Yes, Wi-Fi will be included in your cruise if you have booked a Select or Premium package. However, fast Wi-fi is also available to access on all ships at a fee.

With the exceptions of MS Vesterålen and MS Nordstjernen, where guests may have to share facilities with other passengers, all other ships and cabins provide individual WC and bathroom facilities.

Hurtigruten’s Explorer ships (MS Fram, MS Spitsbergen, MS Nordstjernen and MS Roald Amundsen) do not have pet cabins, so are unable to facilitate pets. However, apart from MS Nordlys, MS Midnatsol and MS Kong Harald, all of the Norwegian coastal ships can accommodate pets in pet cabin facilities.

No, you don’t have to worry about sharing a cabin with a stranger if you’re travelling alone. When you book, you are not booking a bed; rather a whole cabin, meaning you will have the entire cabin to yourself.

The best time to see the Northern Lights is in winter, between the months of October until the end of March, above the Arctic Circle.
