Best for:

Authentic Norwegian experiences ght Spotlire featu Hurtigruten offers one of the world’s great coastal journeys, shaped by more than 130 years of sailing Norway’s shoreline. Since 1893, the cruise line has connected remote communities, served local passengers and welcomed travellers who want to experience Norway as it truly is. Every voyage is guided by a simple philosophy: Norway, your way. Whether you travel for a few days or several weeks, there is a journey designed to match your pace and curiosity, following the natural rhythms of the coast from the southern fjords to the far north, Svalbard, and selected Nordic destinations. When you come aboard, you enter a living coastal tradition. Hurtigruten’s small, purpose-

built ships navigate sheltered waterways and working harbours beyond the reach of larger vessels, bringing you closer to quiet towns, narrow straits and daily coastal life. This is travelling through the landscape, not past it. Locally sourced food is central to the experience. Farm-and-fjord-totable cuisine highlights regional flavours, carefully managed around seasonality to reduce waste and lower environmental impact, without compromising on taste. Choose between the historic Original coastal voyage, sailing year-round to 34 ports, or the more unhurried Signature journeys, with longer stays, curated excursions, exceptional dining and enhanced on-board programmes.

Vancouver If you’re sailing from Vancouver on an Alaska cruise, a pre- or post-cruise stay is well worth it – and arriving early adds extra peace of mind. Set in south-west British Columbia and framed by mountains and coastline, Vancouver is a picturesque city where nature and urban life blend seamlessly. Here’s how to make the most of 48 hours before or after you set sail.

Day 1: Coastal views & city highlights Start at Stanley Park, a vast expanse of urban parkland with forest trails, beaches and Canada’s largest aquarium. Walk or cycle

the scenic Seawall for sweeping views of the skyline, mountains and harbour, stopping at the totem poles along the way. For something different, try kayaking in False Creek for a unique perspective of the city. Grouse Mountain

In the afternoon, head to the Vancouver Waterfront to take in the skyline by boat or visit the Vancouver Lookout for panoramic views from 167 metres up. Continue to Gastown for its cobbled streets, independent shops and iconic Steam Clock, before exploring Granville Island’s lively markets, cafés and artisan stores. If time allows, Robson Street is ideal for a spot of shopping.

Day 2: Culture & cuisine Start your day with a visit to Capilano Suspension Bridge or take the cable car up Grouse Mountain for spectacular views. For a true West Coast experience, consider a whale-watching excursion just offshore.

Stanley Park totem poles

Back in the city, explore Chinatown and the tranquil Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, or visit the Vancouver Art Gallery for a taste of Canadian and Indigenous art.

Vancouver’s diverse food scene caters to all tastes, with fresh seafood a highlight. Spend the afternoon at Kitsilano Beach or strolling the waterfront, then enjoy dinner in fashionable Yaletown or Coal Harbour. End with a sunset walk by the water – the perfect send-off before your cruise adventure begins. Coal Harbour
