Credit: Hurtigruten Hurtigruten reconfirms year-round departures from Dover Hurtigruten has announced will offer expedition cruises to Norway from Dover, Hamburg and Bergen with three ships, including the MS Maud (former MS Midnatsol). Powered with biofuel and packed with green technology, three small, custom-built Hurtigruten expedition cruise ships will operate expedition voyages along the Norwegian coast – with year-round departures from Dover, Hamburg and Bergen starting from January 2021, according to a press release. “We have seen an increasing demand for closer-to-home departures. We expect this to further increase in the wake of COVID-19. To give our guests even more flexibility, we have decided to expand our offering with year-round expedition cruise programs from both UK, Germany and Norway,” said Hurtigruten CEO Daniel Skjeldam. From Hamburg, the fully upgraded the MS Otto Sverdrup (current MS Finnmarken), will take guests on two different summer and winter itineraries to the North Cape and back. From Dover, the MS Maud (current MS Midnatsol) will offer guests a special winter itinerary, maximizing time above the Arctic circle to enjoy spectacular northern lights – including an overnight stay in Tromsø. During the summer months, the company’s Norway expedition cruises will take guests to North Cape and back. In addition, Hurtigruten is offering two new summer itineraries from Dover: One exploring the British Isles, the other to off-the-beaten-track destinations in Southern Scandinavia. From Bergen, Hurtigruten will offer year-round departures with MS Trollfjord. Sailing directly from the fjord Hurtigruten reconfirms year-round departures from Dover | 2 capital of Bergen, the MS Trollfjord will maximize the time spent exploring the Norwegian coastline to North Cape and back, the company said, including off-the-beaten-track destinations such as Reine in Lofoten, Fjærland and Træna.

Felles Uttalelse
Nesseby Rådhus, 9840 Varangerbotn Mob: 90110562 E-post: [email protected] Hasvik Rådhus 9593 Breivikbotn Mob: 90852916 E-post: [email protected] Til: Samferdselsminister Knut Arild Hareide UTTALELSE: Hurtigruta og reduksjon i seilingsfrekvens. Øst-Finnmarkrådet og Vest-Finnmark Rådet er to politiske samarbeidsorganer, som til sammen organiserer alle de 16 kystkommunene i Finnmark. Finnmark er en region med lange avstander, der man er avhengig av sjøtransporten som en viktig del av logistikk- og beredskapskjeden. Her utgjør normalt Hurtigruten en av de viktigste bærebjelkene. Hurtigruten har vært lojal mot kysten siden oppstarten i 1893, og har overlevd både krig og opp/ned konjunkturer. Men nå i 2020 er vel Hurtigruten inne i en av sine vanskeligste perioder. Det skyldes i all hovedsak Covid 19 pandemien som rammer hele samfunnets. Men vi registrerer også at Hurtigruten de siste årene har endret fokus fra kystens lokale behov til mer å fremstå som et cruise og ekspedisjons rederi. I dagens hurtigruteavtale står det: «Formålet med statens kjøp av transporttjenester langs norskekysten er å sikre et godt rutetilbud for passasjerer som reiser lokalt, regionalt og mellom angitte anløpssteder. Dette er reisende som kun kjøper billett for å reise på selvvalgt strekning og ikke rundreiser, såkalte distansereisende. I tillegg skal det tilbys godskapasitet nord for Tromsø. I dag har Samferdselsdepartementet en avtale med Hurtigruten AS om helårlige, daglige og gjennomgående seilinger med anløp i 34 havner på nord- og 33 på sørgående rute mellom Bergen og Kirkenes. Det statlige kapasitetskravet er fastsatt til 320 passasjerplasser, 120 køyplasser i lugar, og minimum 150 europaller for frakt av gods pr.
