse of snow and ice. Get close to penguins and seals, and enjoy close encounters with other wildlife and glaciers. Visit volcanic Deception Island, photogenic Half Moon Island, and Cuverville Island, home to the largest known colony of Gentoo penguins. See the stunning scenery at Paradise Harbour, which received its name from whalers during the last century. See Wilhelmina Bay, which is often called “Whale-mina Bay” because of the large number of humpback whales spotted here in the month of December. We offer numerous activities to ensure that you experience Antarctica in the best way possible. One day it may be going ashore to see penguins and hear the crack and roar of glaciers. The next day, it might be cruising between sea ice looking for leopard seals. Another day may entail kayaking or a long hike. For our younger

Oslo

NORWAY DAY 1: Oslo/Longyearbyen

The expedition starts in Oslo, where you can spend the day visiting museums, parks and viewing architecture. Late in the evening we depart on a flight to Longyearbyen, where you spend the night. DAY 2: Longyearbyen

Tour the unique Arctic town of Longyearbyen on your own before lunch, then enjoy a tour of the city and surroundings before boarding MS Spitsbergen. As the ship sails out the Isfjord, view huge U-shaped valleys carved out of the mountains by giant glaciers that covered the area some 10,000 years ago. DAY 3: Ny-Ålesund

Sailing into the Kongsfjord, we en-

counter the town of Ny-Ålesund, one of just four permanent settlements on Svalbard. Ny-Ålesund was the starting point for many North Pole expeditions and many countries run national research stations here. DAY 4-7: Exploring Svalbard

Cruising north, we focus on the ice edge and attempt to enter fjords where landlocked ice is expected. About 3,000 polar bears live on the Svalbard Archipelago, probably the largest concentration on Earth. We will most likely observe these magnificent marine mammals from the ship as they make their way through the terrain resting on drift ice or swimming in the sea. We aim to see the Monaco Glacier, and there may be a chance to try glacier traversing.

Exceptional experiences await you “on the ice”, as 60 % of Svalbard is covered by glaciers.

Join an optional excursion to the Oslo North Cape and see what its like to stand at the end of the Earth.

DAY 8: Bjørnøya

DAY 10: Tromsø

As we cross the Arctic Ocean and set course for Norway’s mainland, we arrive at Bjørnøya, the southern­most island in the Svalbard Archipelago. This isolated outpost hosts one of the largest concentration of sea birds in the Northern Hemisphere. If conditions allow, we will land on Bjørnøya.

Tromsø is called the Gateway to the Arctic, and where your expedition ends. When polar explorer Roald Amundsen recruited crew for his famous expeditions more than 100 years ago, he went to Tromsø. The city is still the Gateway to the Arctic and a natural starting point for expeditions heading north.

DAY 9: North Cape

We offer one southbound and one northbound expedition. The northbound one has an inversed itinerary without overnight stay in Longyearbyen.

We sail early morning towards the spectacular North Cape cliffs. At Hornvika, we drop off hikers before continuing to Skarsvåg, a small village along the northern coast of the island of Magerøya.

After an overnight hotel stay and before boarding MS Spitsbergen, tour the unique Arctic town of Longyearbyen. A polar environment dominates here, but the town maintains a surprisingly cosmopolitan character. Longyearbyen is often called an antidote to modern-day life and today serves as a prime destination for adventure travellers. DAY 3-5: North West Spitsbergen National Park

We sail into Kongsfjorden, considered one of the most beautiful fjord regions in Spitsbergen. Watch mighty glaciers calve icebergs into the sea, framed by the backdrop of stunning mountain formations. On our way back, we visit the former mining settlement of Ny-Ålesund. Sailing northwest, we reach Krossfjorden and Mitrahalvøya, We aim to see the enormous Monaco Glacier in Liefdefjord.

DAY 6-8: Eastern Svalbard Nature Reserves and

South Spitsbergen National Park

Eastern Svalbard boasts the highest population of polar bears on the archipelago and we really hope to see one on this journey! We’ll explore Sorgfjorden, which borders the North East Spitsbergen Nature Reserve. Enjoy the on-deck view as we pass the spectacular bird cliffs of Alkefjellet. We continue to the southernmost tip of Spitsbergen. Ice being pushed into the fjord early in the season attracts polar bears that hunt on the floes, so keep an eye out. DAY 9: The Isfjord

We spend today exploring the Isfjord, the most prominent fjord system on Svalbard. The landscape features immense U-shaped valleys carved out of the mountains by the giant glaciers that covered the area 10,000 years ago. The area is home to large populations of Svalbard Reindeer. DAY 10: Longyearbyen/Oslo

Every good explorer’s voyage comes to an end. It will probably seem that time passed faster than expected. Many report subtle exhilaration after journeying to the very top of the world. A transfer vehicle takes you early in the morning to the airport for your flight back to Oslo.

