Hurtigruten has extended its book with confidence offer until the 31 December, for bookings made from the 1 September 2020, for all 2021 and 2022 costal and expedition voyages.

To reassure and support guests during the ongoing uncertainty of the  pandemic, the offer allows guests to cancel their 2021/22 sailing for a full refund within 14 days of cancelling the booking.

The refund includes guest deposits. The cruise can also be cancelled for any reason.

Cancellations must be made at least 90 days before cruises departing between January and September 2021 and at least 180 days for sailings between October 2021 and December 2022.

Hurtigruten UK general manager Anthony Daniels said: “We understand that booking a holiday during this unpredictable time can be stressful, so we are pleased to extend our book with confidence offer to provide greater flexibility and financial security to our guests.

“The policy is applicable for all new coastal or expedition cruise bookings and we look forward to welcoming guests on board a Hurtigruten voyage next year.”

Speaking about the new 2021/2022 expedition voyages, released in October, Daniels added: “There are some incredible itineraries as well as new destinations included that deliver truly authentic adventures for those who are curious to experience more of the world around them.

“Every destination has been handpicked by experts to create the ultimate expedition for guests. From witnessing the spectacular wildlife of the British Isles, the rugged Archipelagos in southern Scandinavia, to the stunning Norwegian fjords and the mesmerising Northern Lights.

“With departures from Dover and the small ship ambience of MS Maud, we’ve made it even easier for guests to get up close to nature – something the bigger ships can’t.”

The programme features 13 and 15-day expedition sailings around the British Isles, Norway, and for the first time in Hurtigruten’s history, southern Scandinavia.
