Hurtigruten is celebrating Norway’s reopening as the country will no longer require Australian and New Zealand travellers to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival.
Hurtigruten is celebrating the news that Australian and New Zealand travellers can once again experience ‘the most beautiful voyage in the world’ along the original 1893 route on the famed Coastal Express or by expedition cruise, without needing to quarantine upon entry into Norway.
Following the announcement by the Norwegian government, Australian and New Zealand travellers can travel to Norway as long as they present a negative COVID-19 test taken 24 hours before departing for Norway, complete an entry pre-registration form, and test upon arrival, either at the airport or within the first 24 hours.
Prior to 26 January, even vaccinated Australians and New Zealanders were not allowed to enter Norway without quarantining for 10 days.
Hurtigruten says it’s Norwegian Coastal Express is looking forward to once again welcoming Australian and New Zealand travellers to explore one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world.
Starting from only $1,572, travellers can enjoy a six-day cruise from Kirkenes – located at the very top of Norway, close to Russia – down to Bergen, the country’s second-largest city.
Hurtigruten Expeditions is offering the 15-day Northern Lights and Fjords Expedition from Dover, United Kingdom, which focuses on the natural wonder of the Aurora Borealis for the 2022/23 European winter season.
Between April and September, the company is also operating 15-day summer expedition cruises out of Hamburg, Germany, giving travellers the chance to extend their European and UK trips and explore more of the world.
Guests bookings with either Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express or Hurtigruten Expeditions before March 31, 2022, for sailings before September 30, 2022, are automatically covered by Hurtigruten’s Book with Confidence policy.
Last year, Hurtigruten Norway Coastal Express announced all seven of its ships will undergo one of the largest environmental upgrades in the history of European shipping, which will result in CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions being reduced by at least 25% and NOx (nitrogen oxide) emissions cut by 80%.
