Hurtigruten Discovery-Class or Nautical-Class Ship
Your Hurtigruten coastal voyage ship is more than just your home on your Scandinavian adventure—it's a piece of Norwegian maritime history. The fleet includes modern 400- to 1,000-passenger Discovery-class ships, and a classic 554-passenger Nautical-class ship. A working vessel that also delivers cargo, this ship slips into narrow fjords and waterways that larger cruise ships cannot access, and is staffed with a crew who knows the intricacies of the Scandinavian waters by heart. Your small group of 20-25 travelers (average of 22) can relax in common areas— two bars and two dining rooms with open seating—to get to know one another on your voyage, and witness the majesty of Northern Europe's landscapes from one of the panoramic lounges. Complimentary wireless Internet is also available in all cabins and common areas, though connectivity may be limited at some points on your cruise.