DAY 1: Oslo/Longyearbyen

We start the expedition in Oslo, where you can spend the day seeing museums, parks and architecture. We depart on an evening flight to Longyearbyen. DAY 2: Longyearbyen

After an overnight hotel stay, explore this unique little Arctic town and surrounding area. Longyearbyen is often called an antidote to modern-day life and is a prime destination for adventure travellers. Board MS Spitsbergen. DAY 3-5: North West Spitsbergen

National Park

We sail into Kongsfjorden, considered one of the most beautiful fjord regions in Spitsbergen. See mighty glaciers calving icebergs into the sea framed by stunning mountain formations. Cruising northwest, we reach Mitrahalvøya. We visit the former mining settle­ment of Ny-Ålesund, and aim to see the enormous Monaco Glacier at Liefdefjord. DAY 6-9: Eastern Svalbard Nature

Reserves and South Spitsbergen National Park

We may meet some of Svalbard’s marine mammals as we head towards South Cape Land. Storfjorden is mainly frozen in winter, making it a perfect polar bear habitat. Ice floes early in the season attract the bears to hunt on drift ice. DAY 10-11: The Fjords of South-­

West Spitsbergen

Isfjord is the most prominent fjord system in Svalbard and we explore it extensively. The landscape of inner Isfjord changes constantly. Immense U-shaped valleys, carved out of the mountains by the giant glaciers that covered the area 10,000 years ago, are home to large populations of Svalbard Reindeer. Later we might host a farewell barbecue in beautiful Arctic surroundings. © NINA BAILEY

DAY 12: Longyearbyen/Oslo

Every good exploration voyage must end. We´ll remember the calving glaciers and buzzing birdlife, or simply the subtle, elated feeling of having been on top of the world. An early morning transfer takes you to the airport for your flight back to Oslo.

Eastern Svalbard boasts the highest population of polar bears on the archipelago and we really hope to see one! Today we explore Sorgfjorden, which borders the North East Spitsbergen Nature Reserve. Enjoy the view as we pass the spectacular bird cliffs of Alkefjellet. We plan to land on the island of Kvitøya, where relics of the failed Andrée hot-air balloon expedition were found. We also aim to see Edgeøya, Kapp Lee, and Rossøya, less than 1,000 kilometres from the North Pole.

Your adventure begins with an overnight stay in Longyearbyen, a former coal mining town and exploration starting point. Reminders of the history and heritage of early miners can be seen everywhere. DAY 2: Two Very Different

Settlements

After breakfast, you can take a guided sightseeing tour of Longyearbyen and visit Camp Barentz. We then board MS Nordstjernen and sail out Isfjorden to the Russian settlement Barentsburg. This coal mining town has been Russian since 1932, and is still home to about 500 people. See the exotic collection of old Russian artefacts and architecture, or soak up local atmosphere in the pub. DAY 3: Chance to see Polar Bears

When Willhelm Barentz first sighted Svalbard in 1596, it was the land in and around Northwest Spitsbergen National Park that he came across. He named it ‘Spitzbergen’ to reflect the sharp, steep mountains. You will see the enormous and fast-moving Monaco Glacier and we may also visit the Jotunkjeldane hot springs, the northernmost documented thermal springs on Earth. If we are lucky, we may

DAY 4: Fjords, Glaciers

and Research

Today we cruise into Kongsfjorden, the largest fjord on the Northwest coast of Spitsbergen. The landscape here varies from large tundra plains to alpine peaks with glaciers tumbling into the sea. At the end of the fjord, you will see the majestic Kongsbreen (King’s Glacier). Later we dock at Ny-Ålesund, one of the world’s northernmost year-round communities and an advanced High Arctic research station. DAY 5: Cruising Isfjorden to

Longyearbyen

Located in central Spitsbergen, Isfjorden is the most prominent fjord system on Svalbard. We spend the morning sailing towards Longyearbyen. Marvel at large U-shaped valleys, carved out of the mountains by giant glaciers. After arriving in Longyearbyen, the rest of the day is yours. There is a farewell dinner at the hotel that evening.

Svalbard

EXCURSION PROGRAMME

SPITSBERGEN ON LAND Svalbard’s dramatic seasons range from sunlit nights to polar darkness. There are amazing activities all year round, from snowmobile safaris in winter, to boat trips on fjords under the summer sun. Connect with your inner explorer and experience everything that Svalbard has to offer!

Magical darkness, northern lights

Season: 10.01-20.05.2018 Duration: Approximately 6-7 hours Level: 3 Booking Code: CENLYR41

WINTER:

Snowmobile Safari Barentsburg

01.01.-14.02./01.12.-31.12.2017

You will be fully equipped and briefed before we board the snowmobiles and head up Todalen and west towards Barentsburg. The journey then takes you to Coledalen and along the coast past Kapp Laila and Kapp Heer before arriving at the Russian mining village. Alternatively, we drive in Skiferdalen and across Grøndalen before converging with Grønfjorden and Barentsburg. Upon arrival in Barentsburg, you will enjoy a tasty Russian lunch. FROM £ 340pp* *The price includes a guided snowmobile tour incl. briefing, clothing and helmet, Russian lunch, sightseeing in Barentsburg, transport to/from your hotel. Daily, on request, minimum 2 snowmobiles. Driver’s license is required Season: 13.02-17.05.2018 Duration: Approximately 9 hours, 130 km Level: 4 Booking Code: CENLYR37

During the Polar night, Longyearbyen becomes a magical place lit by twink­ling stars and the Aurora Borealis. At this time of year the long hours of darkness provide you an even greater chance of experiencing the Northern Lights. In February, the days become lighter, and rays of sunlight colour mountain tops in pastel hues. Inside, you can enjoy traditional food and drinks or do some tax-free shopping. Outside, beautiful scenery and exotic activities await you.

