The Shipping Company
Hurtigruten? Why? Hurtigruten or Hurtigrut is the common term for the traditional Norwegian postal shipping line, which has been connecting places along the over 2700 kilometer...

I know what you’re thinking, oh ‘the old man can’t stop’. But I’m just having fun right now.
Shipping company information about the ship:
It is a freshly renovated ship from 2023, made with natural materials like wood and stone sourced from the region (Norway). (That’s my interpretation).
Passengers: 500 (this number does not really match the cabin capacity. We have booked a 'Signature Group Trip', whatever that means, and the passenger count is supposed to be limited to 350. To be honest, I could still manage with 500).
Beds: 580
Speed: 18.5 knots
Length: 136.75 m
Width: 22 m
Draught: 5.1 m
On board, we have 3 gourmet restaurants, a bar, free Wi-Fi throughout the ship, including in cabins (I’m curious about that), and we have an expedition team onboard, as well as a panoramic lounge which is supposed to be right next to the bar. 😋🥃🍺🥂🙈, I’m looking forward to it.
We will sail (ship travel😬) for 16 days and visit 14 locations.
