TORONTO — Hurtigruten Expeditions has unveiled seven brand new adventures to its 2023 Arctic Summer season.
Spanning 11-19 days, the new departures take place from June to September 2023, taking guests to beyond and above the Arctic circle onboard the small-size expedition ship MS Maud. The new itineraries will depart from either Dover, United Kingdom or Reykjavik, Iceland, and will visit Greenland, Svalbard, the British Isles, the Faroe Islands and Iceland.
With the addition of MS Maud to the Arctic region next summer, Hurtigruten Expeditions will offer a wider-than-ever selection of Arctic expedition cruises, with a total of five ships exploring the region.
“We are thrilled to further expand our Arctic expedition cruise offering by introducing MS Maud on a series of best-of-the-best itineraries, handcrafted by our team of experts and based on our almost 130 years of Arctic experience,” said Hurtigruten Expeditions’ CEO Asta Lassesen. “Working closely with the local communities, our small-ship expedition cruises take you where the big ships can’t, closer to the people and nature of the north.”
The new MS Maud Arctic adventures for 2023 include:
- Two True Arctic Expeditions: A unique combination of Iceland, these 17-day voyages depart and arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland and venture to the wild east coast of Greenland, Svalbard archipelago and the rarely visited Arctic volcanic island of Jan Mayen.
- One 20-day epic Greenland summer explorer expedition cruise: This 20-day flexible itinerary explores icebergs, fjords, wildlife and communities along Greenland’s spectacular west coast, including north of Disko Bay.
- Two Iceland Circumnavigation expedition cruises: These itineraries that take guests on an 11 day deep-dive from Reykjavik to some of Iceland’s most incredible sights, including crossing of the Arctic circle.
- Two 12-dayIsland Hopping in the North Atlantic expedition cruises: These voyages explore Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Shetland Islands, Orkney Islands, and British Isles. Being the first and last adventures of MS Maud’s 2023 summer season, they either depart or conclude in Dover.
Expedition cruises can also be extended with 2-4 days of land adventures in Iceland.