Dog Sledding to an Ice Cave You will be driven to the dog yard approximately 12km outside of Longyearbyen. Each sled will take two guests. Enjoy the ride as a passenger with the opportunity to try mushing yourself. We will stop at a beautiful ice cave hidden within a glacier, and explore the cave while the dogs rest. During the summer, the cave is a bubbling meltwater river, and you will be able to see how the water has cut a deep path through the ancient ice, leaving beautiful formations. As we continue, the dogs run effortlessly downhill. During the last stage, before we arrive back at the dog yard, we will hold a steady pace. Enjoy the untouched wilderness and let all of the your experiences sink in. FROM £236pp* *The price includes a guided dog sledding tour incl. briefing, warm outer clothing, necessary safety equipment, lunch and transport to/from your hotel. Daily, on request, minimum 1 participant 58

Return of the sun LIGHT WINTER: 15.02.-17.05.2017

The `light winter´ is high season in Spitsbergen and the scenery is magnificent. The sun is over the horizon, and on March 8 each year the sun shines into Longyearbyen for the first time since the autumn. This period allows you to experience the majestic archipelago during the

1

light days, and activities include dog-sledding adventures and a unique ice-caving trip where you can wander through the heart of a glacier. The long days allow you to experience the best of Arctic Svalbard, with its frozen fjords and snow-covered mountain ranges. Remember to look out for the local fauna, including the Svalbard reindeer, polar fox and perhaps even the King of the Arctic – the polar bear.

Snowmobile Safari Pyramiden After being fully briefed and equipped, we head out of Longyearbyen, passing the magnificent Tempel Mountain and the Nordenskiöld glacier. Cross the frozen fjords of Spitsbergen and visit the abandoned Russian town of Pyramiden. This was previously the largest settlement on Svalbard with around 1,500 inhabitants. The town was abandoned in 1998, but the buildings and infrastructure are still intact. Today, Pyramiden is on National Geographic’s list of the top 20 ghost towns in the world! Enjoy a guided tour of this thrilling town. FROM £ 412pp* *The price includes a guided snowmobile tour incl. briefing, clothing and helmet, Russian lunch, sightseeing in Pyramiden, transport to/from your hotel.

out in big flocks. We will cross Sassenfjord and see the mighty mountain Tempel guarding the entrance to the Tempelfjord before we arrive for the highlight of this tour: the Nordenskiöld glacier and its powerful blue walls of ice. It crackles and bangs and, if we are lucky, may calve impressively for the photographers on board. Lunch from the barbecue will be served while enjoying the incredible view. After lunch, we will dock at the harbour in Pyramiden, where a Russian guide awaits you with a rifle on his shoulder in case a polar bear turns up. We explore the town together in a group for safety’s sake. FROM £ 201pp* *The price includes a boat trip with onboard guide, a guided walk in Pyramiden, lunch, transport to/from your hotel. Daily, on request, minimum 8 participants. Until June, ice can prevent entry to Pyramiden Season: 01.03-25.10.2018 Duration: Approximately 11 hours Level: 2 Booking Code: CENLYR27

Evening Boat Trip to Yoldiabukta and The Wahlenberg Glacier When we arrive at the active glacier, hot supper from the barbeque will be served while we observe calving from the glacier front. This is a unique opportunity to experience a surging glacier with massive pieces of ice breaking off. If you are lucky, you may see seals, walrus and maybe even the King of the Arctic - the polar bear! FROM £ 149pp* *The price includes a guided boat tour incl. BBQ meal on board, transport to and from hotel. Fridays, on request, minimum 8 participants No landing underway

SUMMER: 20.05.-30.09.2017

The Arctic summer starts in mid-May with endless hours of Midnight Sun, which lights the nights until late August. These light days provide the perfect back-drop for exciting boat trips, visiting the Fuglefjella bird cliffs or long-deserted settlements. The first birds begin to arrive in May for the nesting period. Later when the migratory birds leave, the vibrant green mountainsides begin to take on autumn colours.

Dog Sledding on Foxfonna On this tour you will be picked up from your accommodation in Longyearbyen and driven by car into the Advent Valley. On our way, we will stop by the dog yard in Bolterdalen where we will collect the huskies that will pull your sleds. We then continue by car up the spectacular road, which passes Mine 7. Once we reach the top, you harness the dogs with help from the guide. After a briefing on dog sledding you will mush out, up across Foxfonna, with fantastic snow and views over mountains, fjords and valleys – from 600 metres above sea level! The guide will drive in front with two participants on his sled. They will swap between mushing and travelling as passengers. Behind, the other sleds will be shared with two guests per sled. Hang on – this is quite a ride! FROM £ 143pp* *The price includes a guided dog sledding tour incl. briefing and warm outer clothing, transport to/ from your hotel.

