Exploration cruise line Hurtigruten is celebrating Norway's reopening as the country no longer requires North American travellers to quarantine for 10 days upon arrival.
Prior to this week, even vaccinated North Americans were not allowed to enter Norway without quarantining for 10 days. That restriction has been in place for nearly two years.
Effective immediately, North Americans can travel to Norway as long as they present a negative COVID-19 test taken 24 hours before departing for the destination, complete an entry pre-registration form, and test upon arrival, either at the airport or within the first 24 hours.
Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express, which has been operating sailings up and down the country's coast since 1893, is looking forward to once again welcome North American travellers to explore one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world.
Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Express' departures range from six to 12 days, with the latter calling at 34 ports along the Norwegian coast and sailing past more than 100 fjords and 1,000 mountains.
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. This route is often described as "the most beautiful voyage in the world."
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, this winter and spring, as well as for the 2022/23 winter season.
Between April and September, the company is also operating 15-day summer expedition cruises out of Hamburg, Germany.
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.
