Hurtigruten Expeditions to more than double Galapagos offering
Will PayneHurtigruten Expeditions is set to more than double its Galapagos offering in 2023 and 2024 with three new, year-round itineraries.
The line’s inaugural Galapagos expedition cruise departs on 7 January 2022.
Guests will be able to choose from four different small-ship sailings in 2023 and 2024, ranging in duration from four to eight nights.
A six-night Eastern Galapagos itinerary, which launches in January, will be complemented with a four-night Northern Galapagos cruise, a four-night Western Galapagos cruise and an eight-night combination covering Northern and Western Galapagos. All four options are now available to book for travel in 2023 and 2024.
Galapagos guests will also be the first to experience the line’s new MS Santa Cruz II, which has been custom built for small-ship exploration with only 50 cabins and suites.
The vessel has undergone a multimillion-dollar upgrade, including all public areas, cabins and suites, ahead of the 2022 season.
Asta Lassesen, chief executive of Hurtigruten Expeditions, said the Galapagos can be considered a "planet within planet Earth" due to its "distinct" wildlife and "pristine" landscape.
"This is one of the most distinct and pristine destinations there is," Lassesen added.
"We are exceptionally proud to offer even more chances to sustainably connect with this adventure travel treasure.
"The added itineraries and experiences are the result of what has proven to be a very fruitful partnership for the benefit of our valued guests."