DAY 1: Oslo/Longyearbyen

Spend the day in Norway’s capital Oslo. Our flight to Longyearbyen, Svalbard, departs in the evening. DAY 2: Longyearbyen

Explore Longyearbyen and its surroundings before we embark on MS Spitsbergen. DAY 3 North West Spitsbergen National Park and Ny-Ålesund

get to scout the horizon for magnificent marine and bird wildlife. DAY 5-11: North East Greenland National Park

The splendid isolation of our journey takes hold as we arrive at the world’s largest national park. Yet few traces of humans exist here - a mere 30 souls live within the park over winter and only 500 expedition guests visit each year.

DAY 4: At Sea

Once inside North East Greenland National Park’s fjords, your sense of distance, size and shape is challenged. These are the largest fjords in the world. The unforgettable alpine landscape features hanging glaciers and vertical granite faces reaching as far as the eye can see. The park’s abundant wildlife includes musk oxen, arctic fox, hare and wolf, numerous varieties of sea birds, and polar bears!

Leaving Spitsbergen behind, we head out to sea towards the eastern coast of Greenland. This is an excellent day to reflect on what you have experienced so far and to participate in expert lectures led by our expedition team. Don´t for-

Most of our landings are performed as pure wilderness expeditions. We go ashore at Mosquito Bay, where our expert guides and lecturers will safely lead you on hikes and small boat trips.

The first national park we visit features enormous inland glaciers and a landscape of contrasts, from lush pastures to barren moraines. We sail into Kongsfjord and Magdalene­fjord, and visit the old coal mining town of Ny-Ålesund.

MS Roald Amundsen will be a truly comfortable base camp at sea, and the stunning scenery will be reflected in a rich and stylish interior design. Scandinavian materials from nature, such as granite, oak, birch and wool will be used to create relaxed and well-designed cabins with views and welcoming public areas. On board recreation and dining will be top quality; with three swimming pools and fine Norwegian dining on offer. Best of all, MS Roald Amundsen is the first expedition ship ever to sail with electric hybrid technology. This will reduce fuel consumption approximately 20 percent and enable the ship to sail on 100% electric power for up to 30 minutes, allowing you to experience the wonder of Antarctica in near-total silence.

MS SPITSBERGEN MS SPITSBERGEN

MS Spitsbergen is named after the Arctic crown of Norway, where Hurtigruten has a long history in the Svalbard-Spitsbergen wilderness, reaching all the way back to 1896 and the Sports Route. MS Spitsbergen was completely renovated in 2016, with high standards and a fresh Scandinavian design, both in the cabins and the public areas. This upgrading has included changes that lighten the craft’s environmental footprint, making her even better suited to sailing in challenging polar waters.

MS Fram is the finest Expedition ship imaginable. As an explorer, you need a basecamp for adventure that is comfortable, of course, but is also housed on a very capable ship. MS Fram offers “All Oceans Capabilities” with the latest safety, performance and environmental technology. 127 comfortable cabins, many “Superior” class, provide fine lodging for all. Spacious outside decks grant access to the bow, providing an amazing viewpoint for spotting marine wildlife. We are proud of our art initiative, employing local artists to help transform MS Fram into a moving masterpiece. After taking on the required safety equipment for an exciting excursion, meet up in our “Tender Lobby” to smoothly embark on small boats for transport to adventures on shore.

MS NORDSTJERNEN

MS Nordstjernen (North Star) is named after that famous point in the night sky which has served as a navigational aid for mariners all the way back to the Vikings. Built in 1956, renovated in 2000 and again in 2014, she is ideally constructed for Arctic sailing. Passengers experience an aura of nostalgia as they sail aboard MS Nordstjernen, harkening back to a gracious era of sea travel in her dining room, bar, café, panorama lounge and library. Lodgings are cosy, most with upper and lower berths. Rooms and decks are fringed in rich Norwegian wood, creating an extraordinary atmosphere.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION Brochure Accuracy

Children

Medical facilities

Vaccinations

The information and descriptions contained in this brochure have been checked by our staff and/ or local agents to ensure they are correct. However, changes may occur after the date of publication and there may be occasions when Hurtigruten or local suppliers may withdraw some facilities. Many areas we visit are very remote and affected by prolonged cold weather or difficult terrain. Provision of facilities will be subject to local conditions.

Hurtigruten AS cannot allow children under the age of 5 to travel with us to Antarctica. For safety reasons, children under 12 years of age will be considered for participation on each landing.

There is an English-speaking physician and nurse on board the MS Fram, MS Midnatsol, MS Amundsen and MS Spitsbergen at all times. The ships have a small medical facility with the necessary equipment and medication to handle small emergencies. If you depend on medication, remember to bring sufficient supplies to last through any unforeseen delays. If you depend on vital drugs, please inform the ship’s doctor upon arrival.

