As Europe grapples with overtourism this summer, Norwegian cruise line Hurtigruten is taking a different approach to travel with the launch of its community-led Open Village initiative.

Hurtigruten’s iconic Norwegian Coastal Voyages will reach a potential audience of tens of thousands around Australia over the coming weeks, with the experience featured as a precursor to a series of art-house films playing at Palace Cinemas, from now until mid August.

With over 130 years of experience exploring Norway, Hurtigruten knows that the most rewarding way to explore the Nordics is to slow down and take the scenic route – by land and by sea.

Hurtigruten, the iconic leader in Norwegian coastal voyages, is proud to introduce the ‘Grand Nordic Adventure – Finland, Norway & Iceland’ – a 19-day tour package offering an immersive exploration of the Nordic region, combining the deep forests of Finland, the wild coastline of Norway and the volcanic landscapes of Iceland.

This season, let your clients write their own Norwegian eventyr — their own unforgettable adventure. Hurtigruten, the original coastal voyage company and Norway’s undisputed travel expert, has launched its latest campaign, “Norway, Your Way”, offering up to 25% off and bonus onboard credit to give guests the freedom to explore Norway on their own terms.

Hurtigruten has promoted Iain Powell as the company’s new Chief Commercial Officer. Powell joined Hurtigruten in March 2024 as Vice President of Sales & Marketing for the UK and EMEA, before being promoted to Managing Director for the Nordics, UK, and Emerging Markets in December 2024.

Hurtigruten’s goal of operating an emission-free vessel on the Norwegian coast by 2030 is closer within reach thanks to the recent completion of a significant phase in its Sea Zero project.
