Hurtigruten is set to increase capacity on its Norwegian coastal programme after the country’s government removed most Covid restrictions on Saturday (25 September).

All ships operating the cruises have onboard guides that hold lectures and organise activities

The boost comes as the Northern Lights season begins, with the cruise operator expanding the number of passengers it can carry on seven of its vessels. 

Hurtigruten said its shore excursion programme would also “gradually return to normal”. 

Although most Covid restrictions and infection control measures in Norway have been removed, there are still travel restrictions and quarantine rules in place for some overseas travellers. 

For the UK, fully vaccinated travellers – those who have received their second dose at least seven days before travelling – can show their status using the NHS Covid Pass.