On some voyages, vaccinations are required. All passengers are responsible for ensuring they comply with any requirements at the time of travel.

Communication to the ship All cabins on the MS Fram, MS Midnatsol, MS Roald Amundsen and MS Spitsbergen have a telephone. Both Wi-Fi and telephone lines will from time to time be out of range due to the vessel’s location.

Changes to the itinerary and excursions Every voyage is unique. All routes and excursions are provisional and subject to change as weather, sea and ice conditions may affect the itinerary. Excursions may also be subject to minimum/maximum numbers. Hurtigruten AS reserves the right to change the itinerary and the content of excursions without prior notice (see terms and conditions).

Charter flight to Ushuaia The flight from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia and vice versa is part of your voyage and usually operates early in the morning and arrives to Buenos Aires in the afternoon upon return.

Please note that the gangway must be used in order to wheelchairs-users to embark/ disembark. In ports where tidal conditions or other circumstances require use of a portable gangway, or during landings with tender boats, it is not possible to use/take wheelchairs.

Environment and green navigation We ask you to respect the saying: “Leave nothing but footprints, take nothing but pictures”.

Expedition Team Your Expedition Leader will regularly update you on the progress of the trip as well as the different points of interest and wildlife sightings that may occur.

On MS Nordstjernen, there is no Expedition Desk, it is not possible to book optional excursions on board and lectures are mainly given on shore.

Medical questionnaire mandatory In accordance with Hurtigruten AS requirements, all travellers to Antarctica, North East Greenland and on all voyages crossing the Atlantic Ocean must complete a confidential medical declaration form, signed by a doctor, stating that they are fit to travel. This form will be sent to you in advance of travel, and the form must be filled out, brought on board and personally delivered to the doctor upon embarkation. Boarding may be denied if these forms are not presented at time of embarkation.

Mobile phone Mobile phones will function in most places on shore. Check with your carrier for details. On Nordstjernen, there is no mobile or internet connection on board, except while at port in Longyearbyen and Barentsburg

Passport and VISA requirements Please take a few minutes to familiarise yourself with the required travel documents you will be asked to provide prior to boarding the ship. At check-in on board, passports will be collected, in order to clear immigrations and customs. It is the responsibility of each passenger to ensure they comply with any visa travel document requirements at the time of travel.

Safety on board The ships comply with all safety requirements and our vessels travelling in icy waters are suitable for this. Upon arrival on board all passengers will be instructed in safety procedures and the use and location of the safety equipment. Special safety regulations will apply on landings with the tender boats. A mandatory briefing regarding the safety guidelines will also be given.

Ship’s security Hurtigruten complies with the ISPS-regulations (International Ship and Port Facility Security Code) where all luggage is subject to X-ray/metal detector inspection at a facility or ship.

What to wear For all voyages, we advise you to bring breathable rain and windproof clothing. A warm hat, gloves, scarf and thermal clothing can be useful, together with thermal underwear, during the winter months. Sturdy shoes are important for some shore excursions and a walking stick/trekking pole may be useful.

Where a Passenger is refused embarkation as a result of safety and/or fitness to travel, neither we nor the carrier shall be liable for any loss or expense occasioned to the passenger thereby, nor shall the passenger be entitled to any compensation from the Carrier.

6. IF YOU CHANGE YOUR BOOKING If you wish to change your travel arrangements after they have been confirmed we will do our utmost to help but it may not always be possible. Any request for changes to be made must be in writing by the person who made the booking or your travel agent. You will be asked to pay an administration charge of £60 per person and any further cost we incur in making this alteration. NB: most airlines will charge a fee for ticket changes. Costs may increase the closer to the departure date that changes are made. For example, the transfer within 60 days of departure of arrangements involving a scheduled flight will mean the cancellation and re-booking of this flight and a significant additional charge.

Passengers who need assistance and/or have special requests or need special facilities or equipment with regard to accommodation, seating or services required or need to bring medical equipment must notify us at the time of booking. If there are any particular conditions, disabled or reduced mobility which require personal care or supervision then such personal care or supervision must be organised by the passenger and at the passenger’s expense. Those passengers confined to wheelchairs must furnish their own standard size foldable wheelchairs but needn’t be accompanied by a travelling companion. Unless we and or the Carrier agree otherwise and in writing Passengers are limited to bringing 2 items of such mobility or medical equipment on board per cabin with a total value not exceeding £2,200. All equipment must be capable of being carried safety and must be declared before the sailing. The Carrier may decline to carry such equipment where it is not safe to do so or where it has not been notified in time to enable a risk assessment to be carried out. Pregnant women are highly recommended to seek medical advice prior to travel at any stage of their pregnancy. Women who are up to 23 weeks pregnant at the end of the cruise are required to produce a medical certificate of fitness to travel. The Carrier cannot for safety reasons carry pregnant passengers of 24 weeks or more by the end of the cruise. 5. A PRICES All Voyage prices shown in this brochure are in pounds sterling and are per person based on full occupancy of the cabin accommodation unless otherwise stated. Single/Sole occupancy of cabins with more than one berth is at our discretion as single/sole use of multiple berth cabins will be limited. The price of your voyage or air package holiday arrangements was calculated using exchange rates quoted in the Financial Times Guide to World Currencies on 04.11.2016, Norwegian Kroner (NOK) 10.16; Euros 1.12. We reserve the right to change any of the prices quoted in this brochure although there will be no change within 30 days of your departure date. You will be advised of the current price of the voyage or air package holiday you wish to book before your contract is confirmed.

