A melting pot of European and South American cultures, Buenos Aires is the confident capital of Argentina. Beside the busy port is a metropolis boasting eclectic architecture, delicious parrilla-based cuisine and passionate Porteños. It is the birthplace of Pope Francis and Diego Maradona and final resting place of Evita. The famously seductive Argentine tango was born in the cobbled backstreets of the La Boca area, so there’s no better place to experience this sultry dance

Penguins in snow

Antarctica Fri 21 Mar 2025

Penguins in snow

Antarctica never fails to inspire awe and wonder, with white horizons above ancient glaciers and oceans full of icebergs and whales (February and March are the best months for whale watching). Perhaps even more awe-inspiring will be your first meeting with adolescent penguins learning how to swim. 

Your Captain and Expedition Team will work with the elements to create the best possible itinerary for your adventure as you explore the most beautiful and most remote places on Earth. You will have five days to take in every magical moment. During your discovery of ‘the Seventh Continent’, landings will be attempted on several sites in the Antarctic Peninsula and its surrounding islands and will aim to bring you to the incredible diversity of wildlife and landscapes the area has to offer. Lectures from the Expedition Team will be ongoing as well, both on board and ashore.

This is another world – nowhere else offers such untouched wild beauty, explorer history and rich wildlife!

A panoramic view of Stanley

Falkland Islands Fri 28 Mar 2025

A panoramic view of Stanley

With green grass, white sands and farms, the Falklands are a world away from the barren white wilderness of Antarctica. Spend three days exploring the islands with no exact itinerary, allowing the Captain and Expedition Team to pick out the best spots for each day based on the conditions at the time. This is a paradise for birds, like ducks, geese, albatrosses, caracaras and wrens, not to mention the four different species of penguins to found here – king, rockhopper, Magellanic and gentoo. The latter normally hang out in large colonies around the islands, which you might be able to spot from the ship or even visit during one of our landings. Stanley, the capital of the archipelago, is on the island of East Falkland and easy for the ship to access. Small enough to be explored on foot, it comes complete with familiar English red buses, inviting restaurants and pubs full of friendly locals

The Future is Green

Hurtigruten have made history by becoming the world's first cruise line to remove all single-use plastics from their ships. In the hope that others will follow suit, Hurtigruten, who sail to some of the world's most remote, pristine and delicate environments, have made their announcement at a time when concern for rising plastic in the oceans is at an all time high.

Introducing MS Fridtjof Nansen

The 528-passenger MS Fridtjof Nansen joined the Hurtigruten Expeditions fleet in 2020. She honours the heritage of her namesake - the Norwegian explorer, scientist, humanitarian and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Fridtjof Nansen. The ship features a variety of custom-build expedition equipment, including kayaks, a fleet of Blueye underwater drones and expedition boats for safe landings in remote areas.
