Hurtigruten launches all-inclusive fleet-wide offer
Hurtigruten Expeditions (HX) has announced plans to further enhance their onboard guest offering.
As part of a phased approach, starting with Antarctica & Galápagos expeditions departing in October 2024, the company will be introducing an ‘all-inclusive’ offering as standard across the whole fleet from November 2024, covering all destinations.
Since rebranding to HX last December, this product evolution is one of many new initiatives that seek to combine their renowned exploring heritage with the modern-day guest experience. The ‘all-inclusive’ offering ranges from including expert-led daily expeditions, access to a whole series of science-led activities both on board and out in the wild, to alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and even professional photographs.
These changes look to enhance the guest experience onboard, part of a larger project aimed at crafting the ultimate expedition cruise experience, but importantly simplify the product offering for trade.
“Expedition cruising can be a complex product for agents to sell, given the unique destinations we visit and varying experiences by operator,” said Alex Delamere-White, HX chief commercial officer. “We’re confident that by including so many elements as standard in the price, we can simplify life onboard and enhance our trade-friendly focus.”