Optional Excursions booked before you travel or local excursions or other activities that you may choose to book and pay for whilst on holiday are not part of your voyage or air package holiday arrangements provided by us nor are we agents for the provider of the service. For any excursion or other activity you book before departure or with which you are assisted in arranging whilst on holiday, your contract will solely be with the supplier of the excursion or activity and not with Hurtigruten. We are not responsible for the provision of your excursion or activity or for anything that happens during the course of its provision by the supplier.

If you change the number of people in your party, the price of the arrangements will be recalculated for the new party size e.g. this may mean that accommodation is under-occupied and each member of the party may have to pay an increased price. Any increase in price caused by changes you have requested is not a cancellation charge even though it may arise because a member of your party has cancelled. Any change by you to your confirmed arrangements after departure is in all cases subject to availability and any relevant costs. 7. IF YOU CANCEL You, or any member of your party, may cancel your travel arrangements at any time. Written notification from the person who made the booking or your travel agent must be received at our offices. We recommend ‘Recorded Delivery’. Cancellation takes effect the day we receive your letter or email. Since we incur costs in relation to your arrangements from the time we confirm your booking you will have to pay the applicable cancellation charges as shown in the table below (which also applies if we cancel because you have failed to make payments on time - see ‘Payment’ section) together with the cost of any air fare for which we have had to pay at the time of the booking and will be payable immediately on cancellation.

Occasionally we may have to make a significant change to your confirmed arrangements. Significant changes include the following: • Change of UK departure airport. A change from one London airport to another is not considered a major change. London airports are Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and London City. • Change of your time of departure or return by more than 12 hours. • Change of your flight from a day flight to a night flight if this also includes a change to your departure time of 3 hours or more.† • Change of resort. • Change of holiday accommodation to accomm odation of a lower official rating. † For the purposes of the contract night flights are those which depart from the UK between 2200 and 0600 hours or arrive in the UK between 2400 and 0600 hours. If we have to make a significant change we will notify you as soon as possible and you may either: (a) accept the change and the contract between us will then be varied to incorporate the change; or (b) take alternative arrangements altogether (subject to availability). If the alternative arrangements selected are a lower price than those originally confirmed the difference will (if already paid) be refunded to you. (c) withdraw from the booking completely in which case we will as soon as possible, refund all money paid to us. Passengers must give notice of their decision as soon as reasonably possible and not later than 7 days of being informed of the alteration. If you choose (a) or (b) above, you will receive as compensation a credit towards the cost of your arrangements, or any alternative selected, the amount shown in Scale A below.

*The compensation shown above applies to full fare paying adults only. Children or others travelling at concessionary rates will receive compensation pro rata based on the concessionary price against the full adult price as shown on the confirmation. The above rates do not apply when we are forced to make changes which cause you to withdraw or cancel your arrangements, by reason of unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control and which we could not have avoided by the exercise of all due care and our only liability will be to refund, as soon as possible, all money paid to us by you. We are unable to accept liability or pay compensation where the performance or prompt performance of our contractual obligation is prevented or affected by reason of circumstances amounting to ‘force majeure’ i.e. any event which we or the supplier(s) of the service(s) could not, even with due care foresee or avoid. Such events may include, but are not limited to, war, threat of war or civil commotions, riots, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather, fire, flood, drought, government action, airport and port regulations and closures, technical transportation problems, maintenance to vessels, scheduling of transport and similar events outside our control.


