As part of Hurtiguten Foundation, chief executive Daniel Skjeldam told TTG monies would be raised for “grassroots” organisations and charities, while the line will also be introducing voulunteering excursions for its passengers on every voyage.

“We want to offer travel with meaning,” he said. “By having guests, staff, partners and Hurtigruten friends from around the world joining forces, we aim to ensure that future guests can have the same unique experiences in these areas as guests of today.”