A flight or ship delay does not constitute a change to holiday arrangements. 9. COMPLAINT PROCEDURE If there is a problem during your holiday, you must report it on board immediately or to the relevant airline, ground handler, hotelier or other supplier, so that prompt efforts can be made to resolve the problem. In the unlikely event that a problem cannot be resolved at the time and you wish to complain, you must send us full written details within 28 days of your return. Failure to take either or both of these steps will prejudice our ability to resolve your problem and / or investigate it fully. In consequence, any right to compensation you may have will be extinguished or, at the very least, substantially reduced. Where the port of embarkation for your sailing is in the EU then any complaints relating to EU Regulation 1177/2010 on Passenger Rights when travelling by Sea and Inland waterways must be made to the Company in writing no later than 2 months after return from travel or the date on which the service complained of was performed. The Company will provide a final reply within 2 months. You must supply full details to enable the Company to deal with your complaint. In the unlikely event that any complaint cannot be settled between us you may if you wish be referred to Arbitration. This special scheme, by arrangement with ABTA is administered by CEDR Solve. It applies if your claim is for not more than £5,000 per person or £25,000 per booking and does not involve physical injury or illness. The scheme provides for a simple and inexpensive method of arbitration conducted privately based on written documentation and evidence with limited customer liability on costs. Full details are available on request or from ABTA Ltd, 30 Park Street, London SE1 9EQ, www.abta.com. 10. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU (i) Except where otherwise expressly stated in these booking conditions, we regret we cannot accept liability or pay any compensation where the performance of our contractual obligations is prevented or affected by or you otherwise suffer any damage or loss as a result of ‘force majeure’. In these Booking Conditions, ‘force majeure’ means any event which we or the supplier of the service(s) in question could not, even with all due care, foresee or avoid. Such events may include war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, actual or threatened terrorist activity, industrial dispute, natural or nuclear disaster, adverse weather conditions, fire and all similar events outside our control. (ii) We will accept responsibility for the arrangements we agree to provide or arrange for you as an ‘organiser’ under the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992 as set out below. Subject to these booking conditions, if we or our suppliers perform or arrange your contracted holiday arrangements negligently, taking into consideration all relevant factors, we will pay you reasonable compensation. (iii) Where death and or personal injury and or loss of or damage to property occurs during carriage by air or by sea then liability and the extent of damages recoverable will be dealt with by International Conventions as set out in paragraphs (v) and (vi) and not otherwise. (iv) As set out in these booking conditions we limit the maximum amount we may have to pay you for any claims you may make against us which do not involve personal injury, illness or death. Except where loss of and/or damage to luggage or personal possessions is concerned if we are found liable to you on any basis the maximum amount we will have to pay you is twice the price (excluding insurance premiums and amendment charges) paid by or on behalf of the person(s) affected in total unless a lower limitation applies to your claim under clause 10 (vi) below. (v) Where any claim or part of a claim (including those involving death or personal injury) concerns or is based on any travel arrangements (including the process of getting on and/or off the transport concerned) provided by any air, sea, rail or road carrier or any stay in a hotel, the maximum amount of compensation we will have to pay you will be limited. The most we will have to pay you for that claim or that part of a claim if we are found liable to you on any basis is the most the carrier or hotel keeper concerned would have to pay under

Please note: Where a carrier or hotel would not be obliged to make any payment to you under the applicable International Convention or Regulation in respect of a claim or part of a claim, we similarly are not obliged to make a payment to you for that claim or part of the claim. When making any payment, we are entitled to deduct any money which you have received or are entitled to receive from the transport provider or hotelier for the complaint or claim in question. Copies of the applicable International Conventions and Regulations are available from us on request. We do not have any liability to you by virtue of the Regulation 261/2004 which applies solely to the operating carrier. Any liability we may have to you under our contract with you, arising out of the same facts, is limited to the remedies provided under the Regulation as if (for this purpose only) we were a carrier; any sums you receive from the carrier will be deducted from any amount due from ourselves. (vi) Travel by sea is governed by the provisions of the Convention Relating to the Carriage of Passengers and their Luggage by Sea 1974 as amended in 1976 (“The Athens Convention) and where applicable from 1 January 2013 EU Regulation 392/2009 relating to the Liability of carriers of passengers by sea in the event of accidents (“EU Regulation 392/2009). For the purposes of the Athens Convention and EU Regulation 392/2009 we are the Contracting Carrier. The Athens Convention and EU Regulation 392/2009 limit the Carriers’ liability for death or personal injury or loss or damage to luggage and makes special provision for valuables. It is presumed that luggage has been delivered to you undamaged unless written notice is given by us and/or the performing Carrier. a) in the case of apparent damage, before or at the time of disembarkation or redelivery; or b) in the case of damage which is not apparent or of loss, within 15 days from the date of disembarkation or redelivery or from the time when such redelivery should have taken place. Damages for cabin luggage payable by the Carrier are limited up to the Athens Convention limit of 833 SDRs or 2250 SDRs if EU Regulation 392/2009 applies. Limits shall be reduced in proportion to any contri­butory negligence by the Client and by the maximum deductible specified in Article 8(4) of the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009. In so far as we may be liable to a Client in respect of claims arising out of carriage by sea, we shall be entitled to all the rights, defences, immunities and limitations available, respectively, to the actual carrier and under the relevant Conventions and nothing in these Booking Conditions shall be deemed as a surrender thereof. To the extent that any provision in these Booking Conditions is made null and void by the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 or any legislation compulsorily applicable or is otherwise unenforceable, it shall be void to that extent but not further. Any liability in respect of death and personal injury and loss of and damage to luggage which we may incur to you shall always be subject to the limits of liability contained in the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009 for death/personal injury of 46,666 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) or 300,000 SDR under Athens Convention or 400,000 SDRs under EU Regulation 392/2009 except in the case of liability for war or terrorism 250,000 SDRs. We are not liable for valuables, monies or other securities including jewellery and watches. If they have been deposited with the reception desk on the ship for safe keeping and a receipt issued then in those limited circumstances the Carriers liability will be as set out in the Athens Convention or EU Regulation 392/2009. The use of safes on board a Vessel is not a deposit with the ship or with the company under the Athens Convention or

EU Regulation 392/2009 or otherwise. The limits are 1200 SDRs pursuant to Athens or 3,375 SDRs pursuant to EU Regulation 392/2009. (vii) Where there is any loss of or damage to property including luggage which is not covered by any international convention and where liability is not limited by reference to any enactment, terms of conditions, then any legal liability that we may have for any such losses or damage will not exceed £500 per guest. (viii) You must provide ourselves and our insurers with all assistance we may reasonably require. You must also tell us and the supplier concerned about your claim or complaint as set out in clause 9 above. If asked to do so, you must transfer to us or our insurers any rights you have against the supplier or whoever else is responsible for your claim or complaint (if the person concerned is under 18, their parent or guardian must do so). You must also agree to cooperate fully with us and our insurers if we or our insurers want to enforce any rights which are transferred. 11. INDEMNITY When you book arrangements with us you accept responsibility for the proper conduct of yourself and your party. If your actions or omissions cause damage to any property in the provision of the contracted arrangements, or cause delay or diversion to any flight or other means of transportation, you agree to fully indemnify us against any claim (including professional fees and legal costs) made against us by or on behalf of the owner of such property or the operator of the flight or other means of transportation. The Captain of an aircraft or Master of a ship has authority over the aircraft/ship and passengers at all times when they are boarding or on board. There will be no liability on our part, or that of any supplier, for any refund, compensation, or costs thus incurred. Additionally, we will have the right to recover full costs resulting from the incident from the passenger. At any port or place we may refuse to embark or may disembark any passenger who, in the opinion of the ship’s authorized personnel, might be excluded from landing at further destinations by local authorities or who may be suffering from any contagious or infectious disease, or whose presence may be detrimental to the wellbeing of passengers or crew. In cases of quarantine of the ship, or individual passengers (passengers may be required to remain in their cabin or as instructed by authorised personnel on board if they or any other occupant of the accommodation presents any symptoms or may be considered to put other passengers at risk) we will not be liable for expenses thus caused and in such cases as above there will be no entitlement to any refund or compensation and we will have no liability for costs incurred as a result. Your specific passport and visa and health requirements and other immigration requirements are your responsibility and you should confirm these with the relevant Embassies and/or Consulates. We do not accept responsibility if you cannot travel because you have not complied with the latest requirements. If you have made independent travel arrangements you accept responsibility for joining the ship in good time, regardless of any change to the sailing time or date, or to the itinerary. We are not able to refund monies paid to us, or any third party acting on our or your behalf, or make compensation or other payments where, for whatever reason, you fail to join the ship. Passengers going ashore are responsible for re-boarding the ship prior to departure from port. We reserve the right to substitute another vessel for the scheduled vessel whether or not owned or operated by Hurtigruten. Any part of the travel arrangements and the voyage is subject to cancellation, delay, modification, or island/mainland visit cancellation for any reason, including medical disembarkation of crew or passengers or any other circumstances beyond our or our suppliers’ control. You therefore acknowledge and agree that the scheduled itinerary for the voyage and the announced departure and arrival times are not guaranteed and we shall not be liable to passengers for any damages or other claims in the event of any delay, changes in itinerary or inability to perform services by reason of any event or events beyond our or our suppliers’ control. 12. INSURANCE It is a condition of the contract with us that every member of the booking has travel insurance

in force for the entire duration of the booking, covering at least the cancellation of the booking and providing medical cover for illness or injury and repatriation while overseas. Please provide us with the name of your insurer, together with their 24-hour emergency number when you book or as soon as possible. 13. TIMINGS & DELAYS Timings are estimates only and cannot be guaran­ teed, even if shown on tickets. They may be changed due to regulatory authority requirements, weather conditions, maintenance or technical reasons, and the ability of passengers to check in and board on time. Sometimes delays cannot be avoided but in such situations, in conjunction with our local agents or representatives, we will try to ensure your comfort during the course of any delay. Where the port of embarkation is in the EU and the company reasonably expects the departure of a cruise to be delayed for more than 90 minutes beyond its scheduled departure time, passengers departing from port terminal shall be offered free of charge snacks, meals or refreshments as are appropriate given the waiting time, provided they are available and can reasonably be supplied. If the delay in departure necessitates a stay of one or more nights or a stay additional to that intended by the passenger where and when physically possible the Company shall, subject to the Package Travel Regulations 1992, offer passengers departing from port terminals free of charge adequate accommodation on board or ashore, and transport to and from the port terminal and place of accommodation in addition to the snacks, meals and refreshments previously referred to. The maximum amount that the company will pay for accommodation ashore and transport to and from the port terminal shall be equivalent to 80 Euros per person per night for a maximum of three nights. The company will not have an obligation to provide such accommodation ashore where the delay is caused by weather conditions endangering the safe operation of the ship. 14.
